Water Soluble‐Nitrogenous Secondary Metabolites From Talaromyces annesophieae MD2 Exhibit Anti‐Bacterial, Anti‐Cancer, Anti‐Oxidant, and Cytoprotective Activities

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The dichloromethane extract (DCM‐E) was prepared from the culture supernatant of the fungus Talaromyces annesophieae MD2 was fractionated using chromatographic techniques. The subfraction 3 was determined to contain four major nitrogenous compounds and exhibit antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant, and cytoprotective activities.

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

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.

Global Carbon Investment in Terrestrial Biological Nitrogen Fixation

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) provides the N needed to produce proteins and other biological building blocks, helping feed humanity and mitigate climate change. Due to its high energetic cost compared to other forms of N acquisition, biotic investment in BNF indicates N limitation. Globally gridded BNF flux data provide an opportunity

Carotenoids From Amazonian Fruits as Functional Pigments in Active and Intelligent Food Packaging: Materials, Stability, and Technological Performance

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Amazonian fruits represent an underexplored source of carotenoids with high technological, functional, and economic potential for applications in food packaging. In recent years, active and intelligent packaging systems based on biopolymers and natural pigments have emerged as effective strategies for extending shelf life, monitoring food ...

Three Decades of Soil N2O Research—Insights and Gaps

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Progress in N2O Research and Key Breakthroughs and Transitions from 1990 to 2025 across three domains: (A) process understanding, (B) microbial ecology, and (C) modelling of soil N2O emissions. ABSTRACT Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) whose atmospheric concentration continues to rise, largely driven by nitrogen (N) inputs to ...

Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2942-2975, August 2026.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Global Population Structure and Dynamics of Wheat Powdery Mildew

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The global movement of pests and pathogens can often be traced to human migratory activities that include the movement of agricultural crops. The causal agent of wheat powdery mildew, the ascomycete fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (B. graminis f. sp.

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration

Conserved symbiosis‐associated genes in the cycad Encephalartos natalensis suggest co‐option for cyanobacterial symbiosis

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2168-2185, August 2026.
The heterocyst‐rich Encephalartos natalensis cyanobacterial zone in coralloid root suggests co‐option of conserved symbiosis‐associated genes. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/https://BioRender.com/n3qveqc). Summary Plant‐cyanobacterial symbioses have evolved independently at least four times across land plants, yet their underlying ...
