How bacteria subvert plant immunity - see the perspective at https://t.co/ThITliq4PI for this fantastic Science paper by the van der Hoorn lab: https://t.co/6Di3y91F9B
Marian and Safak's metabolic flux paper at Nature: https://t.co/MGY0cjdfaY Highlights include establishing the primary use of amino acids and bacterial RNA (!) as a tricarboxylic acid cycle carbon source.
@elonmusk I asked Perplexity: "Can you estimate, using publicly available information, the % of overhead cost, in terms of administrative and facilities costs, of the price of a Tesla?" Answer: "SG&A Expenses totaled $5.2 billion, representing 50% of Tesla’s total operating expenses".
@Nature It's really a rheostat - if the microbiota produce too much bile acids, which could perturb cholesterol metabolism, the body pushes back by converting the microbiota-derived bile acids into derivatives with the opposite activity.
Congratulations to Tae, Arif, and Chris on publication of their Nature paper, reporting a new class of bile acids that regulate cholesterol metabolism: https://t.co/vhiIFmjemL
