Bacterial Resilience and Vulnerability to Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments in Soil: Short‐Term Community Responses

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study investigated short‐term impacts of seed treatment‐derived neonicotinoids on soil bacterial communities in wheat‐planted microcosms. Over 10 days, significant Day and Day × Treatment effects on bacterial community structure were observed, with selective enrichment and suppression of specific taxa despite limited overall changes in alpha ...

Diet Outweighs Vertical Transmission in Shaping Dung Beetle Larval Gut Microbiomes

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The microbiome is central to host development and adaptation, yet the balance between vertical and environmental acquisition, and how hosts shape surrounding microbial communities, remains poorly understood. Dung beetles rely on microbial symbionts to extract nutrients from vertebrate dung, with part of their microbiome vertically inherited ...

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) produced by fermentation with Ensifer adhaerens CCTCC M 20241585 for all animal species (Orffa Additives B.V.)

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) produced by fermentation with Ensifer adhaerens CCTCC M 20241585, when used as a nutritional additive for all animal species.

Destabilization of the Tumor-Inducing Plasmid from an Octopine-Type Agrobacterium tumefaciens Lineage Drives a Large Deletion in the Co-resident At Megaplasmid

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Bacteria with multi-replicon genome organizations, including members of the family Rhizobiaceae, often carry a variety of niche-associated functions on large plasmids.

Pulicaria incisa Infusion Modulates the Gut Microbiota and Improves Locomotor Activity and Exploratory Behavior in Aging Mice

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
‐Pi infusion significantly improved locomotor activity and exploratory behavior in aging mice; its bioactive compounds may have direct effects on behavior, which may be accompanied by a putative indirect effect involving the gut microbiota. ‐Pi infusion consumption restored commensal Bacilli levels and caused a significant decrease in Clostridia levels

The gut microbiome promotes the growth performance of black soldier fly larvae by detoxifying uric acid

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study demonstrates the detrimental effects of exogenous uric acid (UA) on the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, highlighting the role of gut microbiota in UA degradation. We isolated UA‐degrading bacterial strains associated with BSF, including Enterococcus faecalis AHAU24.

Geographic variation and core microbiota composition of Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae) infesting a single host across latitudinal and altitudinal gradients [PDF]

PeerJ
Anastrepha ludens is a pestiferous tephritid fly species exhibiting extreme polyphagy. It develops optimally in hosts rich in sugar but low nitrogen content. We studied the geographical influence on the composition of A. ludens’s larval and newly emerged

Toward Sustainable Fertilization: Biochar and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) Influence on Sweet Pepper (Capsicuum annuum L.) Development and Production Under Reduced Nitrogen Input

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The use of beneficial soil microorganisms and organic amendments is a desirable strategy for advancing sustainable horticultural systems. This study demonstrated that biochar and PGPB application with half N dose maintained sweet pepper growth and yield at levels comparable to full N dose, while promoting fruit quality, soil fertility and microbial ...

Enhanced below‐ground functioning is associated with higher plant resistance against drought: Implications for ecosystem functions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results suggest that the subordinate species achieves higher drought resistance in biomass and soil functions via increased below‐ground functioning. The data presented here provide a basis to explain the underlying mechanisms behind the response of grassland communities and their C cycling to drought.
