We often talk about THE whole genome duplication in yeasts, but we find new evidence of additional whole genome duplications in other yeast species!

Discovery of additional ancient genome duplications in yeasts
Whole genome duplication (WGD) has had profound macroevolutionary impacts on diverse lineages, preceding adaptive radiations in vertebrates, teleost fish, and angiosperms. In contrast to the many know...

FrlP, an ABC type I importer component of Bacillus subtilis: regulation and impact in bacterial fitness
Bacillus subtilis is able to catabolize fructosamines, also known as Amadori rearrangement products. The frlBONMD-frlP operon mediates this process and is subjected to specific and global regulation. ...
