Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 1-17, January 2026.
Extant crocodylians may be divided into five clusters based on the residuals of four linear dental measurements (y‐axes) and their variation along the jaw (x‐axes). These clusters correlate to snout shape, prey preference, and feeding ecology, particularly prey size and the degree of processing necessary. Multiple families and subfamilies were found in

Antimicrobial Activity of Actinobacteria Isolated From Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) Leaves: Secondary Metabolite Profiling and Genome Analysis of Micromonospora chersina NRAIS18

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Actinobacteria associated with medicinal plants are recognized as prolific sources of novel bioactive compounds. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) leaves have been reported to contain a diverse array of secondary metabolites with pharmacological activities, including antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory effects. In this study, 16 actinobacterial

Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities of Bluestem (Andropogon spp.) Extracts against Vibrio cholerae

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vibrio cholerae is a gram‐negative bacterium found in water, particularly in brackish and estuarine environments, and causes cholera—an acute disease transmitted through contaminated food or water. Biofilm formation in V. cholerae enhances its resistance to antimicrobial agents and protection against host immune responses.
