From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

High‐Resolution Community Profiling of Active Bacteria and Eukaryotes in Replant‐Diseased Blueberry Farm Soils From New Jersey, USA

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Long read bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomal operon sequencing combined with stable isotope probing (SIP) allowed the differentiation of microbiomes in low‐ and high‐yield blueberry farm soils. This report may ultimately be used to improve productivity and potentially detect the responsible pathogenic agent(s) or other deleterious microbes.

Inference of expanded Lrp-like feast/famine transcription factor targets in a non-model organism using protein structure-based prediction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Widespread microbial genome sequencing presents an opportunity to understand the gene regulatory networks of non-model organisms. This requires knowledge of the binding sites for transcription factors whose DNA-binding properties are unknown or difficult

An identity card for sabkha dolomite

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
An ‘identity card’ for modern sabkha dolomite from Qatar reveals its mineralogical, geochemical and microbial characteristics. This integrated dataset provides a benchmark for recognising similar dolomites in the rock record and for calibrating paleoenvironmental proxies used in climate and biosignature studies.

Genomic variation and biogeography of Antarctic haloarchaea

Microbiome, 2018
Background The genomes of halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) often comprise multiple replicons. Genomic variation in haloarchaea has been linked to viral infection pressure and, in the case of Antarctic communities, can be caused by intergenera gene ...

Characterization and Functional Evaluation of Carotenoids From Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Fractionation and comprehensive characterization of C50 carotenoids from Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2, identified all‐trans bacterioruberin as the predominant isomer. The haloarchaeal carotenoid exhibited strong antioxidant activity, photostability in oil and was biocompatible with human keratinocytes, highlighting their potential as sustainable ...

Diversity of FAAL enzymes and prediction of their substrate specificity using FAALPred

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract FAALs (fatty acyl‐AMP ligases) recruit and incorporate fatty acids during the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Their diversity, distribution, and substrate specificity remain poorly understood, which limits functional predictions from sequence data.
