A high-throughput drug discovery assay for the endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1

The January 2023 issue of SLAS Discovery contains a collection of four full-length articles and one technical brief covering cancer research, high-throughput screening (HTS) assay development and other drug discovery exploration.

Study reveals how complex carbon and nutrient sources are metabolized by interacting microbes

Interactions among microorganisms in soil lead to the release of nutrients derived from complex organic matter in that soil.

How do methanogens grow on toxic sulfite?

Methanogens are microbes that produce methane when there is little or no oxygen in their surroundings.

Methane emissions offset atmospheric carbon dioxide uptake in the blue carbon ecosystems

Bladderwrack in the Baltic Sea emits significant amounts of methane, which, to some extent, can offset the uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide by these algae.

Bacteria do engage in photosynthesis, research suggests

Knowing whether or not marine microbes engage in photosynthesis -; the use of sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into energy -; could help scientists to learn if ocean bacteria play a role in the global carbon cycle.

Dual threat may lead cyanobacteria to take in more carbon

The types of ocean bacteria known to absorb carbon dioxide from the air require more energy – in the form of carbon – and other resources when they're simultaneously infected by viruses and face attack from nearby predators, new research has found.

Increasing soil carbon storage and longevity

As atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations continue to rise, there is an urgent need for new, bold solutions for carbon dioxide removal.

Decades of research on biosolids and its benefits

For more than four decades, biosolids have been applied to land and studied by researchers for many useful purposes.

Soil viruses contribute auxiliary functions to their hosts

There are billions of fungi, bacteria, and viruses, in a handful of soil, all working to support the cycle of life. Comprehending the interaction of these microbes with one another aids researchers evaluate soil carbon and nutrient cycling, soil health, and also the means through which dead insects decompose.

Study shows how microbial functional genes-environment links for soil health monitoring

In terms of functional gene content, soil bacteria are important agents that influence how ecosystems work, but the understanding of their ecological implications and functional characterization is still insufficient.

Rhizosphere-on-a-chip with a simulated soil allows scientists to view how roots grow over time

The rhizosphere is the living ecosystem around plant roots. It is a dynamic ecosystem of plant and microbes that is difficult to study because soil is opaque and complex.

Understanding why brain training works for some people but not others

If you are skilled at playing puzzles on your smartphone or tablet, what does it say about how fast you learn new puzzles, or, more broadly, how well you can focus, say, in school or at work? Or, in the language of psychologists, does "near transfer" predict "far transfer"?
