Enhancing anaerobic syntrophic propionate degradation using modified polyvinyl alcohol gel beads

Heliyon, 2020
Modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) beads serve as effective anaerobic microbe immobilization carriers. PVA beads were mixed with different conductive materials, activated carbon, magnetite, and green tuff stone powder.

Host Factor Induced Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Promote Horizontal Gene Transfer in Vibrio cholerae

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
Antimicrobial stressors, that is, bile or mitomycin C, induce enlarged, nucleic acid‐rich bacterial extracellular vesicles in Vibrio cholerae that facilitate horizontal gene transfer in vitro and during intestinal colonisation. The findings provide a detailed comparison of control versus stress‐induced vesicles, identify bile as a host factor shaping ...

Bioelectrochemical Stimulation of Electromethanogenesis at a Seawater-Based Subsurface Aquifer in a Natural Gas Field

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019
In subsurface anoxic environments, microbial communities generally produce methane as an end-product to consume organic compounds. This metabolic function is a source of biogenic methane in coastal natural gas aquifers, submarine mud volcanoes, and ...

Metabolism Controls the Timing of Human Brain Development and Maturation

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Among primates the human brain is the largest in size, exhibiting a higher neuronal density and connectivity. The prolonged expansion and subsequent connectome reorganization of the human brain have been suggested to promote higher cognitive and behavioral abilities.

Drivers of Microbiome Composition Among Helminth Parasites Sharing the Same Insectivorous Bat Host

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasitic metazoans are increasingly recognised to form close associations with microbial taxa. Under the holobiont concept, these associations are an eco‐evolutionary unit under joint selection. However, for most parasitic helminth species and particularly those associated with wildlife, these interactions and their effect on parasite ...

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 15, 17 April 2026.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

Advancement in Anaerobic Digestion for Scaling‐Up Biogas Production Through Food Waste Valorization

ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
The review article begins with an introduction that covers the overview, food waste (FW) classification, and the steps involved in producing biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD). Following that, it describes the process for producing biogas, including single‐, two‐, and multistage systems, mesophilic and thermophilic digestion, and wet and dry ...

Syntrophic Growth with Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer as the Primary Mechanism for Energy Exchange

, 2013
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) through biological electrical connections is an alternative to interspecies H-2 transfer as a mechanism for electron exchange in syntrophic cultures.

Diet‐Driven Divergence in Gut Microbiota Variation Between Two Sympatric Gerbil Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota provide various benefits to their mammalian hosts; however, knowledge regarding interspecific differences in gut microecology remains limited. This study employed 16S rRNA sequencing combined with metagenomic functional prediction (potential functions or functional potential) to conduct a comparative analysis of the gut ...

Direct interspecies electron transfer in anaerobic digestion: a review

, 2015
Direct interspecies electrons transfer (DIET) is a syntrophic metabolism in which free electrons flow from one cell to another without being shuttled by reduced molecules such as molecular hydrogen or formate.
