Transformation of the drug ibuprofen by Priestia megaterium: Reversible glycosylation and generation of hydroxylated metabolites

This paper identifies two main biotransformation pathways of ibuprofen by Priestia megaterium, including hydroxylation and reversible glycosylation, and shows their potential role in detoxification.

The microbiome of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria varies according to climate in Europe

This study examines how the bacterial microbiome of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria varies with climate across Europe, finding that climatic factors explain more variation than local weather or sampling season.

Marine particle microbiomes during a spring diatom bloom contain active sulfate-reducing bacteria

The paper analyzes marine particle microbiomes during a spring diatom bloom and identifies active sulfate-reducing bacteria in the particulate fraction.

Work horse strain Clostridioides difficile 630Δerm is oblivious to its anaerobic lifestyle

The study shows that the C. difficile strain 630Δerm has a mutation in PerR that causes oxidative stress response under anaerobic conditions, challenging its use as a model strain.

A robust metaproteomics pipeline for a holistic taxonomic and functional characterization of microbial communities from marine particles

This paper develops a robust metaproteomics pipeline for analyzing marine particle-associated bacteria, identifying over 5,000 protein groups and revealing functional differences between free-living and particle-associated communities.

Effects on cell viability, growth and morphology of C. albicans SC5314 biofilms after kINPen(R)09 plasma treatment

This study investigates the effects of kINPen(R)09 plasma treatment on C. albicans biofilms, showing reduced viability, growth, and metabolism, with morphological changes indicating membrane disruption.

Inter- and intra-domain functional redundancy in the rumen microbiome during plant biomass degradation

The paper examines functional redundancy in the cow rumen microbiome during plant biomass degradation, finding that methyl-reducing methanogens are strongly correlated with methane emissions.
