CAREER: Organic and inorganic carbon metabolism in methanotrophic bacteria

Description: Data management plan for the grant, "CAREER: Organic and inorganic carbon metabolism in methanotrophic bacteria." Evidence shows that the methanotroph Methylococcus capsulatus can uniquely co-utilize CH4 and CO2 as carbon sources, but the underlying metabolism and its regulation is incompletely understood. This project will leverage recently developed methanotroph genetic tools and high throughput CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) functional genetic techniques to further define the role of CO2 and … more

Overexpression of native carbonic anhydrases increases carbon conversion efficiency in the methanotrophic biocatalyst Methylococcus capsulatus Bath

Description: In this article authors show that M. capsulatus expresses five carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms, one α-CA, one γ-CA, and three β-CAs, that play a role in its inorganic carbon metabolism and CO2-dependent growth. The authors developed an engineered methanotrophic biocatalyst overexpressing the native α-CA and β-CA with a 2.5-fold improvement in the conversion of CH4 to biomass.

Construction of a broad-host-range Anderson promoter series and particulate methane monoxygenase promoter variants expand the methanotroph genetic toolbox

Description: This article determined the copy number of three broad-host-range plasmids in Methylococcus capsulatus Bath and Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, representing phylogenetically diverse Gammaproteobacterial and Alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs, respectively. The authors mutagenized the native M. Capsulatus particulate methane monooxygenase promoter and identified variants with activity that expand the activity range of synthetic, constitutive promotors functional not only in M. capsulatus, but a… more

Shell shape does not accurately predict self-righting ability in hatchling freshwater turtles

Description: This article examines hatchling self-righting performance in three morphologically distinct freshwater turtle species that inhabit similar environmental niches. The authors demonstrate that these hatchlings were capable of rapid self-righting and used considerably less biomechanical effort relative to adult turtles.

The plant cell wall-dynamic, strong, and adaptable-is a natural shapeshifter

Description: In this article the authors cover the evolution of knowledge of the structures, biosynthesis, and functions of the 5 major cell wall polymer types that range from deceptively simple to fiendishly complex. The authors predict the next century of progress will include deciphering cell type–specific wall polymers; regulation at all levels of polymer production, crosslinks, and architecture; and how walls respond to developmental and environmental signals to drive plant success in diverse environme… more

A century of studying plant secondary metabolism-From "what?" to "where, how, and why?"

Description: The authors of this article assert that over the past century, early advances in understanding the identity of the chemicals that collectively form a living plant have led scientists to deeper investigations exploring where these molecules localize, how they are made, and why they are synthesized in the first place. The authors review the history of this work, offer suggestions for future areas of exploration, and also highlight some of the recently developed technologies that are leading to on… more

White-crested elaenias (Elaenia albiceps chilensis) breeding across Patagonia exhibit similar spatial and temporal movement patterns throughout the year

Description: This article asserts that for migratory birds, events happening during any period of their annual cycle can have strong carry-over effects on the subsequent periods. The authors assessed the annual cycle of the White-crested Elaenia (Elaenia albiceps chilensis), the longest-distance migrant flycatcher within South America, which breeds in Patagonia and spends the non-breeding season as far north as Amazonia.

Developmental plasticity of the cardiovascular system in oviparous vertebrates: effects of chronic hypoxia and interactive stressors in the context of climate change

Description: The authors of this article discuss and compare the phenotypic consequences of chronic developmental hypoxia on the cardiovascular system of oviparous vertebrates. Although important progress has been made, the authors' review identifies knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to fully understand the impact of climate change on the developmental plasticity of the oviparous vertebrate cardiovascular system.

Revisiting decade-old questions in proanthocyanidin biosynthesis: current understanding and new challenges

Description: This article asserts that proanthocyanidins (PAs), one of the most abundant natural polymers found in plants, are gaining increasing attention because of their beneficial effects for agriculture and human health. Scientists raised some compelling questions regarding PA biosynthesis about two decades ago in the hope that addressing these questions would lead to an enhanced understanding of PA biosynthesis in plants and the author of this article seeks to revisit those questions.

Swimming Performance Assessments of Fish Species of Greatest Conservation Need to Inform Future Stream Crossing Designs in Texas

Description: This article focused on four fish species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) native to the Edwards Plateau Ecoregion, namely the Guadalupe Bass, Guadalupe Roundnose Minnow, Guadalupe Darter, and Plateau Shiner. The authors' primary aim was to aid in the design of future culverts associated with stream crossings so that the water velocities through these structures do not exceed the swimming capacities of the SGCN fishes.

Genetic Basis for Morphological Variation in the Zebrafish Danio rerio: Insights from a Low-Heterozygosity Line

Description: This article asserts that in zebrafish, inbred lines derived from wild-type lines have been produced to greatly decrease genetic variation, with the goal of providing better understanding of genetic backgrounds that may influence the experimental outcome of studies employing such lines. The authors hypothesized that variations in morphological phenotypes shaped by environmental stressors early in development are correlated with the intrinsic degree of genetic variability of zebrafish lines.

Synthesizing foundations in evolutionary morphology and a plea for conceptual explicitness regarding homology concepts

Description: This article expands on conceptual framework of evolutionary morphology to identify entities and processes vital for morphology as independent scientific discipline. Because there is no unified homology concept, following the emergence of bio-ontologies in morphology the authors plea for conceptual explicitness which acknowledges the plurality of homology concepts but enables intersubjective transfer.
