Circular RNAs in Lotus japonicus Responses to Nutrient Supply and Mesorhizobium Symbiosis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Symbiotic interactions between legumes and rhizobia enable nitrogen fixation under low nutrient conditions. The establishment and function of symbiotic interactions require coordinated changes in gene expression in both the host and the microbe. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous gene‐specific molecules that can regulate transcription and

Prospective study to compare antibiosis versus the association of N-acetylcysteine, D-mannose and morinda citrifolia fruit extract in preventing urinary tract infections in patients submitted to urodynamic investigation [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The abuse of antimicrobical drugs has increased the resistance of microorganisms to treatments, thus to make urinary tract infections (UTIs) more difficult to eradicate.

Photophobotaxis of single‐celled and filamentous cyanobacteria

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
LED illumination from below induces central accumulation of cyanobacterial species. Abstract Phototaxis refers to an organism's movement toward a light source, while photophobotaxis involves movement into illuminated regions. Although phototaxis in cyanobacteria has been widely studied, photophobotaxis has been investigated in only a few species.

Micromanagement in the gut : microenvironmental factors govern colon mucosal biofilm structure and functionality [PDF]

, 2015
The human gut microbiome provides us with functional features that we did not have to evolve ourselves and can be viewed as a structured microbial community that operates like a microbial organ within the human host.

Analysis of the heterogenous structural states of the hexameric ATPase PilU of the type IV pili from Vibrio cholerae

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Type IV pili (T4P) mediate surface motility, host interactions, and DNA uptake through cycles of extension and retraction. While the primary retraction ATPase PilT has been extensively characterized, its homolog PilU remains less well understood despite being demonstrated as a PilT‐dependent retraction ATPase.

New Type IV Pili–Related Genes Involved in Early Stages of Ralstonia solanacearum Potato Infection

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2014
This study provides insights into the pathogenesis of Ralstonia solanacearum, in particular with regards to strains belonging to phylotype IIB, sequevar 1 (IIB-1) and their interaction with potato, its natural host.

Optimizing Microbial Fuel Cell Efficiency Through a Designed Electrogenic Consortium to Remove Alkylbenzenes

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 10, 19 May 2026.
A mangrove‐derived electrogenic microbial consortium was successfully acclimated to codegrade ethylbenzene and xylenes in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Acclimation provided high degradation efficiencies (up to 97%) and improved energy recovery. The MFC reached voltage of 520 mV and power density of 63.4 mW m−2.

Cardiorespiratory and Hematological Responses to High‐Intensity Interval Training in Adolescent Girls With Overweight or Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a 10‐week high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) program on physiological and hematological outcomes in 28 adolescent girls with overweight or obesity. Participants were randomly assigned to a HIIT group or a control group. The HIIT protocol comprised 4 sets of 6 × 15‐s bouts at 90%–105%

Impact of conductive magnetite nanoparticles and anode polarization on glucose fermentation

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 1027-1034, May 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Electrically conductive materials and electrochemical stimulation strategies are increasingly explored to steer microbial fermentation towards desired metabolic outputs. These approaches also hold remarkable potential to couple wastewater treatment (WWT) to the production of value‐added compounds, in turn enhancing environmental ...

Pilus phase variation switches gonococcal adherence to invasion by caveolin-1-dependent host cell signaling.

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Many pathogenic bacteria cause local infections but occasionally invade into the blood stream, often with fatal outcome. Very little is known about the mechanism underlying the switch from local to invasive infection. In the case of Neisseria gonorrhoeae,
