Exploring the Development of Wild Microbiomes in the Eastern Fence Lizard

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to profile the bacterial community from the guts of wild Eastern Fence Lizards. Microbiome profiles were collected at four distinct time points when lizards were actively foraging in the environment and across four age groups, aiming to characterise the natural variation in bacterial diversity.

Geographic Variability of Fish Carcass–Associated Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
When sardine carcasses (A) were deployed across seven Japanese tidal flats (B), both bacterial (D) and ciliophoran assemblages (C) varied substantially among sites. Yet, carcass‐associated shifts (blue) were overshadowed by regional variation (red), indicating that local species pools and environmental conditions—rather than carcass inputs alone ...

Fluorogenic Coupled Assays Reveal Catalytic Properties, Inhibition Constants and Cellular Location of Mucin‐Active Carbohydrate Sulfatases

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 30, 20 July 2026.
We report plate‐based coupled assays to rapidly and quantitatively determine the activity and selectivity of mucin‐active carbohydrate sulfatases. This fluorogenic assay further enables inhibitor identification and allows determination of (sub‐)cellular location. ABSTRACT Sulfated glycans play a central role in human health and influence cell signaling,

Dietary N‐Acetylserotonin offers protection against Shewanella putrefaciens infection in Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Shewanella putrefaciens is an important bacterial pathogen that poses a serious threat to Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) aquaculture. However, the protective effects of N‐Acetylserotonin (NAS) against S. putrefaciens infection in E. sinensis remain unknown.

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration

Conserved symbiosis‐associated genes in the cycad Encephalartos natalensis suggest co‐option for cyanobacterial symbiosis

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2168-2185, August 2026.
The heterocyst‐rich Encephalartos natalensis cyanobacterial zone in coralloid root suggests co‐option of conserved symbiosis‐associated genes. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/https://BioRender.com/n3qveqc). Summary Plant‐cyanobacterial symbioses have evolved independently at least four times across land plants, yet their underlying ...

Associations of Adiposity With Gut Microbiota Composition Among Adults—Results From a Federated Analysis of Individual Participant Data From Eight European Observational Studies

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota may contribute to the adiposity‐associated disease risk, but human studies reported inconsistent associations of adiposity with gut microbiota composition. We examined associations of body mass index (BMI) with alpha diversity and relative microbial abundance at the phylum and genus taxonomic levels (based on 16S rRNA amplicon ...
