Plastic Type and Condition Have Minimal Impact on Associated Marine Biofilm Communities

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
Plastics serve as a novel surface for microbial colonisation, yet their ecological functioning remains poorly understood. Here, we characterise microbial communities colonising plastic in the marine environment over time using a multi‐omics approach, highlighting previously reported plastic‐degrading taxa and the degradation potential within these ...

Dimethyl sulfoxide-respiring bacteria in Suribati Ike, a hypersaline lake, in Antarctica and the marine environment [PDF]

, 2006
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) occurs worldwide, especially in marine environments as well as in lakes and rainwater. DMSO respiration by bacteria is assumed to play an important role in the sulfur cycle in Antarctica and on earth.

Distinct bacterial communities associated with the coral model Aiptasia in aposymbiotic and symbiotic states with Symbiodinium. [PDF]

, 2016
Coral reefs are in decline. The basic functional unit of coral reefs is the coral metaorganism or holobiont consisting of the cnidarian host animal, symbiotic algae of the genus Symbiodinium, and a specific consortium of bacteria (among others), but ...

The Microbiome of the Seaweed Cultivar Ulva compressa (Chlorophyta) and Its Persistence Under Micropollutant Exposure

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Despite reduced bacterial diversity due to cultivation and subsequent micropollutant treatment, key bacterial functions are retained, promoting macroalgal growth and morphogenesis. ABSTRACT The green macroalga Ulva demonstrates exceptional growth rates, robustness, adaptability and potential for nitrogen and phosphorus removal; thus, it is a promising ...

Antibodies against Marinobacter algicola and Salmonella typhimurium flagellins do not cross-neutralize TLR5 activation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Flagellins evoke strong innate and adaptive immune responses. These proteins may play a key role as radioprotectors, exert antitumoral activity in certain types of tumor and reduce graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell ...

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology‐related research

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 473-493, October 2025.
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...

A Screening Method for the Isolation of Polyhydroxyalkanoate-Producing Purple Non-sulfur Photosynthetic Bacteria from Natural Seawater [PDF]

, 2016
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of biopolyesters accumulated by a variety of microorganisms as carbon and energy storage under starvation conditions.

Microbial Considerations for the Permanent Geological Storage of CO2

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
The impacts of microbiology on the storage of CO2 are poorly understood but could be critical to its safe geological disposal. We review evidence for microbial risks and opportunities, and argue for a holistic biogeochemical approach to monitoring, managing and potentially harnessing microbial activity in geological storage operations.

Transcriptomic Analyses Unveil Hydrocarbon Degradation Mechanisms in a Novel Polar Rhodococcus sp. Strain R1B_2T From a High Arctic Intertidal Zone Exposed to Ultra‐Low Sulphur Fuel Oil

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Cold‐adapted Rhodococcus sp. strain R1B_2T from Arctic Tupirvik Beach (Northwest Passage) degrades short‐ to long‐chain hydrocarbons in summer seawater (−1°C to 5°C) via a synergistic activity of key hydrocarbon degradation genes (alkB, CYP153, almA, and ladA), with rhlABCR‐linked rhamnolipid production supporting biodegradation.
