Soil salinity effects on pollen and pollinator visitation in a buzz‐pollinated glycophyte, Solanum carolinense

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Premise Human activity has significantly altered the salt cycle, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion acres of soil worldwide. Elevated soil salinity is a well‐known plant stressor, but it may also affect interactions between plants and insects, which are often sodium limited.

Mining for Novel Tryptophanase A: Extremophilic Organisms Ardenticatena maritima and Haloarcula japonica as Alternatives to E. coli in the Synthesis of Tryptophan Analogues

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Novel extremophilic tryptophanases (TnaAs) are tested in the synthesis of L‐tryptophan analogues. This study compares a thermophilic and a halophilic TnaA with E. coli TnaA as benchmark, from both structural and catalytic perspectives, revealing enhanced stability, and a broader substrate scope for the new homologues.

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

Scotty: lattice coincidences in the Protein Data Bank

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 824-835, July 2026.
Scotty supports crystallographic comparisons of lattice coincidences, the interpretation of oligomeric assemblies and paracrystallinity.The application Scotty, implemented within the Phasertng codebase, was used to perform a PDB‐wide analysis of lattice coincidences.

Production of Rhamnolipid using Moderate Halophilic Pseudomonas aeruginosa SH-6 isolated from a Saline Lake

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Biosurfactants are tensio-active, amphipathic biomolecules, which can reduce the surface tension of liquids. Synthetic surfactants are predominantly toxic, resistant to degradation, and exhibit narrow range of activity, whereas surface-active ...

Biotechnological potentials of halophilic microorganisms and their impact on mankind

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2022
Background Halophiles are extremophilic organisms represented by archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes that thrive in hypersaline environment. They apply different osmoadaptation strategies to survive in hostile conditions.

A Novel Polyphosphate‐Degrading Enzyme Confers Growth on Exogenous Polyphosphate in the Archaeon Haloferax volcanii

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
A novel polyP‐degrading enzyme with an activity differing from those currently known was found in Haloferax volcanii, conferring the ability for this microbe to grow on extracellular polyP. These findings further our understanding of the potential ecological roles of polyP and how archaea metabolise this essential biopolymer.
