Wood Hemicellulose‐Based Spray‐Dried Microencapsulation of a Lytic Bacteriophage Preserves Phage Viability and Improves Control of the Bacterial Wilt Pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wood hemicelluloses derived from the forestry industry can be used to microencapsulate lytic bacteriophages for storage and application. Phages targeting the global bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum were encapsulated in hemicelluloses that not only preserved them for long term storage but synergistically improved their anti‐Ralstonia ...

The Influence of Fire and Foliar Chemical Composition on the Diet of Southern Greater Gliders (Petauroides volans)

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding diet selection in threatened species is crucial for effective conservation planning, particularly where bushfires alter food availability and quality. In Australian eucalypt forests, Eucalyptus leaves are the primary food for several arboreal marsupials, such as the southern greater glider (Petauroides volans).
