A Type VII-secreted toxin enables inter-mycobacterial competition

Nature Communications
Most bacteria have evolved mechanisms to compete with other bacteria, often through the specialised secretion of proteinaceous toxins. However, mycobacteria have not previously been reported to engage in this form of competition.

Mechanisms of Resistance, Insights From Case Reports, and Future Prospects in Mycobacteriophage Therapy

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
Evolution of drug‐resistant mycobacterial infections warrants renewed efforts in identifying more efficient preventive and control strategies as well as alternative treatment options. Interest in phage therapy is regaining significant traction, especially in cases of failed conventional therapy.

Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are one of the most complex protein families in the plant kingdom and are present in the cell walls of all land plants.

Crystal structure of endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanase from Streptomyces avermitilis

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 962-971, August 2026.
The crystal structure of S. avermitilis endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanase belonging to GH30 subfamily 5 reveals the first structural framework for endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanase. The β‐1,6‐galactobiose‐bound complex identifies the catalytic subsites and a distal secondary sugar‐binding site, providing insight into β‐1,6‐galactan recognition.Endo‐β‐1,6‐galactanases ...

Automated Glycan Assembly of Oligosaccharides Related to Arabinogalactan Proteins

Organic Letters, 2015
Arabinogalactan proteins are heavily glycosylated proteoglycans in plants. Their glycan portion consists of type-II arabinogalactan polysaccharides whose heterogeneity hampers the assignment of the arabinogalactan protein function. Synthetic chemistry is key to the procurement of molecular probes for plant biologists.

Encapsulation of Nigella sativa Essential Oil by Complex Coacervation Using Gelatin and Gum Arabic

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to encapsulate Nigella sativa essential oil (NSEO) using gelatin (Ge) and gum arabic (GA) via complex coacervation to produce NSEO microcapsules (NSEO‐MCs), optimize encapsulation conditions, characterize the microcapsules, and evaluate antimicrobial activity.

Ultrasound‐Assisted Extraction of Mucilage: An Approach for the Full Utilization of Ora‐Pro‐Nóbis Leaves

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ora‐pro‐nóbis (OPN) leaves are remarkably high in mucilage content. Sustainable processing methods, such as ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE), can enhance the yield and functionality of OPN mucilage (OPNM). The resulting residue (OPNR) can be utilized to support circular economy approaches.

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4766-4779, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...
