Natural Lactone‐Based Quorum Sensing Inhibitors Attenuate Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Targeting bacterial communication, lab‐generated lactones (Lx) inhibited biofilm formation and eliminated mature biofilms within 24–48 h. Lx treatment also suppressed pyocyanin and rhamnolipid production while downregulating rhlR expression, highlighting their promise as potent quorum‐sensing (QS) inhibitors and next‐generation antibiofilm therapeutics.

Protein‐Stabilized Copper Nanoclusters for Microbial Inhibition‐Enabled Fresh Produce Preservation and Pesticide Removal

cMat, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Biocompatible bovine serum albumin‐stabilized copper nanoclusters (Cu@BSA NCs) were engineered to integrate potent antimicrobial activity with efficient pesticide adsorption. The dual mechanism, involving Cu species/ROS‐mediated microbial inactivation and BSA‐facilitated pesticide capture, enables simultaneous extension of fresh produce shelf‐life by ≥

Genome‐Resolved Insights Into Phosphate‐Solubilizing Bacteria From Wild Rice Rhizosphere Reveal Adaptive Strategies for Phosphorus Cycling Under Acid‐Saline Stress in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study aimed to isolate phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from the rhizosphere of wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) and to investigate their functional traits and genomic basis of adaptation. Genomic analysis of Enterobacter hormaechei GC1.3 identified key genes involved in phosphate mobilization, including gcd and pqqC (organic acid production ...

Whole Wheat Flour Components Intervention Against Lead Toxicity: Impacts on Metal Bioavailability and Protection of the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Consumption of whole wheat flour promotes lead excretion, yet the functional components reducing lead bioavailability and their protective mechanisms remain unclear. To identify these components and to validate whether their mechanism is related to protection of the intestinal barrier, this study established an in vitro model combining ...
