THE SEARCH FOR NEW WAYS DISPOSAL OF DRUGS, THAT ARE UNSUITABLE FOR MEDICAL USE

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2015
Drotaverine hydrochloride and codeine phosphate, antispasmodic and analgesic drugs, respectively, derived from isoquinoline, were evaluated for its biodegradability using actinobacteria from the Regional Specialized Collection of Alkanotrophic ...

Metatranscriptomics analysis of silicon transporters highlights underappreciated contributors to silica cycling in the Baltic Sea

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract The biotic component of the marine silica cycle strongly influences global biogeochemical cycling. Active uptake of dissolved silicic acid (dSi) occurs via silicon transporters (SITs), first characterized in diatoms but widely distributed in eukaryotes. Studying SITs and SIT‐like (SIT‐L) gene transcripts provides insights into the dynamics and

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1610-1627, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

A Comparative Biochemical Study of Oleate Hydratases

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Four oleate hydratases (Ohys) from diverse homologous families (HFams) were characterized side‐by‐side in terms of expression levels, oligomeric state, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) affinity, thermostability, and activity. A general favorable effect of the reduction of FAD to FADH2 for Ohy activity was demonstrated, with (R)‐10‐hydroxystearic acid (

(Pan)genomic analysis of two Rhodococcus isolates and their role in phenolic compound degradation

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
The genus Rhodococcus is recognized for its potential to degrade a large range of aromatic substances, including plant-derived phenolic compounds. We used comparative genomics in the context of the broader Rhodococcus pan-genome to study genomic traits ...

Abalone Gut Microbiome Regulators: A Review Synthesizing Gut Physiology, Microorganisms, Diet and the Environment

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Abalone are economically, ecologically and culturally significant marine molluscs, with both wild and farmed populations under pressure due to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Abalone performance and health are centred on a highly specialized digestive system supported by a diverse gut microbiome, which enables nutrient assimilation ...

Effects of Timing of Microbial Exposure on Microbiome Assembly and Amphibian Immune Development

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We used a novel amphibian gnotobiotic system to investigate how disruptions to the microbiome during critical developmental periods influence microbial assembly and the development of immunity. We found that antimicrobial treatments of embryos and subsequent introduction to microbes at different developmental stages altered microbiome assembly ...

Integrated Evaluation of the Multifunctional Bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Insecticidal, and Postharvest Effects on Fresh Ginger

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Multifunctional bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria essential oil. ABSTRACT Plant‐derived essential oils are increasingly investigated as sustainable alternatives for food preservation and crop protection; however, their multifunctional applicability under postharvest conditions remains insufficiently explored.
