Microbial Life Inside Posidonia Seeds: Beneficial Endophytes and Implications for Marine Plant Health

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Seagrass Posidonia oceanica seeds host diverse bacterial and fungal endophytes with plant‐growth–promoting traits, including nitrogen fixation and hormone production. These microbes may be vertically transmitted and support seedling establishment, offering insights for marine plant conservation and biotechnological applications.

Relative Humidity Influences Aureobasidium pullulans Degradation of Polyester Polyurethane Foam

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
The plant pathogen Aureobasidium pullulans' ability to degrade polyurethane foam is impacted by Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH). These impacts can be observed through foam weight loss, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fungal growth, and cutinase gene expression.

‘You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get?’. The Jodłowno Hoard (Pomerania, Poland) as Evidence of Long‐Distance Contacts in the Early Iron Age

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 193-211, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents multifaceted analyses of metal artefacts from the Jodłowno Hoard (Northern Poland), revealing that the metal originated from Iberian polymetallic ore deposits. Transported as raw ingots via Atlantic maritime routes, this copper was reworked locally into regionally distinctive forms.

Porous Coatings by Vapor Sublimation and Deposition for Molecular Channeling and Filtration in an Interstitial Fluid Microfiltration Device

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 9, 6 March 2026.
A vapor‐based porous coating applied within nitinol tubes demonstrated complete suppression of cellular and tissue ingrowth, overcoming a major limitation of implantable interstitial fluid collection devices. Molecular channeling and diffusion are analyzed with probe molecules, showing reliable transport in vitro and in vivo. The coating also achieved >
