Gut Bacteria Improve Depressive Symptoms by Degrading Cortisol into Androgen
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chronic stress is an important risk factor for stress‐related disorders such as depression. Stress hormone cortisol is essential for the pathogenesis of stress‐related disorders such as depression. Some gut microbiota degraded cortisol, and improve depressive symptoms.

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Patescibacteriota represents a diverse group of ultra‐small epibiotic bacteria, which is largely overlooked. By integrating ribosomal protein S3‐based community profiling with MAG‐based metabolic potential analyses, this study provides new insights into their distribution, diversity, and potential interactions with other bacteria across diverse ...

The use of computer-based assessments in a field biology module [PDF]
, 2007 Formative computer-based assessments (CBAs) for self-instruction were introduced into a Year-2 field biology module. These CBAs were provided in ‘tutorial’ mode where each question had context-related diagnostic feedback and tutorial pages, and a self ...

Two Novel S‐methyltransferases Confer Dimethylsulfide Production in Actinomycetota
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies two novel S‐adenosine‐methionine‐dependent methyltransferases, MddM1 and MddM2, in actinomycetes from the Mariana Trench. These enzymes can convert toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) into dimethylsulfide (DMS), serving as a cellular detoxification and oxidative stress response.

Finding needles in haystacks: linking scientific names, reference specimens and molecular data for Fungi [PDF]
, 2014 DNA phylogenetic comparisons have shown that morphology-based species recognition often underestimates fungal diversity. Therefore, the need for accurate DNA sequence data, tied to both correct taxonomic names and clearly annotated specimen data, has ...
