Virophages—Known and Unknown Facts
Viruses, 2023 The paper presents virophages, which, like their host, giant viruses, are “new” infectious agents whose role in nature, including mammalian health, is important. Virophages, along with their protozoan and algal hosts, are found in fresh inland waters and

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Herbicides are a valuable tool in agricultural ecosystems to manage nuisance species. Due to the reliance on herbicides for weed control, herbicide resistance is a growing concern. Herbicides are also used extensively in aquatic and natural systems, but the genetics and evolutionary dynamics of resistance are not as frequently incorporated ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Along temperature gradients such as elevation and latitude, species typically occupy distinct ranges, and life at the extremes may come with adaptive and non‐adaptive genomic changes. In the Brassicaceae family, comparative genomics revealed that geo‐climatic factors strongly predict genome size and transposable element (TE) content, explaining up to ...

Habitat Diversity Sustains Ecosystem Functioning in Plateau Arid‐Region Wetlands
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Habitat diversity underpins both biodiversity and functional biogeochemical processes in plateau arid‐region wetlands, thereby stabilizing ecosystem functioning. These functionally complementary habitats collectively drive critical ecosystem processes.

iMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.Microplastic‐induced gut microbial enrichment was dominated by bacteria within Eubacteriales, correlated with the virome, and accompanied by colitis. The polyamine synthetic pathway was activated to maintain glutathionylspermidine homeostasis, concurrent with decreases in pathways involved in the production of energy and reactive oxygen species under ...

Plastic Type and Condition Have Minimal Impact on Associated Marine Biofilm Communities
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.Plastics serve as a novel surface for microbial colonisation, yet their ecological functioning remains poorly understood. Here, we characterise microbial communities colonising plastic in the marine environment over time using a multi‐omics approach, highlighting previously reported plastic‐degrading taxa and the degradation potential within these ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 2819-2835, December 2025.Abstract Applying single‐cell genomics (SCG) to microbes is an excellent opportunity to study their genome structure, diversity and evolution. The interpretation of SCG datasets depends directly on the quality of sample preparation and data processing, which should be as universal as possible to allow comparison and synthesis of the outcomes.

A global characterization and identification of multifunctional enzymes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Multi-functional enzymes are enzymes that perform multiple physiological functions. Characterization and identification of multi-functional enzymes are critical for communication and cooperation between different functions and pathways within a complex ...
