Integrated Kinetic and Transcriptomic Insights Into Nano‐Assisted Tandemol Biodegradation by UV‐Mutagenized Pseudomonas synaxantha rhizo‐25

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assesses the kinetics of Tandemol lubricant degradation by Pseudomonas synaxantha rhizo‐25 after UV treatment and nanoparticle inclusion. The degradation efficiency was assessed in terms of the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) and aromatic compounds degraded in a liquid medium containing Tandemol lubricant.

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

Fontimonas thermophila Alkane Monooxygenase (FtAlkB) Is an Alkyl Fluoride Dehalogenase

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Purified alkane monooxygenase (AlkB) from Fontimonas thermophila (FtAlkB) catalyzes the defluorination of 1-fluorooctane, producing octanal, which is partially reduced under the reaction conditions to generate 1-octanol. This reaction occurs preferentially at the monofluorinated methyl group, with only a minor amount of oxidation at the nonfluorinated ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer and Genome Rearrangements Shape Bacterial Adaptation for Bioremediation

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Exposure to xenobiotics triggers genome evolution and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), driving the acquisition of novel catabolic functions. These genomic adaptations provide a competitive fitness advantage that reshapes microbial community structure and enhances biodegradation impact.

Integrative Multi‐Omics Analysis Elucidates the Progressive Disease Landscape and Reveals Dynamic Protein Biomarkers for MASLD Surveillance

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
Integrated transcriptomic, single‐cell, pseudotime, cell–cell communication, human tissue, and in vivo analyses define a dynamic four‐gene axis across the MASLD continuum. Progressive CYP2C19 downregulation and AKR1B10, COL1A2, and SPP1 upregulation link metabolic dysfunction to disease progression, while AKR1B10 knockdown or CYP2C19 overexpression ...

Draft Genome of Nocardia canadensis sp. nov. Isolated from Petroleum-Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil

Microorganisms, 2023
The bacterial strain WB46 was isolated from the rhizosphere of willow plants (Salix purpurea L.) growing in soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. The strain was subjected to whole-genome shotgun sequencing using Illumina HiSeq.

H2O2 Activation and Alkane Oxidation by Copper Complexes With R‐dpa N3‐Tridentate Ligands: The Complex‐Based Dicopper Active Species as a Key Feature in the Efficient Alkane Oxidation

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 24, 23 June 2026.
Two reaction pathways, Paths 1 and 2, are involved in H2O2 activation by Cu complexes with N3‐tridentate ligands, depending on the ease of bridging structure formation. In Path 1, hydroxy radical (HO•) is formed from a hydroperoxo Cu(II) intermediate. In Path 2, a relevant complex‐based μ‐O• bridged Cu(II)2 active species is formed from a bis‐μ‐oxo Cu ...

Metagenomic analysis of nitrogen and methane cycling in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) are areas in the global ocean where oxygen concentrations drop to below one percent. Low oxygen concentrations allow alternative respiration with nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptor to become prevalent in these areas ...
