Successful Transmission and Isolation of a Fungal Pathogen From Wild Frogs to a Captive Amphibian Model Species: Fine Scale Pathogen Genetic Diversity and Infection-Induced Changes in Skin Bacteria. [PDF]
The isolation of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) from low‐load wild amphibians revealed multiple genotypes, including a potential hybrid, highlighting ongoing pathogen genetic mixing in natural environments. Additionally, Bd infection induced skin microbiome shifts in Hymenochirus boettgeri, demonstrating its utility as a model for studying ...

Biological Routes for Biohydrogen Production: A Clean and Carbon-Free Fuel. [PDF]
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Biological routes for hydrogen (H2) production are mainly classified into four pathways: 1) direct bio‐photolysis, 2) indirect bio‐photolysis, 3) photo‐fermentation, and 4) dark fermentation. Of these pathways, dark fermentation produces the highest levels of H2 production.

Microbial Communities of the Hydrothermal Scaly-Foot Snails From Kairei and Longqi Vent Fields
The microbial communities of the hydrothermal Scaly-foot Snails (SFSs) from independent hydrothermal vent fields have not been investigated in depth. In this study, we collected SFSs from two different hydrothermal environments located on the Central ...

Comparison of techniques to determine the abundance of predatory bacteria attacking chromatiaceae [PDF]
This work quantifies the number of bacterial predators attacking the population of Chromatiaceae in the hypolimnion of Lake Estanya to assess the potential role of these microorganisms in controlling phototrophic bacterial populations. The abundance of predators was estimated from total counts of infected prey cells and by counting plaque-forming units.

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology-related research. [PDF]
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...
