Direction of Chain Growth and Substrate Preferences of Shape, Elongation, Division, and Sporulation-Family Peptidoglycan Glycosyltransferases

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
The bacterial cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan, and its biosynthesis is an established target for antibiotics. Peptidoglycan is assembled from a glycopeptide precursor, Lipid II, that is polymerized by peptidoglycan glycosyltransferases into glycan strands that are subsequently cross-linked to form the mature cell wall.

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Biomedical Research and Clinical Translation

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Bacterial membrane vesicle biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles (bEVs) are lipid (single‐ or double‐bilayer) nanostructures secreted by virtually all bacteria that play fundamental roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as powerful, multifunctional tools in biomedicine. Their intrinsic ability to encapsulate

The Prebiotic and Techno‐Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments

open access: yesAPMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 243-251, February 2026.
Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Expanding Horizons in Phage Therapy: Addressing Antibiotic Resistance in Aquaculture

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has emerged as a cornerstone of global food security, yet its rapid intensification has precipitated widespread bacterial disease outbreaks and escalating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This review critically examines the limitations of conventional antibiotic use in aquaculture, highlighting regulatory inconsistencies ...

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation

open access: yesiMeta, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

Structured Promoter Variability in Epigenetically Regulated Operons Contributes to Surface Adaptation in Salmonella

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
We discovered that Salmonella uses structured, recurrent variation in epigenetically regulated promoter regions to fine‐tune gene expression, revealing a novel evolutionary strategy for surface adaptation. ABSTRACT Bacterial adaptation to dynamic and hostile environments often relies on the ability to modify surface structures, which are subjected to ...

Listeria monocytogenes—Can We Reduce or Eliminate It From Food Commodities?

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2026.
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis. Traditional control methods include heat treatment, high‐pressure processing, irradiation, and acidification, all aimed at reducing bacterial load in foods. Emerging strategies include gene expression, CRISPR‐Cas9, bacteriophage, competitive exclusion via beneficial microbes ...
