Subcellular localization of the five members of the human steroid 5α-reductase family [PDF]

, 2017
In humans the steroid 5a-reductase (SRD5A) family comprises five integral membrane enzymes that carry out reduction of a double bond in lipidic substrates: D4-3-keto steroids, polyprenol and trans-enoyl CoA.

DNA Metabarcoding as a Tool to Study Plankton Responses to Warming and Salinity Change in Mesocosms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
To assess the impact of future climate change on Baltic Sea plankton communities, we conducted a mesocosm experiment manipulating temperature and salinity, using both microscopy‐based and DNA metabarcoding for plankton identification. Our results show that warming primarily influenced lower trophic levels, increasing community evenness and favouring ...

Variability in Microbial Community Composition and Function Between Different Niches Within a Coral Reef [PDF]

, 2016
To explore how microbial community composition and function varies within a coral reef ecosystem, we performed metagenomic sequencing of seawater from four niches across Heron Island Reef, within the Great Barrier Reef.

Tripled plant productivity and soil microbiome restructuring in a greenhouse volcanic ash fertilization experiment

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Volcanic ash is widely held responsible for fertilizing soils, but the processes and conditions leading to volcanic soil fertility remain poorly understood. We report here the results of a greenhouse volcanic ash fertilization (VAF) experiment aimed to explore the impact of basaltic ash addition (0–10 wt%) to soil on plant growth, nutrient ...

Harnessing Environmental DNA to Explore Frugivorous Interactions: A Case Study in Papaya (Carica papaya) and Pineapple (Ananas comosus)

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Simplified workflow of environmental DNA metabarcoding from fruits of papaya (Carica papaya) and pineapple (Ananas comosus). ABSTRACT Plant–animal interactions (PAIs) are critical in natural and agricultural ecosystems, mediating energy flow with both positive and negative interactions.

Omnivorous Diets of Sympatric Duck Species in a Subtropical East Asia Wetland Unveiled by Multi‐Marker DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The East Asian–Australasian Flyway (EAAF) is experiencing significant declines in migratory waterbird populations. Understanding the foraging ecology of waterbird species, particularly ducks, is crucial for monitoring and protecting their food sources and wetland habitats.

Motifs tree: a new method for predicting post-translational modifications [PDF]

, 2017
Motivation: Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are important steps in the maturation of proteins. Several models exist to predict specific PTMs, from manually detected patterns to machine learning methods.

Magnetite Nanoparticles Enhancing H2‐Driven Biomethanation in a Mixed Microbial Community

Global Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.
Supplementation of magnetite nanoparticles to a mixed microbial culture accelerates H2/CO2 biomethanation by up to 13‐fold. The observed enhancement is accompanied by a marked enrichment of Paracoccus sp., suggesting the establishment of a mutualistic interaction with hydrogenotrophic methanogens via interspecies electron transfer.

Ancient and novel small RNA pathways compensate for the loss of piRNAs in multiple independent nematode lineages.

PLoS Biology, 2015
Small RNA pathways act at the front line of defence against transposable elements across the Eukaryota. In animals, Piwi interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) are a crucial arm of this defence.

Taxonomic quasi‐primes: peptides charting lineage‐specific adaptations and disease‐relevant loci

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The identification of succinct, universal fingerprints that enable the characterization of individual taxonomies can reveal insights into trait development. Here, we introduce taxonomic quasi‐primes, peptide k‐mer sequences that are exclusively present in a specific taxonomy and absent from all others.
