Atmospheric Ammonia Deposition: A Significant Source of Nitrogen to an Oligotrophic Lake and Its Watershed

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The increasing frequency of toxic cyanobacterial blooms (TCBs) in freshwater lakes in recent years has been problematic, both in terms of our understanding of basic drivers, and attempts to manage them. While phosphorus has been determined to limit the growth of blooms, some cyanophytes manufacture toxins with a high nitrogen (N) demand, so ...

Multi‐Organ Approaches to Cultivated Meat Biomanufacturing: Conceptual Applications of Ruminal Fermentation and Co‐Cultures

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Current academic research and industrial processes for cultivated meat production primarily utilize cultures of single cell types (monocultures) that do not capture the complexity of the in vivo environment of muscle and fatty tissues in the body.

Substrate Specificity and Allosteric Regulation of a d-Lactate Dehydrogenase from a Unicellular Cyanobacterium are Altered by an Amino Acid Substitution

Scientific Reports, 2017
Lactate/lactic acid is an important chemical compound for the manufacturing of bioplastics. The unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 can produce lactate from carbon dioxide and possesses d-lactate dehydrogenase (Ddh).

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Biomedical Research and Clinical Translation

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Bacterial membrane vesicle biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles (bEVs) are lipid (single‐ or double‐bilayer) nanostructures secreted by virtually all bacteria that play fundamental roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as powerful, multifunctional tools in biomedicine. Their intrinsic ability to encapsulate

Phosphorus Acquisition Strategies Among Phytoplankton and Free‐Living Bacterial Communities in the Baltic Proper

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Phosphorus is a key element for cellular functions and poses significant challenges for planktonic microbial communities under limited availability. Metagenomics highlighted that heterotrophic bacteria predominantly relied on phosphate scavenging while eukaryotic phytoplankton primarily utilized membrane remodelling to cope with limited phosphorus ...

Exploring the Diversity and Function of the SPFH‐Domain Containing Proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
We characterised nine SPFH‐domain containing proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 and found remarkable sequence divergence and scattered evolutionary distribution. Functional analyses showed that single or multiple deletions had no detectable impact on growth, motility, biofilm formation, stress resistance or virulence under laboratory conditions ...

Cold comfort for change: Stream mats as biological indicators of ecosystem processes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 261-292, April 2026.
Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...
