The Dual-Functioning Fumarate Reductase: A Critical Enzyme in Campylobacter Jejuni Colonization

Research from the United States has revealed that Campylobacter jejuni, a leading cause of foodborne illness, relies on amino acids as its exclusive source of reduced carbon, incorporated into central carbon metabolism. The oxidation of succinate to fumarate is a crucial step in the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and

Cell Wall Integrity and Filamentous Growth Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathways in Yeast Cell Wall Remodeling

The researchers from the State University of New York, Department of Biological Sciences, have published a report on the role of cell wall integrity and filamentous growth mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways in yeast cell wall remodeling. The study reveals that genetic screens identified genes required for filamentous growth in the
