2016 chapter

Aerobic Degradation of Gasoline Ether Oxygenates

In Aerobic Utilization of Hydrocarbons, Oils and Lipids.

Michael Hyman

TL;DR: This review summarizes the main microorganisms, enzymes, and pathways involved in each of these processes and highlights research areas where there is both clear consensus and areas where results are more ambiguous and likely require further investigation. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

The CRISPR RNA-guided surveillance complex in Escherichia coli accommodates extended RNA spacers

NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH, 44(15), 7385–7394.

MeSH headings : CRISPR-Associated Proteins / metabolism; CRISPR-Cas Systems / genetics; DNA / metabolism; Escherichia coli / genetics; Escherichia coli Proteins / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial; Gene Silencing; Macromolecular Substances / chemistry; Macromolecular Substances / metabolism; RNA, Bacterial / chemistry; RNA, Bacterial / genetics; RNA, Guide, Kinetoplastida / chemistry; RNA, Guide, Kinetoplastida / genetics; Transcription, Genetic
TL;DR: It is found that extending the spacer portion of the crRNA resulted in larger Cascade complexes with altered stoichiometry and preserved in vitro binding affinity for target DNA, and spacer length can be modified to fine-tune Cascade activity. (via Semantic Scholar)
