Mining Impacts on a Threatened and Burnt Swamp Ecosystem: Responses of the Microbial Soil Community

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
The evaluation of microbial communities and soil chemistry of three mined and three unmined swamps in the burnt southeastern Australia suggested that mining activities led to changes in the microbial community structure and functionality. This figure incorporates symbols sourced from BioRender and was created with BioRender.com.

The Chaetocerosphere: Chaetoceros Species and Associated Prokaryotes in a Coastal Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Chaetoceros species maintain recurrent distinct prokaryotic assemblages in their phycosphere. Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Archaea Thermoplasmata and Marine Group II are the most represented in the phycosphere. Bipartite networks highlight strong links between the diatom and specific prokaryotic taxa, especially the chain‐forming species ...

Transhemispheric exchange of Lyme disease spirochetes by seabirds

, 1995
Lyme disease is a zoonosis transmitted by ticks and caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Epidemiological and ecological investigations to date have focused on the terrestrial forms of Lyme disease. Here we show a significant role for

Association Between the Root Canal Microbiome and Apical Lesion Size: An Observational Shotgun Metagenomic Study

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 10, Page 2211-2222, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim was to characterize the taxonomic and functional composition of the microbiome involved in primary endodontic infections and to evaluate their association with the periapical lesion size using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Methodology Samples from primary root canal infections diagnosed with apical periodontitis were analysed ...

Bactofilins are essential spatial organizers of peptidoglycan insertion in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi

Journal of Bacteriology
The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi has a distinctive pattern of growth. Newly born cells elongate by primarily inserting peptidoglycan at mid-cell, while in longer cells, additional insertion sites form at the one-quarter and three-quarter ...

Detection of Ring Structure and Its Flexibility in Periplasmic Region of FliL, Bacterial Flagellar Stator‐Associate Protein, in Marine Vibrio

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 4, Page 351-358, October 2026.
FliL, a single‐pass transmembrane flagellar protein with a large periplasmic domain, associates with the basal body and supports motor function under high‐load conditions (e.g., viscous environments). The periplasmic domain of deletion mutant FliL forms a flexible ring structure, likely reflecting the capacity of the full‐length protein to adaptively ...

Histochemical and Immunohistochemical methods for demonstration of spirochetes in skin biopsies

, 1994
Spiral bacteria are classified as spirochetes. They are not stainable with either Gram or Acid fast techniques, commonly used for bacteria. Histochemical stains for the demonstration of spirochetes in routinely processed skin biopsies with suspected ...

Detection of Lyme disease spirochetes and Borrelia miyamotoi in samples of Czech patients

, 2021
Lyme borreliosis is a disease caused by infection of selected members of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, a genus that keeps growing. With time, more and more members of this complex were identified as pathogenic for humans. This work aims to

Development of a successful method for quantifying viable oral anaerobic spirochetes from pure culture and periodontal pockets

, 1993
Spirochetes are markedly prevalent in periodontal disease but are not included as predominant cultivable organisms because of the inability to quantify them by viable count.
