Diet‐Driven Divergence in Gut Microbiota Variation Between Two Sympatric Gerbil Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota provide various benefits to their mammalian hosts; however, knowledge regarding interspecific differences in gut microecology remains limited. This study employed 16S rRNA sequencing combined with metagenomic functional prediction (potential functions or functional potential) to conduct a comparative analysis of the gut ...

Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of lignocellulose digestion in shipworms [PDF]

, 2018
Lignocellulose forms the structural framework of woody plant biomass and represents the most abundant carbon source in the biosphere. Turnover of woody biomass is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, and the enzymes involved are of increasing

Plant canopies sustain soil C‐N‐P enzyme activities under climatic disequilibrium

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings reveal that plant–soil interactions are sensitive to mismatches between plant communities and climate. By enhancing enzymatic functioning under conditions of climatic disequilibrium, canopy plants contribute to maintaining nutrient cycling processes and potentially ecosystem resilience.

Unveiling the Hidden Drivers: How Vegetation Cover, Season and Forest Management Shape the Soil Microbial Community in Two Mediterranean Forest Ecosystems

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Forest management affects microbial community composition depending on forest type. Vegetation type has the strongest effect on microbial composition, while management alters community structure without affecting function, highlighting the importance of vegetation in forest soil ecosystem dynamics.

Bacterial Synergism in Lignocellulose Biomass Degradation – Complementary Roles of Degraders As Influenced by Complexity of the Carbon Source

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is an attractive source of carbon for the production of sugars and other chemicals. Due to its inherent complexity and heterogeneity, efficient biodegradation requires the actions of different types of hydrolytic enzymes. In

Bioprospecting xylanase enzymes from environmental samples [PDF]

, 2014
Hemicelluloses are a group of heteropolysaccharides which accounts for 33% by dry weight of the total lignocellulosic biomass. Xylan is one of the most important and abundantly found hemicellulose which has diverse structures according to the source from

Microbial Resistance and Resilience to Short‐Term Drought Varies Among Grasslands Spanning a Broad Precipitation Gradient

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought is increasing in severity and duration across the United States, particularly in arid and semi‐arid regions. Previous research has shown that drought has strong impacts in drier versus more mesic regions for aboveground productivity.

Creation of a Pseudotsuga menziesii nucellus cell suspension culture system to produce proteins involved in reproduction

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 2, March-April 2026.
Abstract Premise Cell suspension cultures of Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) nucellus were created to overcome phenological limitations to the in situ study of bioactive proteins within and secreted by nucellar cells. Methods Proteins isolated from the cell suspension culture medium were analyzed using mass spectrometry, as were Douglas‐fir post ...

Characterization of a novel thermostable and xylose-tolerant GH 39 β-xylosidase from Dictyoglomus thermophilum

BMC Biotechnology, 2018
Background β-D-xylosidase is a vital exoglycosidase with the ability to hydrolyze xylooligosaccharides to xylose and to biotransform some saponins by cleaving outer β-xylose.
