High‐Resolution Metabarcoding Reveals the Microbiome Dynamics of Mangrove Oysters (Crassostrea gasar) and Their Habitat

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The mangrove oyster (Crassostrea gasar) plays a key ecological role in Amazonian estuaries by filtering suspended organic particles, microalgae, phytoplankton, and bacteria, contributing to water quality and nutrient cycling. Its gut microbiota is shaped by complex interactions with the surrounding aquatic environment, reflecting the ...

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof‐of‐Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Two Different Tetracycline Resistance Mechanisms, Plasmid-Carried tet(L) and Chromosomally Located Transposon-Associated tet(M), Coexist in Lactobacillus sakei Rits 9 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Lactobacillus sakei is extensively used as functional starter culture in fermented meat products. One of the safety criteria of a starter culture is the absence of potentially transferable antibiotic resistance determinants.

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7939-7949, December 2025.
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Biological Role of Paenilarvins, Iturin-Like Lipopeptide Secondary Metabolites Produced by the Honey Bee Pathogen Paenibacillus larvae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus larvae (P. larvae) is the causative agent of a deadly honey bee brood disease called American Foulbrood (AFB). AFB is a notifiable epizootic in most countries and, hence, P.

Harnessing Camalexin as a Sustainable and Ecofriendly Strategy to Control Harmful Phytopathogens

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2463-2477, December 2025.
We review camalexin, a natural antimicrobial from Brassicaceae plants, which shows broad‐spectrum pathogen control and potential as an ecofriendly crop protection agent, with challenges and future directions. ABSTRACT Camalexin is a natural phytoalexin found in the Brassicaceae family, which has shown antimicrobial activity against diverse microbial ...
