Prediction of protein architectures involved in the signaling-pathway initiating sporulation in Firmicutes

BMC Research Notes, 2019
Objectives Like many other proteins, those belonging to the signal transduction cascade initiating sporulation (Spo0 pathway) have conserved protein domains (Capra and Laub in Annu Rev Microbiol 66:325–47, 2012).

Protoplasting and Transformation Using CRISPR/Cas9 in Coccidioides

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Coccidioides posadasii and C. immitis are human fungal pathogens endemic to the American Southwest. C. posadasii and C. immitis are the causative agents of coccidioidomycosis, or Valley fever. They are pathogens of growing concern, as reported cases of coccidioidomycosis have increased 20‐fold in the last two decades.

Micrococcus endophyticus strain WH16 oxidizes elemental sulfur in sodic soil: Effect on soil properties and crop performance

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Micrococcus endophyticus is a heterotrophic, plant growth‐promoting endophyte that thrives within the inner tissues of various plants. This study presents the first report on the elemental sulfur (S°) oxidation potential of the M. endophyticus strain WH16, isolated from high sodic soils.

Can Organic Amendments Override Environmental Filtering of Soil Microbiomes? Evidence From 20 Years Old Agricultural Field Trials in Contrasting Tropical Sites

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Across four long‐term Kenyan maize trials, site was the dominant driver of microbial community composition and N‐cycling gene abundance. Among organic amendments, farmyard manure most strongly enriched copiotrophic taxa and raised prokaryotic diversity.

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3159-3175, September 2026.
Ancient origin and recurrent evolution of desiccation tolerance in the green lineage. Summary Water is essential for life on Earth, yet some plants can survive the near‐complete loss of cellular water, a trait known as desiccation tolerance. Although rare in vegetative tissues of vascular plants, desiccation tolerance is scattered across the plant ...
