Background Renewable energy production is currently a major issue worldwide. Biogas is a
promising renewable energy carrier as the technology of its production combines the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ribosomally synthesized natural antibiotics that are crucial
effectors of innate immune systems in all living organisms. AMPs are diverse peptides, …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising antimicrobials, however, the potential of bacterial
resistance is a major concern. Here we systematically study the evolution of resistance to …

High salinity is a challenging environmental stress for organisms to overcome. Unicellular
photosynthetic microalgae are especially vulnerable as they have to grapple not only with …

Symbiosis between rhizobia soil bacteria and legume plants results in the formation of root
nodules where plant cells are fully packed with nitrogen fixing bacteria. In the host cells, the …

H 2 is considered as the ultimate cleanest energy carrier to be generated from renewable
sources. Biohydrogen production is carried out using the enzymes nitrogenase or hydrogenase…

The symbiosis between rhizobia soil bacteria and legumes is facultative and initiated by
nitrogen starvation of the host plant. Exchange of signal molecules between the partners leads …

It is generally accepted as a fact in the biogas technology that protein-rich biomass substrates
should be avoided due to inevitable process inhibition. Substrate compositions with a low …

Stability of biogas production is highly dependent on the microbial community composition
of the bioreactors. This composition is basically determined by the nature of biomass …

Highlights • Medicago truncatula has both typical defensins and defensin-like peptides. •
Nodule Cys-rich peptides (NCRs) comprise the majority of defensin-like peptides in M. …
