Biochemical Profile and Antifungal Activity of Endophytic Bacteria From Roots of Piper nigrum L. (Piperaceae) Against Phytopathogenic Fungi

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneficial endophytic bacteria may confer advantages to their host plants and to the environment by pathogen control, while reducing pesticide use. The aim of this work was to determine the biochemical profile and antifungal activity of endophytic bacteria from black pepper roots against Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis, F.

Epidemiology of Burkholderia cepacia Complex in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
The Burkholderia cepacia complex is an important group of pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Although evidence for patient-to-patient spread is clear, microbial factors facilitating transmission are poorly understood.

Integrated Evaluation of the Multifunctional Bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Insecticidal, and Postharvest Effects on Fresh Ginger

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Multifunctional bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria essential oil. ABSTRACT Plant‐derived essential oils are increasingly investigated as sustainable alternatives for food preservation and crop protection; however, their multifunctional applicability under postharvest conditions remains insufficiently explored.

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 8, Page 1529-1540, August 2026.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

Thioredoxin Reductase as a Target for Antibacterial Gold Compounds in Burkholderia cenocepacia: Disclosing the Molecular Basis of Enzyme Inhibition

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
The molecular basis of thioredoxin reductase inhibition by antibacterial gold(I) compounds is disclosed. X‐ray crystallography and high‐resolution ESI‐MS reveal selective gold coordination to catalytically relevant cysteine residues of Bc‐TrxR, leading to stable protein–gold adducts and disruption of enzyme redox activity.
