The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1656-1676, April 2026.Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3773-3785, April 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Phenolic extracts are recognized for their health‐promoting properties, although some physicochemical characteristics limit their food applications. The present study aimed to valorize orange juice by‐products through enzymatic and hydroalcoholic extraction to obtain flavonoid ingredients and to evaluate their application in pectin ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.Eighty‐four endophytic bacteria from cassava were assessed for antagonistic activity against phytopathogens Colletotrichum siamense, Colletotrichum sublineola and Phytophthora infestans infecting cassava, sorghum and potato, respectively. Fourteen endophytic bacteria exhibited antifungal activity against the three phytopathogens, of which four ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.Seagrass Posidonia oceanica seeds host diverse bacterial and fungal endophytes with plant‐growth–promoting traits, including nitrogen fixation and hormone production. These microbes may be vertically transmitted and support seedling establishment, offering insights for marine plant conservation and biotechnological applications.

Improving inter-fiber bonding by cellulase under a high surface lignin level
Results in Surfaces and InterfacesLignin is behaving negatively in cellulase hydrolysis, leading to the high cost of cellulase in many areas. Instead of removing lignin, the fiber surface composition was changed in structure and distribution in this work through a light mechanical ...

Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3523-3531, April 2026.This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...

A new approach to measurement of saccharifying capacities of crude cellulase
BioResources, 2006 A practical, quantitative approach has been designed, which makes it possible to accurately estimate the saccharifying activities of crude cellulase preparations for insoluble cellulosics.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Compost derived Bacillus isolates were screened for plant growth promoting traits, scored through modelling and validated in field trials on maize and okra. Selected strains enhanced growth significantly, enabling reduced chemical fertiliser use, ecofriendly bioinputs and improved soil health.
