Background The relationship between gastric microbiota composition, Helicobacter pylori infection, and eradication outcomes remains unclear. This study aims to explore the association of gastric microbiota composition among patients with refractory H. pylori infection with the outcomes of rescue therapy. Material and Methods Patients who failed to respond to second- or third-line eradication therapies were prospectively enrolled. The composition of the gastric microbiota was

Metabolomics of single-strain & co-cultures of 7 Fusarium strains causing Fusarium head blight reveals metabolic modifications induced by strain co-occurrence. FHB metabolomics reveals species‑specific biomarkers & interaction‑driven shifts in co‑cultures. Abstract Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease affecting cereal crops, mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium poae, Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium langsethiae, Fusarium sporo

Hadal microbes show distinct in situ activity, using refractory substrates & diverse electron acceptors to drive unique deep‑ocean biogeochemistry. Read full article for free (open access): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1931312826002829

Microbial communities shift with salinity and K⁺, altering succession & carbon‑use strategies across evaporation stages. Microbial community transition and carbon metabolism plasticity under continuous evaporative salinization in hypersaline brines HIGHLIGHT Microbial dominance shifted from Euryarchaeota to Proteobacteria, with increasing α-diversity. Potassium ion was a key driver, negatively regulating overall carbon metabolism but promoting amino acid utilization. Carbon m
