The Chaetocerosphere: Chaetoceros Species and Associated Prokaryotes in a Coastal Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Chaetoceros species maintain recurrent distinct prokaryotic assemblages in their phycosphere. Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Archaea Thermoplasmata and Marine Group II are the most represented in the phycosphere. Bipartite networks highlight strong links between the diatom and specific prokaryotic taxa, especially the chain‐forming species ...

Characterization of Legionella Species from Watersheds in British Columbia, Canada

mSphere, 2017
Legionella spp. present in some human-made water systems can cause Legionnaires’ disease in susceptible individuals. Although legionellae have been isolated from the natural environment, variations in the organism’s abundance over time and its ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 17, Page 2547-2563, September 2026.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1637-1644, September 2026.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Legionella indianapolisensis sp. nov., isolated from a patient with pulmonary abscess

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background: To date, at least 50 species of Legionella have been described. These organisms are ubiquitous in nature and have been isolated from diverse ecological environments, including man-made structures such as cooling towers and spas.

Phenotypic expression of the gene‐for‐gene interaction in plant pathogenic bacteria: An implication for resistance to bacterial diseases by plants

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Plant pathogenic bacteria cause massive losses in agriculture and damage to natural plant habitats. Bacterial pathogens not only reduce crop production, but they also reduce crop quality by releasing toxins into the environment. Pathogenic bacteria that invade plant tissues must overcome the plant's defense mechanisms. Plants possess an innate

Unravelling the importance of the eukaryotic and bacterial communities and their relationship with Legionella spp. ecology in cooling towers: a complex network

Microbiome, 2020
Background Cooling towers are a major source of large community-associated outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease, a severe pneumonia. This disease is contracted when inhaling aerosols that are contaminated with bacteria from the genus Legionella, most ...

From Identification to Enzymatic Activity Profiling: Comprehensive Characterization of BloCAβ, a Probiotic β‐Carbonic Anhydrase From Bifidobacterium longum

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 9, September 2026.
Production and biochemical characterization of a new β‐carbonic anhydrase from the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum, one of the main players of human gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The microbiota comprises communities of microorganisms that establish complex relationships with the host and play key roles in physiology, metabolism, and immunity.
