TL;DR: RNaseIII-deficient, dsRNA-expressing bacterial strains were created from the symbionts of two very diverse pest species: a long-lived blood-sucking bug and a short-lived globally invasive polyphagous agricultural pest, western flower thrips.

TL;DR: A versatile procedure for systematic and comprehensive mutagenesis of the S. coelicolor genome, which permits introduction of mutations into different genetic backgrounds and qualitative measurement of the expression of disrupted genes as demonstrated in the analysis of a hybrid histidine kinase and response regulator gene pair involved in osmoadaptation in Streptomyces.

TL;DR: It is inferred that protein localization is guided by low-affinity interactions between structurally different unlinked peptidoglycan stem peptides and individual PASTA domains, allowing an STPK to coordinate peptidglycan remodeling and reproduction of a complex cell wall structure.

TL;DR: The results suggest that a duplicated AUD structure is required for high-frequency amplification and that this reiteration can subsequently buffer the extent of deletion formation in the relevant chromosomal region.

TL;DR: Functional metagenomic prediction, using PICRUSt, indicated that Actinobacteria play an important role in nitrogen cycling in both desert and cultivated farm ecosystems.
