TL;DR: A cyanobacteria class-3 aldehyde-dehydrogenase, AldE, was discovered that was necessary and sufficient to instead oxidize fatty aldehydes precursors into fatty acids, which may allow biofuel production without transgenesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that growing worms in the presence of H2S is sufficient to confer resistance to Pseudomonas fast paralytic killing, and the results suggest the hypoxia-independent hif-1 response in C. elegans evolved to respond to the naturally occurring small molecules H 2S and HCN.

TL;DR: It is discovered that when glycogen synthesis was abolished, by deletion of the gene for glucose-1-phosphate adenylyl transferase (glgC), Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 was unable to degrade its phycobilisomes in response to nitrogen stress, and glgC null cells exhibited a non-bleaching phenotype in responseto sulfur and phosphate stress.

TL;DR: A model in which HIF-1 and SKN-1 coordinate a broad transcriptional response to H2S that culminates in a global reorganization of protein homeostasis networks is suggested.

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous production system for producing carbon-containing compounds, comprising a genetically modified photosynthetic microorganism such as a Cyanobacterium, that contains one or more mutations or deletions in a glycogen biosynthesis or storage pathway, is described.
