Experimental, Genomic, and Structural Evidence Supporting Putative PET‐Hydrolases in Thermophilic Bacteria Isolated From Hot Springs in Cajamarca, Peru

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Integrated microbiological, genomic, and structural analyses of bacteria isolated from a Peruvian geothermal system reveal enzymatic potential for the transformation of polyesters such as PET. This study links experimental evidence with genomic determinants and in silico analyses that support the thermophilic bacteria biodegradation capacity.

Characterisation of a cold‐adapted, thermostable glucokinase from psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 reveals how the enzyme achieves high thermal stability without loss of cold adaptation

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2617-2636, May 2026.
We investigated glucokinase from the psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 (PsGK), which was isolated from the Antarctic Ocean. Biochemical studies revealed that PsGK is a cold‐adapted enzyme with high thermal stability, in contrast to general cold‐adapted enzymes, which have low thermal stability.

Pulsed Electric Fields for Emerging Single‐Cell Bioprocessing in Food Applications: Electropermeabilization Mechanisms and Design Principles

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This review evaluates pulsed electric fields (PEF) as an emerging platform for single‐cell bioprocessing in food applications. Connections are drawn between key mechanisms in electropermeabilization and applications, and a practical PEF process design framework is provided.

Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Mining Thermophile Genomes for New PETases with Exceptional Thermostabilities Using Sequence Similarity Networks

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 12, June 16, 2025.
Targeted genome mining identified thermostable enzymes (PETases) that hydrolyze the commonly used plastic polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Thermostable enzymes are identified from thermophilic microbial sources. Experimental results reveal enzymatic activity on authentic PET films, highlighting potential for industrial application.
