Characterization of a cold-adapted and salt-tolerant exo-chitinase (ChiC) from Pseudoalteromonas sp DL-6

, 2016
We have previously reported a non-processive endo-type chitinase, ChiA, from a newly isolated marine psychrophilic bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas sp. DL-6.

Beneath the Drought: Rhizosphere Processes Shape Genotype‐Specific Sorghum Responses to Drought‐Induced N Limitation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Droughts increasingly threaten crop productivity in nutrient‐depleted tropical soils. We investigated how water limitation influences rhizomicrobial traits (microbial biomass and functional community composition, enzyme activities) and nitrogen (N) uptake in three sorghum genotypes Makueni local (Mkl), Gadam (Gd), and IESH 22012 (IESH) under ...

Harnessing benzamides as plant stress inhibitors, growth promoters and in management of crop resilience—A review

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...

Preparation and Characterization of Chitinase from Marine Bacteria Aeromonas sp. YS-54

Shipin gongye ke-ji
To achieve efficient degradation of crustacean raw materials and eco-preparation of N-acetyl-oligosaccharides, YS-54 strain screened from offshore soil in Qingdao was used for chitinase preparation in the present study. Chitinase was prepared through 60%

Strawberry micropropagation simplifies endomicrobiome and highlights potential for in vitro biotization with beneficial rhizobacteria

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Prolonged in vitro micropropagation reshaped the strawberry endomicrobiome, reducing bacterial diversity and community complexity. Biotization with selected plant growth‐promoting bacteria partially compensated for these changes by improving plant performance and acclimatization, supporting microbiome‐assisted approaches for tissue culture systems ...

Persisting Region‐Specific Microglia Activation and Synaptic Imbalance During Remission in a DSS‐Induced Colitis Model

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 11, November 2026.
Relapsing colitis region‐specific microglial states beyond remission. Cortical microglia remain pro‐inflammatory and synapse‐disruptive, while hippocampal microglia shift toward a reparative program that maintains neuronal circuit stability. ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients experience cycles of active gut inflammation and remission, with ...

Characterization of carABpyrB operon and role of pyrE in Francisella novicida biofilm

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Pyrimidine biosynthesis links metabolism to biofilm regulation in Francisella novicida. During nutrient limitation, reduced pyrimidine availability shifts metabolism from uracil salvage to de novo synthesis, increasing biofilm formation. Mutants in carABpyrB exhibit uracil‐dependent growth defects and elevated biofilm:growth ratios, revealing ...

Application of Omics Technologies for Cowpea Improvement

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital crop for food security, nutrition, and climate resilience in sub‐Saharan African and other semi‐arid regions. However, its improvement is constrained by the complexity of polygenic traits such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, and seed quality.

Transgenic Mixed‐Linkage‐Glucan Enhancement Affects Root Characteristics and Decomposition in Soils of Contrasting Vegetation History

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Incubations with fine and coarse roots of transgenic and wild type bioenergy sorghum showed that transgenic roots had higher content of mixed‐linkage glucan and resulted in greater soil microbial biomass than the roots of the vector control plants.
