Different structuring factors and distribution patterns of marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities in the subtropical Kuroshio region

Frontiers in Marine Science
To clarify the differences in the effect of environments on community structures and in distribution patterns between marine prokaryotes and microbial eukaryotes, microbial communities were investigated spatially and seasonally in the surface layer of ...

Improving the learning experience in an undergraduate course on microbial metabolism by using an illustrated story

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 131-141, March/April 2025.
Abstract In the classroom, metabolism is often approached and received as a mundane exercise in memorization. Teaching metabolism also faces the challenge of negative perceptions that can impede learning. We sought to improve the learning experience in an undergraduate lecture course on microbial metabolism by implementing an illustrated story that ...

Engineered immunostimulatory H2O2‐producing microreactors driven by yeast as localized living cancer therapeutics

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered yeast microreactors that produce H2O2 within tumors enable selective cancer cell killing while releasing immunostimulatory components, effectively suppressing local tumor growth and activating systemic antitumor immunity, with further efficacy enhanced by anti‐PD‐1 therapy and transarterial embolization.

Planktonic eukaryotes in the Chesapeake Bay: contrasting responses of abundant and rare taxa to estuarine gradients

Microbiology Spectrum
Phytoplankton are important drivers of aquatic ecosystem function and environmental health. Their community compositions and distributions are directly impacted by environmental processes and human activities, including in the largest estuary in North ...

Ketogenic diet fails to mitigate seizures and neuroinflammatory responses in a mouse model of virus‐induced epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate intervention widely used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, thought to reduce seizures through a combination of metabolic, neuronal, and microbiota‐dependent mechanisms. Additionally, recent studies suggest that the anticonvulsant effects of KD require the gut microbiota, with ...

Charting the landscape of cytoskeletal diversity in microbial eukaryotes

Cell
Microbial eukaryotes remain understudied despite their critical ecological importance, with the exception of a few established models. They are often small, difficult to culture, and resistant to standard labeling and imaging techniques. Here, we use ultrastructure expansion microscopy (U-ExM) to carry out high-resolution volumetric imaging of over 200

The Biogeography of Apicomplexan Parasites in Tropical Soils

Ecology and Evolution
Parasitic protists such as Apicomplexa, an abundant group of soil protists, contribute to ecosystem processes and nutrient cycling in belowground soil systems through their obligate symbioses with soil Metazoa.
