Whole-genome analysis uncovers four novel Streptomyces species linked to sweet potato soil rot in China
Sweet potato soil rot, caused by pathogenic Streptomyces , is an emerging threat to sweet potato production in China. However, the diversity and pathogenic mechanisms of the associated species remain poorly understood. In this study, sym...

Local temperature and humidity are associated with proportion of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli isolates in farm environments: considerations for on-farm surveillance
Evidence suggests that increased local temperatures are associated with higher prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in environmental bacteria. This observational cohort study investigates associations between local climate and th...

Structural and catalytic characterization of the 2,5-dihydroxypyridine ring-cleaving dioxygenase Hpo from Pseudomonas putida S16
2,5-Dihydroxypyridine (2,5-DHP) is a potentially carcinogenic intermediate in pyridine catabolism. Hpo, a non-heme Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida S16, catalyzes ring cleavage of 2,5-DHP, yet its structure has remain...

Phosphonate degradation through the C–P lyase pathway by a dinoflagellate-associated Mameliella alba enhances host growth under phosphate limitation
Phosphonates are distinguished by their chemically stable carbon–phosphorus (C–P) bonds and constitute approximately 25% of the dissolved organic P pool in the ocean. Most eukaryotic phytoplankton, including dinoflagellates, are unable t...

Design of ancestral protein-glutaminase with improved thermal stability
Protein-glutaminase (PG) from Chryseobacterium proteolyticum is an industrially valuable enzyme for protein deamidation; however, its application is limited because of insufficient thermal stability. Previous rational design studies have...

A high-throughput pipeline for isolation and screening of the citrus bacteriome identifies Pseudomonas chlororaphis with anti- Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus activity
Plant microbiomes are a rich source of secondary metabolites, often with pathogen- or disease-suppressive traits. Huanglongbing (HLB) is a serious disease of citrus for which there is currently no cure. Here, we tested the hypothesis tha...

Cross-domain microbiome legacy of a natural Phaeocystis globosa bloom in eutrophic coastal waters: a framework for monitoring bloom onset, collapse, and post-bloom recovery
When a harmful algal bloom collapses, does the coastal water quality recover? We addressed this question using the natural bloom of the haptophyte Phaeocystis globosa in coastal waters around Xiamen Island, China. Bacterial and microeuka...

N ₂ O reduction at low pH
Microbial N ₂ O reduction in acid soils became a conundrum when NosZ maturation was found to be impaired at pH ≤6 in both model organisms and soil communities. Yet, evolution appears to have repeatedly circumvented this constraint. Examp...

Assembly mechanisms and successional patterns of sediment bacterial communities along a riverine wetland restoration chronosequence
Understanding the assembly mechanisms of bacterial communities in sediment is vital for assessing ecological outcomes of wetland restoration. This study examined these processes within sediment bacterial communities along a restoration c...

Waste oil substrates reshape the black soldier fly larval gut microbiome and biomass composition during bioconversion
Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are generalist decomposers with promise for converting agricultural and food-processing by-products into value-added bioproducts, but BSFL performance on lipid-rich waste oil streams and the role of the gu...
