SmallTalk: a novel small‐sized fusion tag for peptide expression and purification

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 461-473, March 2026.
The SmallTalk fusion tag allows for the efficient expression and purification of soluble recombinant proteins or peptides in Escherichia coli. Testing with SmallTalk‐GFP confirmed that the proteins were soluble and folded correctly, while SmallTalk‐Bin1b maintained its antimicrobial activity against various bacterial isolates. This streamlined workflow

Hydrazine Synthase From Anammox Is Inhibited by Linear and Aromatic Alkynes

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Linear and aromatic alkynes inhibit anammox in culture and in wetlands. The inhibition by alkynes is specific to the hydrazine synthase, a key enzyme in the anammox pathway. ABSTRACT N2O emissions by nitrifiers are often estimated using selective inhibitors, such as 1‐alkynes.

Model Investigation of Nitrification Inhibitor Effects on Nitrous Oxide Emissions From Manure Hotspots

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Manure application to cropland stimulates soil nitrogen transformations, and the uneven distribution of manure in the soil creates organic hotspots, which may cause extended pulses of nitrous oxide (N2O) and di‐nitrogen (N2) emissions. Amending liquid manure (slurry) with a nitrification inhibitor (NI) can reduce N2O emissions, but the ...

Natural variation of the wheat root exudate metabolome and its influence on biological nitrification inhibition activity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 4755-4772, November 2025.
Summary Excessive nitrogen use and low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in current agroecosystems are disrupting the global nitrogen cycle. Chemical inhibitors offer only temporary relief, while plant‐derived biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) remain safer but underexplored.

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology‐related research

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 473-493, October 2025.
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...
