Antarctic soil microbiomes encode structurally conserved and phylogenetically diverse beta‐lactamases

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
An integrative metagenomic framework combining sequence, structural, and functional inference reveals a phylogenetically diverse and structurally conserved repertoire of putative beta‐lactamases across Antarctic soil microbiomes, with predominance of class A and subclass B3 enzymes and limited but detectable associations with mobile genetic elements ...

Briny Biology: Nematodes From the Hypersaline Springs of the Central Namib Desert

Ecology and Evolution
Hypersaline environments approach the physiological limits of metazoan life, yet the distribution, abundance, and community structure of animals in such systems remain poorly resolved. Nematodes, which possess remarkable stress tolerance and cryptobiotic

Binuclear Copper‐Dependent Oxidative Enzymes Involved in Fungal Natural Product Modifications

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This article summarizes recent biochemical characterizations of a new enzyme family named by the authors as binuclear copper‐dependent oxidative enzymes (BiNCOs). Found in fungal natural product biosynthesis, BiNCOs catalyze diverse CH functionalization reactions, including C(sp3)H halogenation, C(sp3)H hydroxylation, C(sp3)O macrocyclization, and ...

The effect of calcium and magnesium on the aggregation of a purple phototrophic bacteria mixed consortium

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND An essential aspect of applying Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) technology for wastewater treatment is the biomass separation from the aqueous phase. Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been used to enhance the aggregation of different biological matrices. In this paper, the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the aggregation of a mixed culture of PPB was

Total Immunoglobulin G Variation Through the Phenological Cycle of Migrant and Resident Lesser Long‐Nosed Bats (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) in the Drylands of Mexico and Its Relationship With Bacterial Killing‐Ability of Plasma

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bats have unique immunological characteristics among vertebrates. Understanding how the immune system responds during the life cycle of bat populations is crucial for grasping how their defenses against infection vary during critical life events.

Consumers' sensory assessments of bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) syrup give way to a promising artisan industry

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 113-124, March 2025.
Abstract Background Most pure maple syrup produced in North America is produced from the sap of sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum). Interest is growing to utilize other maple species in different regions of North America outside the native range of sugar maple.

Nutrient composition and heavy metal accumulation in water hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) from the Dande River, Nepal: Implications for use as alternative feed resources

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The proliferation of invasive aquatic macrophytes poses a significant ecological challenge globally, while many tropical regions face chronic shortages of affordable livestock feed. This study addresses this dual problem by assessing two invasive species, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes ...

From nature to nanoscale: advances, challenges, and preclinical translation of nanofiber drug delivery systems containing plant‐derived active ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the early 1960s, nanotechnology has been a critical area of science, allowing for the development of sophisticated nanomaterials. Nanofibers, one of the most widely used nanotechnological drug delivery systems, have emerged as a highly versatile platform within modern pharmaceutical sciences.
