Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Necessity of electrically conductive pili for methanogenesis with magnetite stimulation
PeerJ, 2018 Background Magnetite-mediated direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between Geobacter and Methanosarcina species is increasingly being invoked to explain magnetite stimulation of methane production in anaerobic soils and sediments.

ssRNA bacteriophage metagenomes reveal a diverse set of novel protein families
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The bacteriophages with single‐stranded RNA (ssRNA) genomes (class Leviviricetes) are among the simplest known viruses that encode only three core proteins: a receptor‐binding protein, a capsid protein, and an RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase. The number of isolated ssRNA phages has remained very low, but the accumulating RNA metagenome data have ...

Diversity and Evolution of Type IV pili Systems in Archaea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Many surface structures in archaea including various types of pili and the archaellum (archaeal flagellum) are homologous to bacterial type IV pili systems (T4P).

A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1595-1605, May 2026.Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Studies on the mechanisms for extracellular electron transfer in Geobacter species have primarily focused on Geobacter sulfurreducens, but the poor conservation of genes for some electron transfer components within the Geobacter genus suggests that there

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 5, Page 426-441, May 2026.We identify the long‐known virulence factor VirJ as a lysyl‐phosphatidylglycerol (L‐PG) hydrolase. Like the chromosomally encoded virulence factor AcvB, it prevents excessive accumulation of L‐PG in the membrane, thereby maintaining efficient T‐DNA transfer via the Type IV secretion system (T4SS) in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Chemo‐Enzymatic Route for Covalent Cellulose Fiber Dyeing
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 14, 15 April 2026.This work presents a proof of concept for a chemo‐enzymatic approach to the covalent dyeing of cotton fibers. Laccase/TEMPO oxidation introduces aldehyde groups, enabling subsequent reductive amination with amino dyes. Excellent color homogeneity and wash fastness were demonstrated using acid red 33, highlighting the robustness of the approach and its ...

Nature CommunicationsType IV pili are filamentous appendages found in most bacteria and archaea, where they can support functions such as surface adhesion, DNA uptake, aggregation, and motility. In most bacteria, PilT-family ATPases disassemble adhesion pili, causing them to
