Functional Diversity and Oleaginous Potential of Fungal Strains From Hawaiian Soil Ecosystems

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungi represent an important but underexplored resource for microbial lipid production, including nutritionally valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids. Hawaiian soils, shaped by volcanic parent materials and strong environmental gradients, provide a unique setting for discovering functionally diverse fungal strains with distinct metabolic traits.

Scaffolding a Low‐Cost Experiential Bioreactor Module: Reducing Cognitive Load to Enhance Competency and Self‐Efficacy

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐cost experiential modules are critical for democratizing biotechnology education, yet most undergraduates lack hands‐on experience with continuous‐culture bioreactor operations, which are fundamental to industrial bioprocessing. This study employed design‐based research across two iterative cycles (Fall 2024, n = 8; Fall 2025, n = 11) to ...

Reovirus infection results in rice rhizosphere microbial community reassembly through metabolite-mediated recruitment and exclusion

Microbiome
Background Microbial assembly plays a critical role in ecosystem function and biodiversity. While numerous studies have explored the effect of abiotic factors on the belowground community assembly, much less is known about the role of biotic interactions,
