Rediscovery of Penicillium paradoxum (Ascomycete: Aspergillaceae) from Maharashtra, India
Penicillium paradoxum has an enigmatic Aspergillus-like anamorphic state; earlier named as Aspergillus paradoxus with a teleomorph state Hemicarpenteles paradoxus. The present paper describes the rediscovery of this species from India after five decades

An Interpretable Machine Learning Approach to Ecologically Characterize Soil Carbon and Structure From Multi-Kingdom Microbiome, Texture and Climate. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Soil physical structure is a critical determinant of agricultural landscape resilience, yet standard pedotransfer functions estimate soil hydraulic and structural properties using static abiotic variables, often overlooking the biological mechanisms that actively organize soil structure.

Nano-plastics disrupt systemic metabolism by remodeling the bile acid-microbiota axis and driving hepatic-intestinal dysfunction. [PDF]
The pervasiveness of microplastic pollution poses a growing health risk, yet its long‐term metabolic consequences remain poorly defined. Here, we exposed mice to polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticle (NP) and combined histopathology, biochemistry, metabolomics, and metagenomics to resolve their interactions.
