Archaeal replicative primase mediates DNA double-strand break repair

Nucleic Acids Research
Abstract Archaea, often thriving in extreme habitats, are believed to have evolved efficient DNA repair pathways to cope with constant insults to their genomes. However, how these organisms repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), the most lethal DNA lesions, remains unclear.

Assessing Prokaryotic Benthic Communities in the Red Sea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Prokaryotic benthic communities in the Red Sea are shaped by depth, latitude, and oxygen availability. Deep‐sea communities exhibited low variance in OTU richness, while shallower communities showed higher OTU richness towards the Southern Red Sea. Extreme environments supported specialised microbial communities likely adapted to extreme conditions ...

Towards Functional Fertilisers: Feed Composition Shapes Microbial Community Structure and Viability in Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Frass

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Frass derived from black soldier fly larvae reared on various industrial side streams was investigated in both untreated and hygienised (1 h at 70°C) condition. Hygienisation efficacy was evaluated by determination of viable microbial counts, using both selective and non‐selective cultivation media.

Use of Microbial Biofilms to Assess Groundwater Quality in Karstic Ecosystems

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Analyses of prokaryotic diversity and community structures of biofilms showed variations linked to the nutrient and organic matter conditions in the studied karstic stations. Biofilms developed on artificial substrates appeared as promising indicators to assess groundwater quality in karst.

Diversity, Function and Activity of DNA Viruses in the Qiangyong Proglacial Lake Sediment, the Tibetan Plateau

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study identified DNA viruses from Qiangyong proglacial lake sediments on the Tibetan Plateau, revealing a highly diverse and previously uncharacterized viral community. These viruses influence microbial community structure and function by infecting key nutrient‐transforming taxa and encoding auxiliary metabolic genes that modulate host metabolism.

Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...

Nuclear DNA of plastid origin (NUPTs), neglected driver of genome variation and evolutionary innovation

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 3, February 2026.
Significance Statement Contrary to expectation, NUPTs do not necessarily have a deleterious or ultimately neutral impact, nor are they necessarily purged from the genome. Instead, they can proliferate and eventually become fixed, generating new and novel genes, gene regions and regulatory elements, thereby significantly contributing to plant nuclear ...
