Biochemical Responses of Anopheles spp. Larvae to a Novel Brazilian BR101 Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis Formulation: Oxidative Stress, Detoxification Enzymes, and Safety for Nontarget Notonectidae and Gerridae Aquatic Insects

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
Bti BR101 exhibits strong larvicidal activity against Anopheles larvae spp., with dose‐dependent mortality and LC50 of 3.13 µg/mL. Bti increases ROS, lipid and protein oxidation, and activates antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPx) and detoxification pathways (MFO and esterases), indicating moderate oxidative stress.

Conjugative Transfer of Disease‐Encoding Plasmid Variants in Serratia spp. Alter Production of Enzymes and Virulence Properties

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Analysis of plasmid transconjugants relative to plasmid‐free and plasmid‐carrying Serratia spp. demonstrates erratic disease phenotypes and reduced fitness. Transconjugants also show reduced ability to degrade substrates associated with virulence, supported by transcriptomic data.
