Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Dominance and toxicity without lethality: Exploring biomass, cyanometabolites, and Daphnia responses across Cyanobacterial strains

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan, important components of biomass with a remarkable ability to synthesize a diverse array of bioactive compounds, some of which may have toxic effects on other organisms and ecosystems. In this study, filamentous cyanobacterial strains isolated predominantly from temperate European freshwaters (Aphanizomenon ...

Moderate‐Temperature Hydrothermal Treatment Removes Detectable DNA and Antibiotic Resistance Genes From Municipal Sludge While Preserving Resource Value

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract shows the overall study design where dewatered wastewater sludge samples were collected and subjected to a range of HT temperatures. Measurement of nucleic acid concentration and antibiotic resistance gene profiles across temperatures showed that HT at moderate temperatures offers sustainable, scalable sludge sanitation and ARG ...

NToxSEM: Enhancing prediction of neurotoxic peptides and neurotoxins using a stacked ensemble‐based multimodal framework

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The safety assessment of therapeutic proteins and genetically modified (GM) organisms relies heavily on the rapid and accurate prediction of peptides, and proteins that exhibit neurotoxic activity. Since experimental methods are time‐consuming and costly, they are not technically suitable for the cost‐effective characterization of neurotoxic ...

Enhanced Biomethane Recovery From Source‐Separated Cow Urine via Co‐Digestion With Waste Paper

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study outlines the experimental process where cow urine, collected from a dairy barn equipped with a source‐separating manure system, and waste paper are loaded into bioreactors (CU0–CU50) at varying ratios to analyze the biogas yield. The analytical results highlight that this collection system significantly enhances biogas and biomethane ...

Complete Genome Sequence of Pseudoxanthomonas taiwanensis AL17 and its Potential Genes

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Several reports on genome sequencing using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify the total genome were extensively carried out; however, genome identification on thermophilic microorganisms is still limited.

Interaction Between Rec8 and Mis4 Is Required for Axis‐Loop Chromatin Formation and Homologous Chromosome Recombination During Meiosis

Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 4, July 2026.
We identified a Mis4 cohesin loader mutant that is specifically defective in chromatin axis formation and homologous recombination while retaining normal sister chromatid cohesion. The mis4‐LR mutant, carrying the L1150S and R1159G amino acid substitutions, exhibited reduced interaction between Mis4 and Rec8, suggesting a meiosis‐specific role for the ...

Substrate Specificity of B12‐Depedent Ribonucleotide Reductases: Biotechnology and Metabolic Implications

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) are valuable biocatalysts for the biosynthesis of non‐natural deoxyribonucleotide, relevant in fields like medical science and synthetic biology. In this study, we explore the substrate spectrum of two thermostable RNRs and discuss their implications for nucleotide metabolism and biocatalytical applications ...
