TL;DR: The metabolic engineering of a rhamnolipid producing Pseudomonas putida KT2440, a strain certified as safety strain using glucose as carbon source to avoid cumbersome product purification, is reported, finding a functional alternative to the pathogen P. aeruginosa.

TL;DR: This Comment aims to clarify important aspects related to myths and realities about plastic biodegradation and suggests distinct strategies for a bio-based circular plastic economy in the future.

TL;DR: Chemical and biological single cell analyses provide an unprecedented access to the understanding of cell-to-cell differences and basic biological concepts.

TL;DR: Pex7p and Pex13p functionally interact during PTS2-dependent protein import into peroxisomes, and genetic evidence for the interaction is provided by the observation that overexpression of Px13p suppresses a loss of function mutant of PEx7p.

TL;DR: The results indicate that glucose repression of the TCA cycle is regulated by the rates of growth or glucose uptake, or signals derived from these, and while sensing of extracellular glucose concentrations has a general influence on the in vivo TCA Cycle activity, the growth-rate-dependent increase in respiratory T CA cycle activity was independent of glucose sensing.
