Thermodynamic Evaluation of Dual Substrate Growth

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 7, Page 1825-1835, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Various C₁–C₂ compounds are increasingly available through electrochemical reduction of CO2. Although not always suitable as a sole substrate, these compounds can supplement a primary substrate like glucose to enhance microbial growth. Yet, the mechanisms underlying the effects of dual substrate consumption on growth rate and growth yield ...

Investigation Into the Collection and Isolation Workflows of Extracellular Vesicles From Tears

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.
Sampling and isolation methodology shapes tear extracellular vesicle (tEV) composition, influencing housekeeping gene stability, tetraspanin expression, and cytokine levels. Contact lenses and Schirmer Strips provide complementary molecular signatures, while ExoQuick and ultracentrifugation differ in vesicle yield and surface properties.

Coumarins Disrupt Cell–Cell Communication and Virulence in Priority Pathogens: Targeting the PQS Signalling System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
The selective nature through which coumarin compounds produced by different species of plants target PQS signalling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and select for distinct phenotypic responses in key pathogenic organisms adds to the growing evidence of their utility as natural virulence suppressors. ABSTRACT Cell‐to‐cell communication in microbial systems is
