Glycoside hydrolases enhance antibiotic activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms from cystic fibrosis airways

Microbiology Spectrum
Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms antibiotic-tolerant biofilms in cystic fibrosis (CF) lungs. Targeting exopolysaccharides such as Psl and Pel offers a potential strategy to disrupt biofilms and improve antibiotic efficacy. Fourteen clinical CF P.

Identification of resistance sources and genomic regions regulating spot blotch resistance in Asian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) via genome‐wide association study

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major yield‐limiting disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the warm, humid agroclimatic zones of South Asia. The development of resistant cultivars through molecular approaches offers a sustainable strategy for managing this disease.

Natural Products as the Modulators of Gut Microbiota: A Pool for the Development of New Treatment Against Obesity?

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Natural compounds regulate gut microbiota by improving microbial balance and increasing probiotics, which boost short‐chain fatty acid production to alleviate insulin resistance and inflammation. Additionally, they stimulate appetite‐suppressing hormones through bile acid signaling, while inhibiting pathogenic bacteria to repair intestinal barrier ...

Carbohydrate‐Based Drug Discovery: Synthetic Strategies and Clinical Applications

Israel Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 3, May 2026.
The picture depicts the molecules discussed in the review. On the left side, the general scaffold of sugars is shown. Next to it are four carbohydrate‐based molecules, including remdesivir, islatravir, empagliflozin, and Globo‐H. Remdesivir and islatravir contain a substituted ribose ring attached to a modified nucleobase.

Novel GH115 xylan α‐1,2‐glucuronidases with distinct preferences for xylan‐derived oligomers and polymers

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin‐dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's ...

Variation in the Number of Genes in the Secretomes of Isolates of Ilyonectria robusta and Ilyonectria mors-panacis Pathogenic to American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

Horticulturae
For 12 isolates of Ilyonectria mors-panacis and 4 isolates of Ilyonectria robusta, the number of genes in the secretome showed a negative correlation with growth rates in culture, especially for small secreted non-cysteine-rich and cysteine-rich proteins,

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection disrupts bile acid metabolism in the wild rodent gut microbiota: adaptive shifts in microbial metabolism and community structure

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionBile acids (BAs) are central to host–microbiota interactions, yet their metabolism in wild rodents remains poorly characterized. This study aimed to explore the genomic potential of gut microorganisms in wild rodents for BA metabolism and its

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2843-2857, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).
