Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Direct Conversion of Minimally Pretreated Corncob by Enzyme-Intensified Microbial Consortia

Agriculture
The presence of diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) is crucial for the direct bioconversion of lignocellulose. In this study, various anaerobic microbial consortia were employed for the degradation of 10 g/L of minimally pretreated corncob. The

Diversity of Pharmaceuticals Enhances Antibiotic Resistance in the Invertebrate Gut via Biofilm‐Mediated Mechanisms

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Pharmaceutical diversity acts as an independent driver of antibiotic resistance in soil invertebrates. While bulk soil remains unaffected, the collembolan gut microbiome exhibits significant resistance gene enrichment under complex chemical exposure and diurnal warming.

Insights into Metatranscriptome, and CAZymes of Buffalo Rumen Supplemented with Blend of Essential Oils

Indian Journal of Microbiology, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the rumen microbial diversity and functionality in buffaloes fed with a blend of essential oils (BEO) using LSD switch over design. The BEO consisting of blend of Trachyspermum copticum (Ajwain) oil, Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) oil and Syzygium aromaticum (clove bud) oleoresin mixed in equal proportion ...

Proteome‐Wide Prediction of Putative Bemisia tabaci Effector Candidates and Transient Validation of BtApe‐Mediated Suppression of Tomato Immune Responses

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.
The workflow illustrates the process of identifying and preliminarily validating the functionality of effectors in Bemisia tabaci. The proteome of B. tabaci served as the initial input for a multiparameter effector prediction pipeline, which integrates secretory features, subcellular targeting predictions, and parallel computational tools to generate a

dbCAN-HGM: CAZyme gene clusters in gut microbiomes of diverse human populations. [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Res
Abstract CAZymes (Carbohydrate Active EnZymes) play key metabolic functions in human gut microbiomes (HGM). Genes of glycan degrading CAZymes often form physically linked CAZyme Gene Clusters (CGCs) in gut bacterial genomes. Here we developed dbCAN-HGM (https://pro.unl.edu/dbCAN_HGM), a comprehensive data repository for human gut ...
