A synthetic biology toolkit for the plasmid-dependent and thermophilic methylotroph Bacillus methanolicus

Cell Reports
Summary: Bacillus methanolicus, a unique plasmid-dependent and thermophilic methylotroph, is an ideal chassis for one-carbon (C1) biomanufacturing. Despite its evolutionary uniqueness and industrial promise, the synthetic biology toolkit remains limited ...

Resistance and Recovery of Crop Productivity From Contrasted Soil Fertility

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The balance between crop production and environmental sustainability depends on an adequate supply of soil nutrients, although changes in nutrient supply may initially have little effect on crop production due to the buffering effects of soil nutrients and the overall resilience of the system.

Yeast‐Based Biotechnology for Civilian Security

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Yeasts constitute robust and versatile eukaryotic platforms for biotechnological applications relevant to civilian security. Both native and genetically engineered yeast systems enable sensitive detection of chemical and biological hazards, effective removal of metals and organic pollutants, and detoxification of mycotoxins.

Comparative Binding Studies of the Chelators Methylolanthanin and Rhodopetrobactin B to Lanthanides and Ferric Iron

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
The synthesis and the investigation of the lanthanide (Ln) and Fe‐binding properties of the putative lanthanophore methylolanthanin (MLL) and the siderophore rhodopetrobactin B (RPB B) are reported. While both chelators bind Lns, they unexpectedly precipitate with Lns under biologically relevant conditions and thereby challenge the proposed classic ...

Unifying microorganisms and macrograzers in intertidal rocky shore ecological networks

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Over the past decades, our understanding of the vital role microbes play in ecosystem processes has greatly expanded. However, we still have limited knowledge about how microbial communities interact with larger organisms. Many existing representations of microbial interactions are based on co‐occurrence patterns, which do not provide clear ...

Climate and microbial community composition drive shifts in ecosystem function along three parallel elevational gradients

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Mountains are home to steep elevational gradients in environmental factors, biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. Though these gradients are tightly connected, little is known about the relative contribution of environmental and biotic factors in driving elevational changes in ecosystem functionality.

Influence of Plant Genotype on Nodule‐Associated Bacterial Community Composition and Function in Seasonal Field Pea Varieties

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Legume root nodules host symbiotic rhizobia that are essential for nitrogen fixation but also harbor diverse non‐rhizobial taxa that remain poorly characterized. Field pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars adapted to distinct seasonal growth (spring and winter) offer an opportunity to explore whether host genotype influences nodule‐associated ...

Evolutionary and functional relationships between plant and microbial C1 metabolism in terrestrial ecosystems

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1132-1153, November 2025.
Summary One‐carbon (C1) metabolism, centered on the universal methyl donor S‐adenosyl methionine (SAM), plays critical roles in biosynthesis, redox regulation, and stress responses across plants and microbes. A recently proposed photosynthetic C1 pathway links SAM methyl groups directly to RuBisCO‐mediated CO2 assimilation and integrates with nitrogen ...

Systematic engineering of synthetic serine cycles in Pseudomonas putida uncovers emergent topologies for methanol assimilation

The urgent need for a circular carbon economy has driven research into sustainable substrates, including one-carbon (C1) compounds. The non-pathogenic soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida is a promising host for exploring synthetic methylotrophy due to its ...
