Mining Actinomycetes' Metabolomes and Genomes for Anti‐Phytophthora infestans Compounds

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
Using a comparative metabolomic and genomic approach on 63 actinomycetes, this study identified 75 compounds associated with the strains' ability to inhibit the late blight‐causing agent Phytophthora infestans. This study highlighted the promise of applying multi‐omics techniques on closely related strains differing in biological activity to pinpoint ...

Host Diet Preference Drives Diversity and Composition of Gut Microbiota in Captive Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We have quantified gut microbiota composition of 36 bird species representing 15 orders to analyse determinants of diversity and variability patterns among host species. We found that host phylogeny only had limited influence on GM diversity and composition.

Impacts of polyethylene microplastics on the performance and mechanism of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) degradation by two ecotype earthworms

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a ubiquitous agricultural plasticizer, readily leaches into soils. Earthworm-mediated DEHP biodegradation and microplastics (MPs) co-contamination effects on vermicomposting remain uncharacterized. This study evaluated

Improvement of subsoil physicochemical and microbial properties by short-term fallow practices [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Fallow management can improve the soil nutrients in the topsoil and upper subsoil. However, little is known about the effects of short-term (one year) fallowing with different treatments, such as vegetation and fertilization, on subsoil (20–40 cm ...

Divergent Response of Host‐Specific Driven Gut Microbial Stability in Freshwater Gastropods to Cyanobacterial Blooms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
In this study, two freshwater gastropods (Bellamya aeruginosa and Pomacea canaliculata) were used as controls to study the differences in the effects of cyanobacteria on their gut microbial communities in ponds with the absence of cyanobacterial blooms. Cyanobacterial blooms cause distinct differences in the diversity, community structure, and assembly

Flood‐Driven Microbial Resurgence: Functional Shifts and Beneficial Taxa in Post‐Flood Agricultural and Residential Soils in Bangladesh

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2025.
Flooding in Bangladesh increased microbial diversity and introduced 29 beneficial taxa, including nitrogen fixers and phosphate solubilizers, enhancing soil recovery. Unique flood‐adapted microbes like Sulfuricurvum sp. emerged, highlighting flooding's role in reshaping microbial communities for agricultural resilience.

Soil Properties Induced Changes in the Microbial Communities Associated With Potato Tubers Grown in Different Lowland Fields of Northern Thailand

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2025.
Microbial communities on potato tubers in northern Thailand were studied with 16S and ITS amplicon sequencing. It was found that soil pH and organic matter are key drivers of bacterial and fungal composition, affecting the balance between pathogens and beneficial microbes.

Lysobacter aestuarii sp. nov., isolated from estuary sediment

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2016
A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile bacterium, designated strain S2-CT, was isolated from an estuary sediment in South Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Cells were catalase- and oxidase-positive rods without gliding motility.

The Role of Phyllosphere Microbes and Viruses in Biocontrol of Pathogenic Fungi

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
Foliar microbiota employ multiple ecological strategies to inhibit fungal pathogens in the phyllosphere, including resource competition, production of antifungal metabolites, contact‐dependent killing, modulation of plant innate immunity and mycovirus‐mediated suppression.
