A statistical approach to model soil microbiota versus heavy metals: a case study on soil samples from Foggia, Southern Italy

Scientific Reports
Heavy-metal (HM) contamination undermines soil functions and food safety, while risk appraisals often rely on chemical indices that can be unstable in the presence of extremes and only indirectly reflect biological integrity.

From the Surface to the Deep-Sea: Bacterial Distributions across Polymetallic Nodule Fields in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Marine bacteria regulate fluxes of matter and energy essential for pelagic and benthic organisms and may also be involved in the formation and maintenance of commercially valuable abyssal polymetallic nodules.

Enhanced discovery of bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase through computer simulation and metagenomic analysis of industrial wastewater

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1090-1102, July 2025.
We obtained potential bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase (LMCO) sequences through metagenomic sequencing. All sequences exhibited significant differences from known LMCOs in databases. To select the most promising candidates, we performed structure prediction and molecular docking using alphafold2, metal3d and rosetta.

Responses of N2O reductase gene (nosZ)-denitrifier communities to long-term fertilization follow a depth pattern in calcareous purplish paddy soil

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
The effect of long-term fertilization on soil denitrifying communities was analysed by measuring the abundance and diversity of the nitrous oxide (N2O) reductase gene, nosZ.

Association of gut microbiome with risk of intracranial aneurysm: a mendelian randomization study

BMC Neurology, 2023
Objective To investigate the potential causal link between genetic variants associated with gut microbiome and risk of intracranial aneurysm (IA) using two-sample mendelian randomization (MR). Methods We performed two sets of MR analyses.

Biological Routes for Biohydrogen Production: A Clean and Carbon‐Free Fuel

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 7, July 2025.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Biological routes for hydrogen (H2) production are mainly classified into four pathways: 1) direct bio‐photolysis, 2) indirect bio‐photolysis, 3) photo‐fermentation, and 4) dark fermentation. Of these pathways, dark fermentation produces the highest levels of H2 production.

Testing the efficacy of surface swab sampling to determine postmortem submersion interval (PMSI), using the microbiome colonization of skeletal remains

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 1261-1273, July 2025.
Abstract Postmortem interval (PMI) estimation contributes valuable information in the medicolegal investigation of decomposed human remains, and estimating the postmortem submersion interval (PMSI) can specifically aid investigations involving victims discovered in aquatic environments.

Diel study reveals increased nighttime bacterial activity and its connection to organic compounds in the ocean

Communications Biology
The linkages between dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics and bacterial activity (BAct) are key to regulating carbon fluxes in marine food webs. While transcriptional activities have shown diel patterns, the connections between BAct and DOM on the ...
