Investigating GERMs: how genotype, environment, and rhizosphere microbiome interactions underlie heat response in maize and sorghum

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2152-2167, August 2026.
Three genotypes – a heat‐resistant maize (Zea mays), a heat‐susceptible maize, and a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) variety – were grown to the V4 stage in growth chambers under optimal conditions or subjected to heat stress. Plants were grown in soil containing a complex microbial community, or in the same soil with a depleted microbiome.

Primary productivity coupled to oxic methane production in coastal waters of southern China

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Oxic methane (CH4) production (OMP) occurs in diverse oxygenated surface waters worldwide. However, phytoplankton‐driven OMP in natural marine environments remains poorly documented. During a research cruise in the highly productive southern East China Sea, we measured OMP by incubating phytoplankton‐rich surface waters and found that CH4 ...

Two novel strains isolated from a brackish lake constitute Aeoliella fuhlenseeensis sp. nov. and Bythopirellula superficialaquae sp. nov. in the family Lacipirellulaceae

Scientific Reports
The strain collection of Heinz Schlesner (Kiel University, Germany) largely consists of budding bacteria collected from the 1980s to early 2000s. It still holds an untapped diversity of bacteria with uncommon morphologies and cell division modes.

Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1091-1107, July 2026.
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

Different Ferromanganese Concretion Morphologies Host Distinct Microbial Communities and Metal Accumulation Patterns in the Baltic Sea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated how microbes influence the metal accumulation and release in Fe‐Mn concretions from the Gulf of Finland using microcosm incubation experiments. We studied three main concretion morphotypes: crust, discoidal, and spheroidal. Microbes enhanced metal accumulation in discoidal and spheroidal morphotypes.

Pseudomonas volatiles shape the root transcriptome and microbiome to promote plant growth under drought

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 405-423, July 2026.
Summary Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by soil bacteria influence interactions with other soil microbes and plants. While their potential as plant growth promoters is well recognized, their role in promoting plant resilience to abiotic stress and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Differential Responses of Soil Prokaryotic and Fungal Communities to Forest Conversion in Two Contrasting Zambian Soils

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT Drylands are crucial for global carbon (C) storage and biodiversity, yet increasing food demands are driving the extensive conversion of natural lands to croplands in Zambia. While soil microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, the effects of forest conversion to cropland on their community structure and functional potential remain unclear ...

Planctoellipticum variicoloris gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Planctomycetaceae isolated from wastewater of the aeration lagoon of a sugar processing plant in Northern Germany

Scientific Reports
In the present study, we characterise a strain isolated from the wastewater aeration lagoon of a sugar processing plant in Schleswig (Northern Germany) by Heinz Schlesner. As a pioneer in planctomycetal research, he isolated numerous strains belonging to

Disentangling abiotic and biotic effects of treated wastewater on stream biofilm resistomes enables the discovery of a new planctomycete beta-lactamase

Microbiome
Background Environmental reservoirs of antibiotic resistance pose a threat to human and animal health. Aquatic biofilms impacted by wastewater effluent (WW) are known environmental reservoirs for antibiotic resistance; however, the relative importance of

“Genome-based in silico assessment of biosynthetic gene clusters in Planctomycetota: Evidences of its wide divergent nature”

Genomics
The biotechnological potential of Planctomycetota only recently started to be unveiled. 129 reference genomes and 5194 available genomes (4988 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)) were analysed regarding the presence of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs).
