Inactivation of the Burkholderia Toxin Malleicyprol by Enzymatic Cyclopropanol Ring Opening
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are dangerous pathogens that cause severe diseases with high mortality rates. Their virulence relies in part on malleicyprols, potent toxins containing a highly reactive cyclopropanol group. In this study, we identify BurK, a heme‐dependent oxidoreductase that neutralizes malleicyprols by enzymatically ...

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1785-1799, February 2026.Summary Oxygenic photosynthesis is driven by visible light in most photosynthetic organisms, with exceptions in a few cyanobacteria and microalgae species, which can extend the light absorption to far‐red (FR) wavelengths, by synthesizing new pigments or shifting the antennae absorption range beyond 700 nm.
