Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Sedimentary microbiomes and, for the first time, rhizosphere microbiomes of Zostera capensis, South Africa's most abundant seagrass, were characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding across three estuaries. After accounting for seawater‐derived microbes, we found that sediment and rhizosphere communities largely overlapped but also harbor distinct core ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Dung beetles feed on various food sources that are rich in microbial life. Here, we describe how the diets of seven dung beetle species, specialising in coprophagy, necrophagy, detritophagy, fungivory and carnivory influence their gut bacterial structure and diversity.

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 577-590, April 2026.Summary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia: What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi's

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 4539-4547, 30 March 2026.ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 1041-1060, March/April 2026.Abstract This systematic review examines strategies for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production by thraustochytrids, focusing on cultivation techniques, fermentation technologies, and carbon/nitrogen optimization to increase productivity. Among 169 eligible articles, the 100 most productive studies (0.7–10.3 g DHA L−1 per day) were analyzed. Quantitative

Dominance of opportunistic generalist species after aquatic microbial community coalescence
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Coalescence describes the mixing of two entire communities, a process frequently encountered by naturally occurring microbial communities. Such coalescence events can significantly impact microbial community dynamics, and previous studies have highlighted the importance of diversity, productivity of the mixing communities, and coherence among ...
