Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Food Applications: From Synthesis and Functional Properties to Safety and Sustainability

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Green and conventional synthesis routes produce ZnO nanoparticles with tunable physicochemical properties for food applications, ZnO‐NPs enhance antimicrobial activity, UV protection, and food preservation through ROS generation and ZN2+ release. However, particle dissolution, migration, cytotoxicity, and environmental concerns highlight the need for ...

Differential Immune Responses Correlate With Chytridiomycosis Severity in Italian Crested Newts

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In the midst of the current biodiversity crisis, amphibians are severely threatened by emerging diseases such as chytridiomycosis. Characterizing the mechanisms that underlie susceptibility to this disease is fundamental to improve amphibian conservation.

Full‐Length 16S and 18S rRNA Long‐Read Sequencing Reveals Gut Microbiome Diversity in the European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus)

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Full‐length 16S and 18S rRNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing of large intestine contents from 30 healthy European brown hares revealed broad gut microbiome diversity. An 80% identity threshold detected substantially greater taxonomic richness than 95%, emphasizing the value of long‐read sequencing in wildlife microbiome research. ABSTRACT The European brown

Sphingobacterium solani sp. nov., isolated from potato stems

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2018
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated MLS-26-JM13-11T, was isolated from potato stems, collected in Guyuan County, Hebei Province, China. Strain MLS-26-JM13-11T could grow at 10-39 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.2) and in the presence of 0-4.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0 % w/v). Phylogenetic analysis,

Sphingobacterium terrae sp. nov., isolated from oil-contaminated soil

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2018
A cream-coloured, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain Brt-FT, was isolated from oil-contaminated soil. Strain Brt-FT was able to grow from 15 to 45 °C, pH 6.5-10.5 and 0-4.5 % (w/v) NaCl concentration. This strain was taxonomically characterized by a polyphasic approach.

Environmental Contamination Affects Associated Bacterial Communities in a Neotropical Arboreal Ant

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Environmental stressors such as contamination from mining tailings can alter microbial communities associated with insects, including social ants. Ants, as widespread and ecologically influential insects with stable microbial associations, offer a relevant model to examine these effects.

Sphingobacterium composti sp. nov., isolated from cotton-waste composts [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2007
A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, short rod-shaped, non-motile bacterial strain designated 4M24Twas isolated from cotton-waste compost. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 4M24Trevealed that it is a member of the genusSphingobacterium, sharing 88.5–94.5 % sequence similarity with type strains of the genusSphingobacteriumand being most ...

Surmounting Recalcitrant Airway Inflammatory Disorders With a Multi‐Targeting Therapeutic Strategy by Tannic Acid‐Modified CuInP2S6 Nanosheets

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Our findings underscore a multi‐targeting strategy for severe airway inflammation that multi‐targeting nanoformulation C‐TA1 markedly attenuated airway inflammation by (1) cfDNA elimination to alleviate neutrophilic/eosinophilic inflammation mediated by the TLR9 pathway, (2) prevention of RONS‐induced tissue injury and inflammatory response, (3 ...
