Extremophilic microorganisms usually inhabit extreme ecosystems and show optimal growth under extreme conditions. Extreme conditions are defined as those far from the optimal conditions for human life. Thus, ecosystems that present very low or high temperature, pH values, or radiation index, habitats containing a NaCl concentration higher than 1.0 M ...

Forest management affects microbial community composition depending on forest type. Vegetation type has the strongest effect on microbial composition, while management alters community structure without affecting function, highlighting the importance of vegetation in forest soil ecosystem dynamics.

Molecular analysis of the early interaction between the grapevine flower and Botrytis cinerea reveals that prompt activation of specific host pathways leads to fungus quiescence [PDF]
Grape quality and yield can be impaired by bunch rot, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Infection often occurs at flowering, and the pathogen stays quiescent until fruit maturity.

Relative Humidity Influences Aureobasidium pullulans Degradation of Polyester Polyurethane Foam
The plant pathogen Aureobasidium pullulans' ability to degrade polyurethane foam is impacted by Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH). These impacts can be observed through foam weight loss, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fungal growth, and cutinase gene expression.

Vomocytosis: Too Much Booze, Base, or Calcium? [PDF]
Macrophages are well known for their phagocytic activity and their role in innate immune responses. Macrophages eat non-self particles, via a variety of mechanisms, and typically break down internalized cargo into small macromolecules.

Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as
