The Structure of Spiroplasma Virus 4: Exploring the Capsid Diversity of the Microviridae

Viruses
Spiroplasma virus 4 (SpV4) is a bacteriophage of the Microviridae, which packages circular ssDNA within non-enveloped T = 1 icosahedral capsids. It infects spiroplasmas, which are known pathogens of honeybees.

Immunotherapeutic Applications of Probiotics in Infectious Diseases Management: A Scoping Review

Advanced Gut &Microbiome Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Probiotics are emerging as promising alternative therapies with diverse health applications, particularly in enhancing immunity and combating infectious diseases. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on the immunomodulatory and antimicrobial effects of well‐characterized strains, particularly species of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. Probiotics

Monitoring of the Oxidation–Reduction Potential and Its Effects on the Chemical Composition of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre Wines and Their Blends

Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) is frequently used as an indicator of oxygen exposure during red wine fermentation, but its role as a control variable across grape varieties and blending is not understood. In this study, alcoholic fermentations of Grenache (GR), Syrah (SY), and Mourvèdre (MO) were conducted in quadruplicate under three ORP ...

The Impact of Methanol Concentration on Recombinant Protein Glycosylation in Pichia pastoris SuperMan5

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
The impact of methanol concentration during induction on N‐ and O‐linked glycosylation profiles was studied in a glycoengineered Pichia pastoris strain. Higher methanol concentrations led to higher mannose glycans suggesting that this variable can be used to manipulate protein quality during bioprocessing.

Cryo-EM structures of Banna virus in multiple states reveal stepwise detachment of viral spikes

Nature Communications
Banna virus (BAV) is the prototype Seadornavirus, a class of reoviruses for which there has been little structural study. Here, we report atomic cryo-EM structures of three states of BAV virions—surrounded by 120 spikes (full virions), 60 spikes (partial

Unlocking grass leaf development: foundations for tunable cereal design

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 1655-1676, November 2025.
Summary The grass leaf plays a critical role in global food security, generating the carbon stores in cereal grains, which provide > 50% of global calories. As the global population grows, there is an urgent need to increase food production using fewer resources and to develop more resilient agricultural systems to withstand variable climate conditions

Construction and characterization of human rotavirus recombinant VP8* subunit parenteral vaccine candidates [PDF]

Vaccine, 2012
Two currently licensed live oral rotavirus vaccines (Rotarix® and RotaTeq®) are highly efficacious against severe rotavirus diarrhea. However, the efficacy of such vaccines in selected low-income African and Asian countries is much lower than that in middle or high-income countries.
