Non-canonical start codons confer context-dependent advantages in carbohydrate utilization for commensal E. coli in the murine gut

Non-canonical start codons promote carbohydrate exploitation and faster metabolic adaptation, conferring growth advantages to commensal Escherichia coli in the mouse gut.

Chemotaxis and autoinducer-2 signalling mediate colonization and contribute to co-existence of Escherichia coli strains in the murine gut

The quorum-sensing signal autoinducer 2 can induce chemotaxis in Escherichia coli strains, which promotes gut colonization and co-existence of strains in the murine gut.

Gene-level analysis of core carbohydrate metabolism across the Enterobacteriaceae pan-genome

Pan-genome analysis reveals that Enterobacteriaceae share a core metabolic strategy based on monosaccharide-fueled mixed acid fermentation and aerobic respiration, enabling future identification of niche-defining traits in this diverse bacterial family.

Estimation of global final-stage energy-return-on-investment for fossil fuels with comparison to renewable energy sources

Published energy-return-on-investment ratios for fossil fuels have not always been estimated at the final point of use. By including all energy required for processing and the supply chain, Brockway et al. find that fossil fuels might have final energy return close to renewables and susceptible to rapid further decline in the near future.
