Responses of Soil Microbial Community to Rocky Desertification Succession and Their Relationships With Plant Functional Diversity in Southwest China Karst Ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
During the succession of karst rocky desertification, soil bacterial diversity was directly influenced by both plant functional diversity and soil physicochemical properties. In contrast, soil fungal diversity was directly regulated by soil physicochemical properties and indirectly affected by plant functional diversity via the mediation of soil ...

Tradeoffs in hyphal traits determine mycelium architecture in saprobic fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The fungal mycelium represents the essence of the fungal lifestyle, and understanding how a mycelium is constructed is of fundamental importance in fungal biology and ecology.

Microbial‐Immune Interplay in CNS Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Animal Models and Clinical Studies

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mechanism of action of the intestinal microbiota on CNS autoimmune diseases. Environmental factors shape gut microbiota composition; dysbiosis alters microbial metabolites and antigenic signals. These modulate innate and adaptive immunity, affect barrier integrity, and influence CNS‐resident cells such as microglia and astrocytes, contributing to ...

Patulin Biodegradation by Rhodosporidiobolus ruineniae and Meyerozyma guilliermondii Isolated From Fruits

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study investigated the effects of incubation time and temperature, and initial patulin concentration on patulin removal rates, and the mechanism involved in patulin degradation by Rhodosporidiobolus ruineniae and Meyerozyma guilliermondii. The patulin degradation rate by the yeast strains was dependent on the three key parameters.

Uncovering Sequence and Structural Characteristics of Fungal Expansin‐Related Proteins With Potential to Drive Substrate Targeting

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 547-557, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Expansins loosen plant cell wall networks through disrupting non‐covalent bonds between cellulose microfibrils and matrix polysaccharides. Whereas expansins were first discovered in plants, expansin‐related proteins have since been identified in bacteria and fungi.

Fungi rather than bacteria explain home‐field advantage for decomposition of litter carbon fractions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 405-416, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The home‐field advantage (HFA) hypothesis proposes that specific interactions between litter and microbial communities can accelerate litter mass loss in home habitats relative to away habitats.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

A preliminary census of the macrofungi of Mt Wellington, Tasmania- the sequestrate species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This is the fourth and final contribution in a series of papers providing a preliminary documentation of the macrofungi of Mt Wellington, Tasmania. The earlier papers dealt with the gilled Basidiomycota, the non-gilled Basidiomycota and the Ascomycota ...

Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

Towards Functional Fertilisers: Feed Composition Shapes Microbial Community Structure and Viability in Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Frass

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Frass derived from black soldier fly larvae reared on various industrial side streams was investigated in both untreated and hygienised (1 h at 70°C) condition. Hygienisation efficacy was evaluated by determination of viable microbial counts, using both selective and non‐selective cultivation media.
