In agro-ecosystem, plant pathogens hamper food quality, crop yield, and global food security. Manipulation of naturally occurring defense mechanisms in hos
Where do plants get the energy to make organic molecules? How are the circulatory systems in animals and plants alike? How do heterotrophs obtain energy? How is cell differentiation different in plants and animals? How do plants get oxygen for cellular respiration? What are the energy...
After glucose metabolism, dietary carbohydrates produce energy and organic acids as metabolic by-products50. The acid-producing activity ofS. mutansis not only a critical factor contributing to its pathogenicity but also a crucial characteristic leading to dental caries. Bacteria enolase, an enzyme enc...

In plants, chemical diversity has determined their evolutionary success. Because of their sessile habitus, plants are unable to avoid worsening environmental conditions, and they cannot escape the plethora of previously mentioned biotic stresses. Consequently, unlike animals, plants have evolved an ...
Using just sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, plants make carbohydrates to fuel their growth. The process of photosynthesis originated on this planet over three billion years ago, according toPennState– but scientists still have a lot to learn about all the steps involved in this complex process...
Plants synthesize a large number of primary and secondary metabolites. Primary metabolites (PMs), including carbohydrates, alcohols, vitamins, nucleotides, amino acids (AAs) and organic acids, are essential for normal growth and development of plants by providing structural compounds and necessary energy...
Natto is one of more nutrient-dense foods, including in the three macronutrients that are unusually well balanced. One serving of natto delivers 13 grams of carbohydrates, 11 grams of fat and 19 grams of protein. As such, it’s considered ahigh-protein foodas well as aplant-based protein....
Microbes have the ability to consume or degrade a wide range of molecules including carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins as sources of energy. This ability allows researchers to identify and distinguish microbes based on their specific catabolic properties such ...
