From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils [PDF]
During the summer months, wet (hyporheic) soils associated with ephemeral streams and lake edges in the Antarctic Dry Valleys (DVs) become hotspots of biological activity and are hypothesized to be an important source of carbon and nitrogen for arid DV ...

Forensic Comparison of Soils by Bacterial Community DNA Profiling
Abstract This preliminary investigation has shown that a soil microbial community DNA profile can be obtained from the small sample of soil recovered from the sole of a shoe, and from soil stains on clothing. We have also shown that these profiles are representative of the site of collection and therefore could potentially be used as ...

Canagliflozin treatment reshapes the gut microbiota in DKD and elevates levels of melibiose, a metabolite derived from Roseburia intestinalis. Melibiose directly binds to and enhances the enzymatic activity of glyoxalase 1, leading to decreased methylglyoxal accumulation.

Effect of alternate partial root-zone drip irrigation on soil bacterial communities and tomato yield [PDF]
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of alternate partial root-zone drip irrigation (ADI) on the soil microbial communities in the crop root zone and the relation between the soil microbial community changes and crop growth. We investigated the

Effect of the Different Fertilization Treatments Application on Paddy Soil Enzyme Activities and Bacterial Community Composition [PDF]
The application amount of fertilizer is believed to dramatically influence soil bacteria in paddy fields, and soil bacteria critically affect soil enzyme activities and the growth of rice in paddy fields.

Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.
