A variety of antimicrobial peptides target the essential process of peptidoglycan synthesis in Gram-positive bacteria. These anti microbial peptides regulate the dynamics of microbial communities and are also of clinical importance as exemplified by peptides such as bacitraci n\, vancomycin\, and daptomycin. Gram-positive bacteria have evolved spec ialized antimicrobial peptide sensing and resistance machinery known as B ce modules. These modules are membrane protein complexes that consist of an unusual Bce-type ABC transporter and an intramembrane sensing two-comp onent system. The ABC transporter and histidine kinase components of a Bc e module physically interact within the lipid bilayer\, and work in tande m to sense and resist antimicrobial peptides that bind to lipid intermedi ates of peptidoglycan synthesis. In this seminar I will highlight recent structural and functional work where we provided the first structural sna pshots of the membrane components of a Bce module from Bacillus subtilis.

Past research conducte d by Matarrita-Cascante and others has shown these new landowners often p urchase farms or ranches of smaller acreage\, have little to no experienc e in agriculture\, and display different demographic\, economic and cultu ral characteristics in relation to the established long-term rural popula tion. Because these new landowners may differ from the traditional rural clients who natural resource agencies work with\, Matarrita-Cascante sai d it's important to bring the two groups together to foster education\, u nderstanding and\, ultimately\, land stewardship. "These workshops are a chance to get to know your community\, get to know like-minded individua ls who value conservation and stewardship\, and become familiar with all of the resources and tools readily available for landowners looking for h elp\," said Morgan Treadwell\, Ph.D.\, AgriLife Extension rangeland speci alist and associate professor in the Department of Rangeland\, Wildlife a nd Fisheries Management \, San Angelo.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:The workshop\, made possible through a grant fro m theU.S. Department of AgricultureNatural Resources Conservation Service\, will be held at the< a href="https://sanangelo.tamu.edu/">Texas A&\;M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at San Angelo\, 7887 U.S. Hwy. 87 N.
The fi rst day of each workshop will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is foc used on providing natural resource agency personnel with the knowledge an d skills to develop collaborative relationships and meet the needs of new ex-urban landowners.
The second day of the workshop takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\, followed by a social. During this time\, new rur al landowners will receive foundational science-based information regardi ng the role of fire and grazing on their land. Community-building session s will also be held with natural resource staff from agencies including < a href="https://agrilife.tamu.edu/">Texas A&\;M AgriLife\, Natural Resource Conservation Service\, Texas A&\;M Forest Service\, Texas Pa rks and Wildlife Department and others. Through these sessions\, land owners will meet key individuals who can assist them in achieving their l and management goals.
David Matarrita-Cascante\, Ph.D.\, associate pro fessor in the College of Agric ulture and Life SciencesDepartment o f Rangeland\, Wildlife and Fisheries Management\, said since the 1970 s\, researchers have noted a trend in urban residents moving to rural are as either seasonally or permanently for a number of reasons.
"Whi le these moves were traditionally linked to tourism and leisure recreatio n\, there has been growth in urban residents moving to agricultural areas \," Matarrita-Cascante said. "This was greatly amplified during the COVID -19 pandemic."
Matarrita-Cascante has studied these trends in rel ocation to rural areas for more than two decades and will facilitate the workshop.
Past research conducted by Matarrita-Cascante and other s has shown these new landowners often purchase farms or ranches of small er acreage\, have little to no experience in agriculture\, and display di fferent demographic\, economic and cultural characteristics in relation t o the established long-term rural population.
Because these new l andowners may differ from the traditional rural clients who natural resou rce agencies work with\, Matarrita-Cascante said it's important to bring the two groups together to foster education\, understanding and\, ultimat ely\, land stewardship.
"These workshops are a chance to get to k now your community\, get to know like-minded individuals who value conser vation and stewardship\, and become familiar with all of the resources an d tools readily available for landowners looking for help\," said Morgan Treadwell\, Ph.D.\, AgriLife Extension rangeland specialist and associate professor in the Department of Rangeland\, Wildlife and Fisheries Manage ment \, San Angelo.

Radical reactions have enjoyed widespread ap plications in small molecule and macromolecule synthesis. However\, due t o the lack of exploitable stereocontrol elements in synthetic systems\, s teering the absolute and relative stereochemistry of free radical transfo rmations is notoriously difficult in asymmetric catalysis. Combining synt hetic chemistry and biocatalysis\, our group advanced two novel strategie s to enable stereoselective free radical processes. First\, by capitalizi ng on the innate redox properties of first-row transition-metal cofactors in natural metalloproteins\, we repurposed natural metalloproteins to ca talyze unnatural radical reactions in a stereocontrolled fashion. Through metalloenzyme-catalyzed atom transfer\, a range of radical-mediated C– C\, C–Br\, and C–F bond forming processes proceeded with excellent st ereocontrol. Our evolved metalloenzymes readily function in bacterial cel ls\, displaying excellent total turnover numbers (up to 20\,000) and dias tereo- and enantioselectivities. Second\, by merging visible light photor edox catalysis and biocatalysis\, we advanced a novel mode of pyridoxal r adical biocatalysis which is unprecedented in biochemistry and organic ch emistry. This synergistic photoredox–pyridoxal radical biocatalysis all owed us to repurpose a range of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzym es as radical enzymes\, leading to new radical PLP enzymology. Pyridoxal radical biocatalysis provides access to a range of non-canonical amino ac ids\, including those bearing a stereochemical dyad or triad\, with excel lent diastereo- and enantiocontrol. Collectively\, new-to-nature radical biocatalysis provide a new solution to discover new modes of catalysis in volving transient free radical intermediates\, allowing radical transform ations to be performed with exquisite stereocontrol.

