Discovering PETases: An Interlink Between Engineering Enzymes and Microbiomes. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
In this review‐type article, we discuss some recent trends in the identification of polyethylene terephthalate‐degrading enzymes (PETases) from nature. We highlight that the discovery of novel PETases can be improved by an interlink between reshaping microbiomes and engineering proteins.

Freshwater Foraminifera Biodiversity in New England (USA): Evaluation of Field Sites and a Botanical Garden. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We explore trends in freshwater foraminifera richness and relative abundance across several low‐pH bog locations, including different ecological sites within each location, and from one established botanical garden habitat using a metabarcoding molecular technique. Our main findings confirm the relatively rare nature of freshwater foraminifera, and yet

The Structure and Composition of Plants in Habitat of Kantong Semar (Nepenthes spp.)

International Journal of Progressive Sciences and Technologies, 2022
The existence Nepenthes in its natural habitat has begun to be threatened with extinction due to several factors, namely by illegal logging, forest fires and forest land conversion. This study aims to determine the structure and composition of plants in the habitat of the semar bag (Nepenthes spp.).

Distribusi Nepenthes spp. di Hutan Kalampangan

Journal of Environment and Management, 2020
Kalampangan peat swamp forests in Central Kalimantan is home for Nepenthes spp. However, the number of Nephentes has been reduced due to massive forest fires and land conversion for housing and agricultural purposes. Nepenthes is a unique plant with ability to prey insects, hence often referred to as 'insectivorous plant'.

Foraminifera assemblages from Fantangisña serpentinite mud seamount in the NW Pacific Ocean during the Pleistocene (IODP Expedition 366)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 7, Page 1103-1127, October 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The Mariana forearc system, in the northwestern Pacific, is known as the only convergent margin setting with currently active serpentine mud volcanism. The Fantangisña serpentinite mud volcano lies 62 km west of the Mariana trench, within the influence of the North Equatorial Current (NEC).

Evergreen forest types of the central plains in Cambodia: floristic composition and ecological characteristics

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2022, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Current vegetation maps show evergreen forests of Cambodia as one homogenous forest type. However, ecological field studies in the central plains demonstrated a heterogenous mosaic of different evergreen forest types, each with a unique species composition and ecological characteristics.

Lords of the biosphere: Plant winners and losers in the Anthropocene

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 350-366, July 2022., 2022
The impact of humans on Earth's biodiversity varies across the Tree of Life. The extirpation and extinction of species is often determined by compatibility with human activities. Here we classify, where data are available, a significant portion (~30%) of vascular plant species as winners or losers with respect to this compatibility and show that ...

Arisaema: Pollination by lethal attraction

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 196-200, May 2022., 2022
Female individuals of the genus Arisaema are the only plants known to imprison their pollinators permanently. Their lethal pollination system has long attracted the interest of evolutionary biologists and naturalists. Nonetheless, the mechanisms of how Arisaema plants lure their victims to the brink of death are only just being unveiled.
