Fungi are overlooked dimethylsulfoniopropionate degraders in marine environments

Abstract Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a key marine organosulfur compound, whose microbial catabolism is critical to global sulfur cycling and is the major source of the climate-active gas dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Research has focused on bacterial and algal DMSP catabolism,...

Cdk1 heterozygosity triggers premeiotic endoreplication and unreduced sperm formation via the Cdk2/Ccne1–Fzr1a pathway in loach, a teleost

Polyploidy represents a major driver of eukaryotic genome evolution. In vertebrates, premeiotic endoreplication is considered as an important route to polyploidization, yet the molecular basis governing this process remains elusive. Here, we reported that heterozygous mutation of...
