A novel genus of Pectobacterium bacteriophages display broad host range by targeting several species of Danish soft rot isolates

Virus Research
The bacterial diseases black leg and soft rot in potatoes cause heavy losses of potatoes worldwide. Bacteria within the genus Pectobacteriaceae are the causative agents of black leg and soft rot. The use of antibiotics in agriculture is heavily regulated

Application of CFS‐Loaded CMC/GEL Spray Coating for the Small Fruit Blueberries Preservation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Schematic illustration showing the fabrication of the CFS‐loaded CMC/GEL composite spray coating and its application in the blueberry preservation. The preservation experiment indicated that the blueberries sprayed with 100% CFS/CMC/GEL exhibited a lower decay rate, reduced weight loss, and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) level compared with the control ...

Native bacterial bioagents for management of potato soft rot disease caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background The reduced rate of potato production may occur under different conditions such as field, transit, storage, and marketing. Potato cultivation is frequently affected by various pathogens, among which Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp ...

Comparative Valorization of Diverse Food Waste Streams Into Functional ZnO Nanoparticles for Postharvest Pathogen Control

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 31, 17 August 2026.
Due to varying amounts of phytochemical constituents, diverse food waste have shown to differentially mediate the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with unique physicochemical properties and antimicrobial performance. In this study, raspberry pomace (RP) amongst other waste produces well‐dispersed nanoparticles with superior overall activity against food ...

Potential of Novel Bacteria from Sidoarjo Hot Mud for Controlling Potato Soft Rot Caused by Erwinia carotovora

Jurnal Proteksi Tanaman
Soft rot is an important potato disease caused by the bacterial pathogen Erwinia carotovora. Although chemical bactericides are commonly used for control, biological control using antagonistic bacteria offers a promising and environmentally friendly ...

Physical Anchoring‐Assisted Mechanically Guided Assembly for Material‐Independent 3D Mesostructures

Small, Volume 22, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Conventional mechanically guided 3D assembly relies on selective chemical bonding between 2D precursors and elastomeric substrates, imposing fundamental limitations on material compatibility and scalability. Here, we present a physically anchored, buckling‐guided assembly platform based on a rod array patterned elastomeric substrate (RPES).

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

A Novel Plant Secondary Metabolite‐Binding Gene Family Required for Full Virulence in Pectobacterium parvum

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
A newly identified virulence family from Pectobacterium parvum that binds plant defensive compounds (e.g., solanidine) with high affinity enhances bacterial tolerance and is required for full virulence. This trade‐off between defence and growth reveals a key host‐adaptation strategy.

Metagenomic analysis of microbial community dynamics in konjac rhizosphere during soft rot disease progression

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Amorphophallus konjac, the sole glucomannan-rich species in the Araceae family, faces significant yield and quality losses due to soft rot disease. Understanding the relationship between soil microbial communities and soft rot incidence is critical for ...
