Diversity and distribution of bacterial phytases

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Phytases: The stepwise dephosphorylation of phytate is catalyzed by phytases, a group of enzymes found mainly among bacteria and plants. Bacterial potential: We identified an unexpectedly widespread and previously underappreciated bacterial potential for phytate dephosphorylation, suggesting that microbial phytases play crucial roles in the ...

Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain Without Advanced Disk Degeneration Exhibit Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis: Evidence From an Age‐, Sex‐, and BMI‐Matched Pilot Study

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Chronic low back pain in patients without advanced disc degeneration is associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis, marked by reduced microbial diversity and altered bacterial composition. These findings support a gut–disk axis in which impaired gut barrier integrity and systemic inflammation may contribute to disc inflammation, nociceptive fiber ...

Predicted Functional Potentials of Bacterial Communities in Fermented Maize Products From Ghana, Nigeria, and Benin via 16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing and PICRUSt2

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Publicly available 16S rRNA data from West African fermented maize products were analyzed in QIIME2, profiled with SILVA 138, and functionally predicted using PICRUSt2, revealing Lactobacillus‐dominated microbiomes driving key metabolic pathways in carbohydrate utilization, amino acid metabolism, DNA replication, and cell wall biosynthesis.

Gut Microbiota Alterations Associated With Colonization by Multidrug‐Resistant Organisms in ICU Patients: First Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Microbiota profiling showed colonized critically ill patients had lower values of dominance/evenness (Simpson's index) and richness (Observed), reaching significantly lower values of information (mean difference in Shannon index = –1.18; 95% CI, –1.84 to –0.52; p < 0.001).

Clostridioides difficile infection is associated with differences in transcriptionally active microbial communities

Frontiers in Microbiology
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is responsible for around 300,000 hospitalizations yearly in the United States, with the associated monetary cost being billions of dollars. Gut microbiome dysbiosis is known to be important to CDI. To the best of

Fecal Microbiome Alterations in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review of Compositional Changes and Microbial Biomarkers

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Gut microbiome plays a crucial role in colorectal cancer development. The advanced sequencing techniques have the potential to complement current non‐invasive methods for early diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer. This includes conducting studies with robust statistical power and consistent, replicable methodologies, taking into consideration

Long‐term elevated precipitation promotes an acid metabolic preference in soil microbial communities in a Tibetan alpine grassland

mSystems
Alpine ecosystems store vast amounts of soil organic carbon but are highly sensitive to climate change. Despite this, the response of in situ soil microbial metabolic processes, especially carbon substrate utilization, to climatic shifts remains ...

Metatranscriptomics as a tool to identify fungal species and subspecies in mixed communities – a proof of concept under laboratory conditions

, 2019
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) enables the generation of large amounts of genome sequence data at a reasonable cost. Organisms in mixed microbial communities can now be sequenced and identified in a culture-independent way, usually using amplicon ...

Phylogenetic Profiling of the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Microbiome of an Afro‐Caribbean Population

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Illumina amplicon sequencing revealed diverse bacterial and fungal communities in chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and adjacent normal skin from Afro‐Caribbean patients. Corynebacterium striatum dominated both sites. DFUs had higher relative abundance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the antifungal‐resistant Candida duobushaemulonii, with significantly

Time-series metatranscriptomics reveals differential salinity effects on the methanogenic food web in paddy soil

mSystems
Saltwater intrusion and sea level rise (SWISLR) threaten coastal agroecosystems, yet their impact on the methanogenic food web in rice paddies remains virtually unknown.
