TL;DR: The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is a fundamental component of cellular metabolism as discussed by the authors, which shares reactions with the Entner-Doudoroff pathway and the Calvin cycle and divides into an oxidative and non-oxidative branch.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the severity of the delta variant compared with the alpha variant by determining the relative risk of hospital attendance outcomes and found that outbreaks of the Delta variant in unvaccinated populations might lead to a greater burden on health-care services than the alpha variants.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis indicates that heavy traffic of genetic information between Streptomyces plasmids and chromosomes may facilitate the rapid evolution of secondary metabolite repertoires in these bacteria.

TL;DR: This study provides the first detailed insights into the complex sequence of early regulatory events during and preceding the major metabolic switch in S. coelicolor, which will form the starting point for future attempts at engineering antibiotic production in a biotechnological setting.

TL;DR: It is shown through diversity analysis of the microbial community structure based on the 16S rRNA gene that the gut microbiome of IBD patients is less diverse compared to healthy individuals, and a bacterial family co-abundance network is reconstructed, suggesting highly important groups of bacteria in the gut that can coexist with other bacteria across a range of conditions.
