Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
The Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas isolates were tested for bioremediation applications. Genomic analyses revealed the potential to degrade complex organic compounds, potential virulence factors and resistance genes. Physiological assays showed a wide range of adaptation to abiotic factors and sensitivity to different groups of antibiotics ...

A Modular Biosensor Platform for the Detection of Plastic Monomers and the Engineering of Promiscuous Amidases Toward Challenging Substrates

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
A luciferase is used as biosensor for aldehydes, produced enzymatically from different monomeric building blocks of plastics like polyurethanes (PUs). The screening platform is used to monitor esterase, amidase, and urethanase activity and to guide the selection of enzyme variants with improved hydrolytic activities toward difficult to hydrolyze ...

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Complicated by Invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae Infection Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Report

Acute Medicine &Surgery, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
A rare case of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis complicated by invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae infection was successfully managed with veno‐venous ECMO. ECMO enabled timely whole lung lavage during recovery from septic shock, which yielded atypical yellowish‐brown fluid likely reflecting infection and led to clinical improvement.
