Rethinking Plasticity in Sponges
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 431-446, September 2026.This systematic review critiques the conceptual confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of “plasticity” in Porifera literature, revealing that researchers often overlook genetic variability and fail to distinguish between real‐time environmental responses and natural selection.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.Experiments performed in the Southern Ocean under low‐ and high‐iron conditions showed that the heterotrophic bacteria community produced distinct iron‐binding compounds called siderophores, depending on the environmental conditions, despite similar bacteria communities being present in each experiment.

Discovery of a cryptic aminoacidic triad involved in the temperature adaptation of GH1 enzymes
The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 17, Page 5282-5302, September 2026.Cold‐active enzymes retain high catalytic activity at low temperatures but are characterized by thermal instability, a behavior not fully understood. Comparison between a cold‐active GH1 and its mesophilic counterparts highlights the role of a three‐residue motif (W‐M‐F) in conferring structural stability to a mesophilic GH1.

The ecological dichotomy of ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria in the hyper-arid soils of the Antarctic Dry Valleys [PDF]
, 2014 The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are considered to be one of the most physically and chemically extreme terrestrial environments on the Earth. However, little is known about the organisms involved in nitrogen transformations in these environments ...

Identification of Microbial Dark Matter in Antarctic Environments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Numerous studies have applied molecular techniques to understand the diversity, evolution, and ecological function of Antarctic bacteria and archaea. One common technique is sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, which produces a nearly quantitative profile of

Tipping Points in Bacterial Richness Amplify Extracellular Enzyme Activities in Northern Peatlands
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.Using a trans‐Holarctic survey in Sphagnum‐dominated peatlands, we identify a critical bacterial biodiversity threshold. Below this threshold, ecosystem function shifts, increasing enzyme activities by 60%, potentially accelerating carbon turnover. This weakens the peatland carbon sink, emphasizing the need to safeguard diversity.
