Ocean metaproteomics is an emerging field enabling discoveries about marine microbial
communities and their impact on global biogeochemical processes. Recent ocean …

Bacterial membrane vesicles have been implicated in a broad range of functions in microbial
communities from pathogenesis to gene transfer. Though first thought to be a phenomenon …

Biocathode extracellular electron transfer (EET) may be exploited for biotechnology
applications, including microbially mediated O 2 reduction in microbial fuel cells and microbial …

Recent reports have shown that Gram-positive bacteria actively secrete spherical nanometer-sized
proteoliposome membrane vesicles (MVs) into their surroundings. Though MVs are …

Barnacles adhere by producing a mixture of cement proteins (CPs) that organize into a
permanently bonded layer displayed as nanoscale fibers. These cement proteins share no …

… Proteins were then extracted using the modified phenol protein extraction method (Leary et
al. Citation2012). The protein pellets were dissolved in 2% SDS and aliquots of the resulting …

Oxidases are found to play a growing role in providing functional chemistry to marine adhesives
for the permanent attachment of macrofouling organisms. Here, we demonstrate active …

Biocathodes provide a stable electron source to drive reduction reactions in electrotrophic
microbial electrochemical systems. Electroautotrophic biocathode communities may be more …

Snorkelers in mangrove forest waters inhabited by the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea
xamachana report discomfort due to a sensation known as stinging water, the cause of which is …
