How Host Phylogeny, Diet, and Habitat Affect Gut Microbial Diversity in Wild Snakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Gut microbiota plays critical roles in host digestion, immune regulation, neurochemical signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Based on wild snakes (73 individuals from 23 species) from China, we explored the composition, characteristics, and functions of gut microbes across different groups using fecal metagenomic samples; further we explored the ...

Soil Microbiota and Rhizosphere Dynamics: Ecological Mechanisms Driving Crop Stress Adaptation in Climate‐Smart Agriculture

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐mediated abiotic stresses limit crop performance, and plant responses are increasingly recognized as emergent properties of the coupling between soil, plants, and microbiomes rather than inherent plant characteristics. This review synthesizes mechanistic evidence from 2020 to 2025 on how rhizosphere microbiota contribute to crop

Advancements in Mass Spectrometry‐Based Glycomics in Food and Nutritional Science

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 829-850, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights advancements in mass spectrometry (MS)‐based glycomics in food and nutritional science. Carbohydrates, which are vital for human health, exhibit complex structures, making their analysis challenging. MS has become an indispensable tool for elucidating the structures of carbohydrates, including glycans, through soft ...

Multi‐Omics Profiling of the Scaphoideus titanus Yeast‐Like Symbiont Guides the Bioinformatic Discovery of Related Fungal Symbioses in Insects

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Wheat Bran‐Derived Carbohydrates as Functional Food Ingredients: Extraction and Evaluation of Prebiotic Potential

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Wheat bran (WB) is a rich source of non‐starch polysaccharides, particularly arabinoxylans, which can be valorized into functional food ingredients with potential prebiotic properties. This study investigated the extraction of carbohydrates from WB using ultrasonic and hydrothermal treatments and evaluated their technological and functional ...

SACCHARIS: an automated pipeline to streamline discovery of carbohydrate active enzyme activities within polyspecific families and de novo sequence datasets

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Deposition of new genetic sequences in online databases is expanding at an unprecedented rate. As a result, sequence identification continues to outpace functional characterization of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes).

Functional metagenomic discovery and characterisation of CAZymes by microfluidic methods

open access: yes, 2022
Enzymes are the engines of life and the ideal reagents for efficient, sustainable biocatalytic processes. However, the compendium of currently known enzymes does not cater for all desirable activities or exhibit the required properties. Therefore, the discovery and thorough characterisation of new biocatalysts is imperative to smoothen the path for a ...

Telomere-to-Telomere Genome Assembly of Coprinellus disseminatus and Genomic Insights into Its Symbiotic Germination of Cremastra appendiculata Seeds

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
Cremastra appendiculata is a medicinally important orchid whose seed germination depends on fungal symbionts. Here, we present the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of the orchid mycorrhizal fungus Coprinellus disseminatus, comprising 15 ...

Clostridium butyricum and carbohydrate active enzymes contribute to the reduced fat deposition in pigs

open access: yesiMeta
Pig gastrointestinal tracts harbor a heterogeneous and dynamic ecosystem populated with trillions of microbes, enhancing the ability of the host to harvest energy from dietary carbohydrates and contributing to host adipogenesis and fatness.
