Major contribution of particle‐associated microbes to deep‐sea organic carbon degradation
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The biological carbon pump mediates the export of particulate organic carbon from the euphotic zone to the deep ocean, where it provides the base of the food web. Although deep‐sea microbial metabolism is considered to be largely associated with macroscopic particles, such as marine snow, the specific contribution of particle‐associated ...

Diversity and Evolution of Myxobacterial Type IV Pilus Systems
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Type IV pili (T4P) are surface-exposed protein fibers that play key roles in the bacterial life cycle via surface attachment/adhesion, biofilm formation, motility, and development.

Phylogeny‐Aware Metabologenomics Accurately Assigns Natural Products to Biosynthetic Gene Clusters
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.We report a statistical approach for associating biosynthetic gene clusters with their cognate metabolites and demonstrate its unprecedented power for scalable natural product discovery. Notably, it drastically reduces spurious associations by explicitly integrating the phylogeny of microbial producer strains.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.ABSTRACT Humulus lupulus L., commonly known as hop, is a perennial crop grown worldwide and is well known for its pharmacological, commercial, and most importantly brewing applications. For hundreds of years, hop has undergone intense artificial selection, with over 250 cultivated varieties being developed worldwide, all displaying differences in key ...

The non-flagellar type III secretion system evolved from the bacterial flagellum and diversified into host-cell adapted systems. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are essential components of two complex bacterial machineries: the flagellum, which drives cell motility, and the non-flagellar T3SS (NF-T3SS), which delivers effectors into eukaryotic cells.

Experimental warming alters free‐living nitrogen fixation in a humid tropical forest
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 2750-2763, December 2025.Summary Microbial nitrogen (N) fixation accounts for c. 97% of natural N inputs to terrestrial ecosystems. These microbes can be free‐living in the soil and leaf litter (asymbiotic) or in symbiosis with plants. Warming is expected to increase N‐fixation rates because warmer temperatures favor the growth and activity of N‐fixing microbes.

Farming System and Nematodes Affect the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Tropical Banana Plants
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.The banana crops showed a core microbiome of 77 ASV, mostly belonging to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacilli. Specific groups of bacteria and fungi were linked to each nematode species or feeding group, with a core microbiome of correlated taxa found only when considering nematodes by feeding groups.

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The cocultivation of microalgae in aquaponic systems can improve nutrient removal and enhance water quality. Moreover, it can promote the biological and physicochemical balance in aquaponic ecosystems. However, the bacterial communities in aquaponic systems have not yet been comprehensively characterized and the effects of microalgae cocultivation ...
