Binding of Bacillus subtilis dynamin‐like protein DynA to the bacterial membrane is essential for effective phage defense

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1741-1753, March 2026.
The bacterial dynamin‐like protein DynA from Bacillus subtilis plays a key role in phage defense. It binds the plasma membrane through a unique paddle domain in its D1 subunit. This membrane association is essential for its protective function, likely preventing explosive membrane rupture following phage infection.

Introns as Protective Buffers Against Transposable Elements Invasion During Genome Gigantism in a Newt

open access: yesGenes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.
In the giant Pleurodeles waltl genome, introns serve as “structural buffers,” absorbing transposable elements (TEs) to protect coding exons. While this enables “gene body inflation,” persistent TE accumulation eventually leads to transcriptional silencing and functional collapse, or “burst,” of the gene architecture.

From bacterial predators to partners: phages in agriculture

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2729-2735, March 2026.
Summary Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are critical players for shaping the taxonomic and functional composition of plant‐associated microbiomes. Yet, their roles in plant health remain overlooked, along with their implications for sustainable agriculture.

The PtrC2H2.2‐6‐PtrCYP86A7/A8 Module Regulates Poplar Drought Tolerance Through Mediating Cutin and Wax Biosynthesis Pathways

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1428-1445, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The plant cuticle, composed of cutin and wax, is crucial for reducing non‐stomatal water loss and enhancing drought tolerance. CYP86A genes are key regulators of cutin and wax biosynthesis, yet the mechanisms controlling their expression remain unclear.

Reduction of Nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica in Broth and on Raw Chicken Breast by a Broad-spectrum Bacteriophage Cocktail

open access: yesJournal of Food Protection
Globally, nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) causes approximately 150 million foodborne illnesses annually; many of which are linked to poultry products. Thus, improving food safety interventions in the poultry sector can reduce foodborne illness associated ...

The Application of Recombinant Bacteriophages in Pathogenic Bacteria Detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
致病菌的快速、灵敏、特异性检测对食品质量监管、公共安全、环境卫生监测、细菌致病机理研究、疾病的诊断与治疗等具有重要意义。依靠各种生化反应的传统致病菌检测方法不仅操作复杂、检测周期长,且无法用于检测难培养的致病菌;而以抗原—抗体识别为基础的检测方法需要使用价格昂贵并难以获取的特异性抗体,限制了该方法的适用性。噬菌体是一类以细菌为宿主的病毒,广泛存在于自然界中,种类繁多,能够快速繁殖,对宿主菌具有良好的专一识别性。噬菌体基因组简单且易于改造,目前 ...
