Reinvestigation into the role of lipopolysaccharide Glycosyltransferases in Helicobacter pylori protein glycosylation by Hong Li, Xiaoqiong Tang, Tiandi Yang, Tingting Liao, Aleksandra W. Debowski, Tiankuo Yang, Yalin Shen, Hans-Olof Nilsson, Stuart M. Haslam, Barbara Mulloy, Anne Dell, Keith A. Stubbs, Wolfgang Fischer, Rainer Haas, Hong Tang, Barry J. Marshall, Mohammed Benghezal

“…As LPS is a unique component of virtually all Gram-negative bacteria, our data suggest that when observing protein electrophoretic mobility shifts between wild-type and LPS mutant strains or between subcellular fractionation samples, the influence of LPS on protein electrophoretic migration should be considered first, rather than interpreting it as potential protein glycosylation that is dependent upon LPS biosynthetic pathway.…”

Effects of Mixing Tree Species on Soil Enzyme Activity and Carbon-Use Efficiency in Eroded Masson Pine Forest by WANG Man, JIANG Yongmeng, ZHANG Shiliang, ZHANG Jinxiu, ZHENG Linmin, ZENG Zhiwei, LYU Maokui, XIE Jinsheng

“…Specifically, compared with that of Y39-CF and Y19-MF, CUE of Y39-MF significantly increased by 200.00% and 136.84%, respectively. (3) By analyzing the characteristics of soil enzyme activity and the relationship between CUE and environmental factors, it was found that soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus availability was an important influencing factor, mainly affecting AP activity, C∶PEEA, N∶PEEA, VL, VA and CUE, while the stoichiometric ratio of soil nutrients mainly affected βG activity and C∶NEEA. (4) The results of redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the ratio of fungi and bacteria mainly affected the characteristics of soil enzyme activity and CUE in the mixed forest, while the main influencing factors in pure forest were actinomyces and Gram-negative bacteria. [Conclusion] Mixing tree species significantly improves forest soil nutrients, affects the release of soil extracellular enzymes, and improves CUE, and it is conducive to soil carbon sequestration. …”
