Rethinking the Niche of Upper-Atmosphere Bacteria: Draft Genome Sequences of Ba...
Ramos-Silva, Paula; Brito, Patrícia H; Serrano, Mónica; Henriques, Adriano O; Pereira-Leal, José BHere, we report two genome sequences of endospore-forming bacteria isolated from the rice fields of Comporta, Portugal, identified as Bacillus aryabhattai C765 and Bacillus aerophilus C772. Both species were previously identified in air samples from the upper atmosphere, but our findings suggest their presence in a wider range of environmental niches.
The evolution of metazoan α-carbonic anhydrases and their roles in calcium carb...
Le Roy, Nathalie; Jackson, Daniel J; Marie, Benjamin; Ramos-Silva, Paula; Marin, FrédéricThe carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) superfamily is a class of ubiquitous metallo-enzymes that catalyse the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. The ?-CA family, present in all metazoan clades, is a key enzyme involved in a wide range of physiological functions including pH regulation, respiration, photosynthesis, and biocalcification. This paper reviews the evolution of the ?-CA family, with an emphasis ...
