Drivers of Soil Community Composition in Apple Orchards: Insights From Environmental Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Despite uniform management practices, single orchards of the 26 studied had only a small part of total diversity of prokaryotes, protists and fungi. Community assembly was governed primarily by stochastic processes and turnover dominated community composition for all organismal groups. ABSTRACT Soil biodiversity in apple orchards plays a vital role for

Vegetation Shifts in Boreal Ombrotrophic Peatlands Following Road Construction

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
Permanent roads crossing boreal ombrotrophic peatlands drive a shift in plant community composition within 25–75 m of the infrastructure, with losses of Sphagnum mosses, lichens, and the expansion of shrubs. Mineral enrichment from road dust, deicing salts, and construction materials may be the main driver of these changes, potentially threatening the ...

Free-living amoebae (FLA): detection, morphological and molecular identification of Acanthamoeba genus in the hydraulic system of an haemodialysis unit in Tunisia

Parasite, 2008
The free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous and opportunistic protozoa. They can induce human and animal diseases. The aim of our study was to detect the FLA and Acanthamoeba genus in the hydraulic system of an hemodialysis unit.

A Review of Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs for Food‐Producing Animals With a Focus on Potential Applications for Farmed Finfish

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In finfish aquaculture, there are several inflammatory diseases impacting productivity and animal welfare, however there are limited options available to veterinarians to treat inflammation and pain in fish. Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in terrestrial animals raised for human consumption to treat a range of ...

Amoebae: beyond pathogens- exploring their benefits and future potential

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Amoebae, fascinatingly diverse protists, showcase a dual nature that positions them as both friends and foes in our world. These organisms, defined by their distinctive pseudopodia, span a spectrum from harmful to helpful.

Combating resilient Acanthamoeba castellanii cysts: Ultrasonic frequency-dependent effects on viability and excystment

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are significant environmental reservoirs for numerous pathogenic microorganisms. These protists exhibit remarkable resilience, often evading biocides due to their ability to form highly resistant dormant cysts under unfavorable ...
