Virtual Screening of Bacteriocins From Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Monkeypox DNA Polymerase: Sakacin P and Mundticin KS Emerge as Promising Candidates

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study employs an in silico virtual screening workflow to evaluate lactic acid bacteria (LAB)‐derived bacteriocins as potential inhibitors of the monkeypox virus DNA polymerase (MPDP). Protein‐peptide docking simulations using the HADDOCK platform revealed that Sakacin P and Mundticin KS possess the highest binding affinities for the MPDP target ...

To Move or Not to Move: When and How Bacteria Suppress Flagellar Motility

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 2, Page 173-189, August 2026.
Motility cessation in bacteria is a key regulatory strategy that provides multiple survival advantages including enhanced community cooperation, niche adaptation and evasion of host immune responses. This process is controlled by associated mechanisms such as post‐translational modifications and second messenger signalling that stabilise non‐motile ...

Membrane Vesicle Formation Removes Iron Sulfide Mineral Crusts From the Cell Surface of Growing Sulfate‐Reducing Bacteria

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) drive the process of sulfate reduction in low‐temperature sedimentary environments. Through the production of sulfide, they promote the formation of iron‐sulfide (Fe‐S) minerals when Fe(II) is available. The negative charge of the cell surface of bacteria can promote the binding of Fe(II), leading to the ...

The Dual Role of Methyl Caffeate: Growth Inhibition of Pseudomonas syringae and Induction of Resistance to Bacterial Speck Disease in Tomato

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Methyl caffeate exhibits dual functionality against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. It directly disrupts bacterial membrane integrity, induces reactive oxygen species accumulation, and inhibits flagellar motility and the type III secretion system. Concurrently, it primes plant defence by activating defence‐related gene expression and enzyme activities,

Microbiota Composition Shaped by Seasonal Variation and Environmental Compartments Affects the Abundance of Antimicrobial‐Resistant Bacteria in Indonesian Aquaculture

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Antibiotics reshape fish gut microbiota, promoting antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (ARB) emergence. In the dry season, ARB accumulate in water and dominate a specific niche. Wet‐season hydrological changes introduce new bacteria, disturb native communities and drive shifts in AMB abundance and the emergence of novel resistant taxa across compartments.

Conjugative Transfer of Disease‐Encoding Plasmid Variants in Serratia spp. Alter Production of Enzymes and Virulence Properties

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Analysis of plasmid transconjugants relative to plasmid‐free and plasmid‐carrying Serratia spp. demonstrates erratic disease phenotypes and reduced fitness. Transconjugants also show reduced ability to degrade substrates associated with virulence, supported by transcriptomic data.
