Vegetation patterning can both impede and trigger critical transitions from savanna to grassland by Jelle van der Voort, Mara Baudena, Ehud Meron, Max Rietkerk, Arjen Doelman

“…Moreover, the model predicts vegetation patterns consisting of trees and grasses, particularly under harsh environmental conditions, which can persist in situations where a non-spatial version of the model predicts ecosystem collapse from savanna to grassland instead (a phenomenon called ‘Turing-evades-tipping’). …”

A single nucleotide change affects fur-dependent regulation of sodB in H. pylori. by Beth M Carpenter, Hanan Gancz, Reyda P Gonzalez-Nieves, Abby L West, Jeannette M Whitmire, Sarah L J Michel, D Scott Merrell

“…Helicobacter pylori is a significant human pathogen that has adapted to survive the many stresses found within the gastric environment. Superoxide Dismutase (SodB) is an important factor that helps H. pylori combat oxidative stress. sodB was previously shown to be repressed by the Ferric Uptake Regulator (Fur) in the absence of iron (apo-Fur regulation) [1]. …”
