Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Induction and Enhancement of Bacteriocin Production (Review)

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventionally, bacteriocins are produced by microorganisms on complex substrates, released as semi‐purified preparations or crude fermentates. These bacteriocin‐containing products often exhibit unsatisfactory purity, low active‐substance content, and high production costs, limiting their commercialization and use. This review aims to analyze

Identification of Putative Cellulose Synthase Gene xcsA2 Required for c‐di‐GMP‐Induced Biofilm Formation and Cell Aggregation in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is a widely used model cyanobacterium for diverse research fields and for bioproduction applications owing to its ease of cultivation, genetic modification, and ability to fix CO2. We found that a laboratory strain of S. elongatus PCC 7942 expressing the ydeH gene from E.

Scaffolding a Low‐Cost Experiential Bioreactor Module: Reducing Cognitive Load to Enhance Competency and Self‐Efficacy

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐cost experiential modules are critical for democratizing biotechnology education, yet most undergraduates lack hands‐on experience with continuous‐culture bioreactor operations, which are fundamental to industrial bioprocessing. This study employed design‐based research across two iterative cycles (Fall 2024, n = 8; Fall 2025, n = 11) to ...

Chicken‐linked multidrug‐resistant Campylobacter jejuni infections among Chinese children

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Campylobacter is a leading cause of pediatric diarrhea, but its genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance in China remain poorly defined. We conducted genomic surveillance of 3492 children with diarrhea in two pediatric hospitals in Zhejiang Province in 2017, 2018, and 2021, combining culture, whole‐genome sequencing, and source‐attribution ...

Different gut microbiome dysbioses impact the evolutionary fate of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

iMeta, EarlyView.
Transient exposure to ampicillin results in restructuring of microbiota to favor oxygen‐tolerant bacteria, whereas osmotic laxative perturbation preserves Bacteriodota. Ampicillin‐ but not laxative‐exposed environment favors establishment of rmpA phase variants that lost hypermucoviscosity but short‐chain fatty acids present in the laxative‐exposed gut

Effects of Glyphosate and Glyphosate‐Based Herbicides on the Mammalian Gut Microbiome: A Critical Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate has long been considered to pose negligible direct risk to mammals on the grounds that its molecular target, 5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase (EPSPS), of the shikimate pathway, is absent from animal cells. This rationale is inaccurate as a complete toxicological argument, because the shikimate pathway is present in some ...

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Natural Product Drug Discovery: From Computational Genome Mining to Clinical Translation

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural products (NPs) have historically yielded numerous therapeutic agents, yet their integration into modern drug discovery has been constrained by chemical complexity, low abundance, laborious dereplication, and limited target annotation.
