Conditional expression of flagellar motility, curli fimbriae, and biofilms in Shiga toxin- producing Escherichia albertii

Frontiers in Microbiology
Escherichia albertii is an emerging foodborne pathogen. We previously reported that some avian Shiga toxin-producing E. albertii strains exhibited higher or comparable cytotoxicity in Vero-d2EGFP cells with several enterohemorrhagic E.

Biofilm Development and Stage‐Specific Multi‐Omics Analysis of Metschnikowia bicuspidata Associated With Milky Disease in the Eriocheir sinensis

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Metschnikowia bicuspidata, the causative agent of milky disease in the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), is an important aquatic pathogenic yeast in freshwater aquaculture. However, the developmental characteristics and molecular regulation of its biofilm formation remain poorly understood.

Integrated Genotypic and Phenotypic Determinants Underpin the Environmental Persistence of Escherichia coli in Treated Sewage in Japan

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 6, December 2026.
This study integrated genotypic and phenotypic analyses to investigate the persistence of Escherichia coli in treated sewage in Japan. Virulence‐positive isolates were dominated by phylogroups D and B1, with astA and blaTEM as the predominant virulence and resistance determinants. Among accessory siderophore genes, fecA and chuA were the most prevalent.

Subversion of plant endomembrane trafficking by a Plasmodiophora brassicae effector PbALE that recruits membrane components at the host–pathogen interface to aid in colonization

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 5, Page 2006-2023, December 2026.
Schematics of ΔSPPbALE‐induced disruption of plant endomembrane trafficking impairs both preinvasive and postinvasive immunity against filamentous fungi and facilitates intracellular colonization by Plasmodiophora brassicae. Summary Plasmodiophora brassicae, an intracellular biotrophic protist that causes clubroot in crucifers, extensively alters the ...

Membrane vesicles in Acidithiobacillia class extreme acidophiles: influence on collective behaviors of ‘Fervidacidithiobacillus caldus’

Frontiers in Microbiology
Membrane vesicles (MVs) are envelope-derived extracellular sacs that perform a broad diversity of physiological functions in bacteria. While considerably studied in pathogenic microorganisms, the roles, relevance, and biotechnological potential of MVs ...

Designed Protein‐Based Physical Crosslinker for Triple Helical Collagen Biomaterials

Biopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Collagen plays a pivotal role in animal body structure, but hydrogels of reconstituted collagens often have poor mechanical performance. Chemical crosslinking or the addition of other biopolymers are often used as a remedy. Inspired by the many natural collagen‐interacting proteins that modify the mechanics of collagen hydrogels, we explore ...

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 11, Page 2821-2855, November 2026.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Bacterial Lectins and Adhesins: Structures, Ligands and Functions

, 2011
Infection by bacteria is often initiated by the specific recognition of host epithelial surfaces by adhesins and lectins. These glycan binding proteins (GBP) are therefore virulence factors that play a role in the first step of adhesion and invasion. The
