Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Unveiling microbial guilds and symbiotic relationships in Antarctic sponge microbiomes

Scientific Reports
Marine sponges host diverse microbial communities. Although we know many of its ecological patterns, a deeper understanding of the polar sponge holobiont is still needed.

Role of human RNase 7 in neuronal and glial cell models: moving towards an unexpected new functional link

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human RNase 7 is known to exert antimicrobial activity in epithelial tissues. Here, using SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG, neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines, respectively, we found that RNase 7 enhances immune responses to LPS stimulation by reducing the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and ROS.

Bacteria of a feather floc together: Microbial interactions and function within iron-oxidizing bacterial communities

, 2023
The microaerophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria are highly charismatic, forming bright orange structures called iron mats in low flow creeks and streams, in road-side ditches, and marshes.

Innovative Field Applications of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Medicinal Plant Products for Disease Control in Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

An abundant bacterial phylum with nitrite-oxidizing potential in oligotrophic marine sediments

Communications Biology
Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) are important nitrifiers whose activity regulates the availability of nitrite and dictates the magnitude of nitrogen loss in ecosystems.

Short-cut nitrogen removal from high-strength ammonia wastewater in a sequencing batch biofilm reactor: roles of NO and its production mechanism

Frontiers in Microbiology
Nitric oxide (NO) is a key intermediate in the biological nitrogen removal process. However, its role and production mechanism is still not fully understood.
