• Scientists discover new clue to the chemical origins of life

  Organic chemists at the University of York have made a significant advance towards establishing the origin of the carbohydrates (sugars) that form the building blocks of life. A team led by Dr Paul Clarke in the Department of Chemistry at York have re-created a process which could have occurred in t more

• Waiting for the sun to come out: How photosynthesis adapts to varying light levels

  Photosynthesis is the most essential process for most forms of life on Earth. A research team led by biochemist Prof. Michael Groll (TUM) and biologist Dr. Bettina Bölter (LMU) has now shown how an interaction between two proteins helps plants control the rate of photosynthesis and carbon dioxide fi more

• Wood's 'noble rot' fungus genetically decoded

  An international team including Empa researcher Francis Schwarze has sequenced the genome of the common split gill mushroom, Schizophyllum commune, a widely distributed fungus which grows on and decomposes wood. The genome, containing some 13,000 genes, has recently been published in Nature Biotechn more

• SO2‐catalyzed steam explosion: The effects of different severity on digestibility, accessibility, and crystallinity of lignocellulosic biomass

  Lignocellulosic biomass is the most promising feedstock for biofuels production. To enhance the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis, lignocellulosics needs to be pretreated to lower their recalcitrance. SO2‐catalyzed steam explosion is an efficient and relatively cost‐efficient pretreatment method more

• Metabolite analysis of the effects of elevated CO2 and nitrogen fertilization on the association between tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus) and its fungal symbiont Neotypho ...

  Abstract Atmospheric CO2 is expected to increase to between 550 ppm and 1000 ppm in the next century. CO2‐induced changes in plant physiology can have ecosystem‐wide implications and may alter plant‐plant, plant‐herbivore and plant‐symbiont interactions. We examined the effects of three concentr more

• A carbon responsive G‐protein coupled receptor modulates broad developmental and genetic networks in the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana

  Summary In fungi, G‐protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) link ligand/nutrient sensing to growth, mating, developmental/life‐stage activation, and pathogenesis. A GPCR was characterized from the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana (BbGPCR3), which links nutrient sensing to stress response an more
