Methane and methanol inhibit ‘Candidatus Nitrosocosmicus franklandus C13’, an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon. This impacts protein regulation, aiding C1 compound metabolism studies in these #archaea. doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

The study explored microbial #endophytes in red and Sitka alder trees’ root nodules. It found new fungal species and known bacteria. Fungal communities varied between hosts, unlike bacterial ones onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mb…

The study explores fluid mixing, biodiversity and productivity in Yellowstone’s hot springs.Increased fluid mixing enhances biodiversity and productivity, offering insights into microbial life support in hydrothermal and other non-photosynthetic ecosystems doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

The genome of #Halobacterium strain 63-R2, isolated in 1934, mirrors lab strains NRC-1 and R1, suggesting 63-R2 as their origin. This resolves past uncertainties. Additional plasmids in 63-R2 support this. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mb…

Water potential impacts XylR regulator's specificity in #Pseudomonas putida for m-xylene #biodegradation. Adding glycine betaine can offset this. It is due to water potential-induced conformational changes in XylR’s A domain and effector-binding pocket doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

This research shows that comammox and Nitrospira bacteria, main drivers of nitrification in saline-alkaline lakes, can function at pH 11. Their presence in extreme environments highlights their importance and potential for efficient nitrification. doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

Cyanobacteria #Microcystis aeruginosa can thrive in estuaries due to high salinity tolerance. Its colonial form is more salinity-resistant than the unicellular form, and mucilage production boosts survival. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mb…

This study explores what influences bacterioplankton diversity in three oceans. Findings reveal environmental factors and biotic interactions shape these communities, their significance fluctuates with environmental variability. doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

Research on microbial communities in Opalinus Clay, a potential nuclear waste repository, revealed their ability to cause #biocorrosion and mineral transformation. This could impact repository safety. Further study is needed to understand these effects. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mb…

Review on ‘shell disease’ in decapod crustaceans, highlighting microbial enzymes and environmental influences. A disease development model is proposed with suggestions for future research. doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

This study on SAR86, a marine bacteria, shows genome reduction. TMED112 family, with a 1 Mb genome and fewer biosynthesis and DNA repair genes, may rely on other microbes for survival, supporting the black queen hypothesis. doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

This study found fungi strains that degrade the toxic #mycotoxin patulin. Acremonium sp. TUS-MM1 transforms #patulin into less toxic molecules, making it a potential detoxifier for patulin-contaminated environments. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mb…

This study found that #Pseudomonas strain CHA0 effectively suppresses the phytopathogenic bacterium #Ralstonia solanacearum. Genomic screening revealed potential mechanisms, with orfamide A as the most effective compound. doi.org/10.1002/mbo3.1…

This study investigates three #Streptomyces strains with varying abilities to inhibit #Phytophthora infestans and other pathogens. Borrelidin is identified as the key compound in strain B5’s anti-oomycete activity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mb…

This study explores the link between physicochemical gradients and the microbiome in coral skeletons of #Porites lutea and #Paragoniastrea benhami. It finds that bacterial diversity increases with depth, correlating with stable low O2 and varying pH. doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

Synthetic propeptide design optimized in #Saccharomyces cerevisiae enhanced secretion of heterologous proteins, notably increasing hG-CSF production by 190%. This strategy can boost production of other proteins. doi.org/10.1002/mbo3.1…

This study discovered laccase-like enzymes secreted by #fungi from a cave in northern Spain. These enzymes effectively degrade industrial dyes and have potential applications in #biotechnology. doi.org/10.1002/mbo3.1…

The study created efficient primers for 11 bacterial genera in fish samples. These primers, more accurate than universal ones, are proposed as a cost-effective tool for evaluating bacterial communities in metagenomic samples. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mb…

#Actinobacteria communities were studied across pristine and anthropized caves. The hsp65 gene provided higher species resolution than the 16S rRNA gene. Results highlighted variations based on anthropogenic pressure. A new taxonomic database was created. doi.org/10.1002/mbo3.1…
