Widespread greenhouse gas emissions and resulting global warming pose significant risks to the environment, economy, and society. The need for alternative fuels drives the development of third-generation feedstocks: microalgae, seaweed, and cyanobacteria. These microalgae offer traits like rapid growth, high lipid content, non-competition with human food, and growth on non-arable land using brackish or waste water, making them...

Bacteriocins: potentials and prospects in health and agrifood systems
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 25;206(5):233. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03948-y.ABSTRACTBacteriocins are highly diverse, abundant, and heterogeneous antimicrobial peptides that are ribosomally synthesized by bacteria and archaea. Since their discovery about a century ago, there has been a growing interest in bacteriocin research and applications. This is mainly due to their high antimicrobial properties, narrow or broad spectrum of activity, specificity, low cytotoxicity, and stability. Though initially used to improve food quality and safety, bacteriocins are now globally exploited for innovative applications in human, animal, an...

New insights into the coal-associated methane architect: the ancient archaebacteria
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 25;206(5):234. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03961-1.ABSTRACTExploration and marketable exploitation of coalbed methane (CBM) as cleaner fuel has been started globally. In addition, incidence of methane in coal basins is an imperative fraction of global carbon cycle. Significantly, subsurface coal ecosystem contains methane forming archaea. There is a rising attention in optimizing microbial coal gasification to exploit the abundant or inexpensive coal reserves worldwide. Therefore, it is essential to understand the coalbeds in geo-microbial perspective. Current review provides an in-depth analysis of re...

Transcript tinkering: RNA modifications in protozoan parasites
Curr Opin Microbiol. 2024 Apr 24;79:102477. doi: 10.1016/j.mib.2024.102477. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTApicomplexan and trypanosomatid parasites have evolved a wide range of post-transcriptional processes that allow them to replicate, differentiate, and transmit within and among multiple different tissue, host, and vector environments. In this review, we highlight the recent advances that point toward the regulatory potential of RNA modifications in mediating these processes on the coding and noncoding transcriptome throughout the life cycle of protozoan parasites. We discuss the recent technical advancements enabling t...

Metabolic modeling of Halomonas campaniensis improves polyhydroxybutyrate production under nitrogen limitation
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Apr 25;108(1):310. doi: 10.1007/s00253-024-13111-8.ABSTRACTPoly-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is an environmentally friendly alternative for conventional fossil fuel-based plastics that is produced by various microorganisms. Large-scale PHB production is challenging due to the comparatively higher biomanufacturing costs. A PHB overproducer is the haloalkaliphilic bacterium Halomonas campaniensis, which has low nutritional requirements and can grow in cultures with high salt concentrations, rendering it resistant to contamination. Despite its virtues, the metabolic capabilities of H. campaniensis as ...

Sphingomonas lacusdianchii sp. nov., an attached bacterium inhibited by metabolites from its symbiotic cyanobacterium
This study provided new ideas to understand the interactions between Microcystis and its attached bacteria. KEY POINTS: • A novel bacterium (JXJCY 53 T) was isolated from the cyanosphere of Microcystis sp. FACHB-905 (MF-905) • JXJCY 53 T modulated the growth and microcystin production of MF-905 • MF-905 could control the attached bacteria by specific chemicals other than microcystins (MCs).PMID:38661971 | PMC:PMC11045571 | DOI:10.1007/s00253-024-13081-x (Source: Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology)

Mechanistic insights into the adaptive evolvability of spore heat resistance in Bacillus cereus sensu lato
Int J Food Microbiol. 2024 Apr 15;418:110709. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110709. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWet heat treatment is a commonly applied method in the food and medical industries for the inactivation of microorganisms, and bacterial spores in particular. While many studies have delved into the mechanisms underlying wet heat killing and spore resistance, little attention has so far been dedicated to the capacity of spore-forming bacteria to tune their resistance through adaptive evolution. Nevertheless, a recent study from our group revealed that a psychrotrophic strain of the Bacillus cereus sensu lato ...

Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 Apr 16;257:116301. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116301. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEfficient tools for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) are crucial for appropriate use of antibiotics, especially colistin, which is now often considered a last resort therapy with extremely drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we developed a rapid, easy and miniaturized colistin susceptibility assay based on microfluidics, which allows for culture and high-throughput analysis of bacterial samples. Specifically, a simple microfluidic platform that can easily be operated was designed to encapsulate ...
