Engineering the substrate scope of the thermostable phenolic acid decarboxylase N31 towards sterically hindered phenolic acids

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Phenolic acid decarboxylases (PADs) convert bio‐based hydroxycinnamic acids into valuable hydroxystyrene monomers under mild reaction conditions. These compounds are in high demand in polymer production, cosmetics, and flavoring. Especially 4‐vinyl syringol, the decarboxylation product from sinapic acid, generates polymers with similar thermal

Soybean Bradyrhizobium spp. Spontaneously Produce Abundant and Diverse Temperate Phages in Culture

Viruses
Soybean bradyrhizobia (Bradyrhizobium spp.) are symbiotic root-nodulating bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen for the host plant. The University of Delaware Bradyrhizobium Culture Collection (UDBCC; 353 accessions) was created to study the diversity ...

The impact of physiological oxidants on triggering amyloid formation of the cell cycle regulator protein p16INK4A

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The tumor suppressor protein p16INK4a plays a key role in cell cycle control and is frequently inactivated in human cancers. We previously discovered that oxidation of its single cysteine residue induces a structural transition from the functional monomeric form into inactive amyloid fibrils.

The characterization of a new stabilized lactonase from the endophytic fungi Aspergillus pseudonomiae with anti‐bacterial and anti‐fungal properties

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Microorganisms use diverse small‐molecule signals to coordinate behavior, supporting interspecies and interkingdom communication. These chemical dialogs shape fundamental biological processes and define interactions from cooperation to antagonism.

Mechanisms of Resistance, Insights From Case Reports, and Future Prospects in Mycobacteriophage Therapy

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
Evolution of drug‐resistant mycobacterial infections warrants renewed efforts in identifying more efficient preventive and control strategies as well as alternative treatment options. Interest in phage therapy is regaining significant traction, especially in cases of failed conventional therapy.

Cryptic Lysogeny in Proteus mirabilis

Journal of General Virology, 1973
Summary Proteus mirabilis strains 13 and 5006 on rare occasions liberate temperate phages, 13M and 5006M, which may reinfect parent strains. These prophages are not inducible but the probability of phage liberation may be increased by growth in nitrosoguanidine. P. mirabilis strain 34 liberates a phage, φ34, spontaneously. Strain 34 is doubly lysogenic

Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Anti‐Phage Defence Systems

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Panoptes as an example for an antiphage system consists of OptS producing a cyclic dinucleotide that prevents activation of OptE, a transmembrane protein. Phage T4 infection introduces the sponge protein Acb2 that adsorbs the cyclic dinucleotide thus activating OptE which disrupts the cell membrane aborting phage infection.

Most of the Specific Genomic Regions of Agrobacterium fabrum Shape Phenolics Content of Medicago truncatula Roots

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Agrobacterium fabrum harbour seven specific‐gene regions, whose annotation indicates a close connection with plant. To evaluate their involvement in plant‐bacteria interaction, deletion mutant strains of each specific region were inoculated onto Medicago truncatula roots. Root phenolics content was influenced by them.

Fungicide Drives De Novo Evolution of Multidrug Resistance in the Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities underpin key ecosystem processes, including plant health, nutrient cycling and primary productivity. In agricultural soils, beneficial soil bacteria are often exposed to multiple stressors simultaneously, including fungicides, antibiotics, and warming temperatures. Despite their ecological importance, little is known

Nitric Oxide Tunes Secreted Metabolite Bioactivity

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 2, Page 145-160, August 2026.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces phenazine metabolites that can react with nitric oxide (·NO) to form nitrosylated compounds. The formation of these metabolites results in rapid loss in P. aeruginosa viability and diminishes phenazine antimicrobial activity against other organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus. ABSTRACT The radical nitric oxide (·NO)