"While t hese moves were traditionally linked to tourism and leisure recreation\, there has been growth in urban residents moving to agricultural areas\," Matarrita-Cascante said. "This was greatly amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic." Matarrita-Cascante has studied these trends in relocation to rural areas for more than two decades and will facilitate the workshop.

The first day of each workshop will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p. m. and is focused on providing natural resource agency personnel with the knowledge and skills to develop collaborative relationships and meet the needs of new ex-urban landowners. The second day of the workshop takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\, followed by a social. During this time\, n ew rural landowners will receive foundational science-based information r egarding the role of fire and grazing on their land. Community-building s essions will also be held with natural resource staff from agencies inclu ding Texas A&\;M AgriLife (https://agrilife.tamu.edu/)\, Natural Resou rce Conservation Service\, Texas A&\;M Forest Service (https://tfsweb. tamu.edu/)\, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (https://tpwd.texas.gov/ ) and others. Through these sessions\, landowners will meet key individua ls who can assist them in achieving their land management goals. Worksho ps reflect trends in ex-urban rural land ownership David Matarrita-Casca nte\, Ph.D.\, associate professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (https://aglifesciences.tamu.edu/)Department of Rangeland\, Wild life and Fisheries Management (https://rwfm.tamu.edu/)\, said since the 1 970s\, researchers have noted a trend in urban residents moving to rural areas either seasonally or permanently for a number of reasons. "While t hese moves were traditionally linked to tourism and leisure recreation\, there has been growth in urban residents moving to agricultural areas\," Matarrita-Cascante said. "This was greatly amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic." Matarrita-Cascante has studied these trends in relocation to rural areas for more than two decades and will facilitate the workshop. Past research conducted by Matarrita-Cascante and others has shown these new landowners often purchase farms or ranches of smaller acreage\, have little to no experience in agriculture\, and display different demographi c\, economic and cultural characteristics in relation to the established long-term rural population. Because these new landowners may differ from the traditional rural clients who natural resource agencies work with\, Matarrita-Cascante said it's important to bring the two groups together t o foster education\, understanding and\, ultimately\, land stewardship. "These workshops are a chance to get to know your community\, get to know like-minded individuals who value conservation and stewardship\, and bec ome familiar with all of the resources and tools readily available for la ndowners looking for help\," said Morgan Treadwell\, Ph.D.\, AgriLife Ext ension rangeland specialist and associate professor in the Department of Rangeland\, Wildlife and Fisheries Management \, San Angelo.

Alkalinity\, hardness\, and calcium all affect fish survival and growth\, and yet alkalinity is naturally dec reased over time in a pond as photosynthesis and bacterial processes occu r in a pond. This can lead to reduced primary productivity (food and ener gy production) and in turn lead to reduced fish growth and smaller fish p opulations. In rare cases\, it can even lead to fish deaths and collapse of recruitment to a fishery.
The primary way in which to increase alkalinity\, hardness\, and calcium is through liming a pond. We will discuss the various compounds that can be used to lime a pond and what effect it will have on your fishery. In a ddition\, turbidity (muddy water) also drastically limits primary product ivity and fish growth and can be aesthetically displeasing to look at.

Changes in rules\, regulations
On Jan. 16\, the one-year grace period expired after TDA adopted rule cha nges related to the Structural Pest Control Service\, SPCS\, last January \, and these rules will now be enforced when inspectors are performing th eir annual inspections.
"This year it is more important than ever that IPM coordinators for schools are aware of new rules and law changes they must adhere to\," Hurley said.
Under the Texas Administrati ve Code\, all public schools in Texas are required to adopt\, implement a nd maintain a school IPM program\, but she said many school districts are still not implementing their IPM programs to the letter of the law.
< p> The Texas law requires each school board to adopt an IPM policy that follows all legal requirements for pesticide use. The schools must make t heir policy available for the public to review. Importantly\, each distri ct must designate an IPM coordinator who ensures compliance with the IPM policy.The state rules require each district IPM coordinator to attend a six-hour training class within six months of appointment. After the initial training\, the school IPM rules require coordinators to recei ve an additional six hours of training in school IPM every three years. p>
Hurley said one of the new rules has to do with the position of IP M coordinator\, and school districts are now required to notify the SPCS when an IPM coordinator leaves within 10 days of their leaving. This must be done in writing\, and a new IPM coordinator must be appointed within 30 days of losing the current coordinator.
IPM coordinator responsibilities
These trainings are designed to give th e IPM coordinator\, who often wears more than one "hat" at the school dis trict\, a foundation to oversee their role in the IPM program.
"I t's important to understand that the school district's IPM coordinator ha s a lot to oversee\," Hurley said.
