Mitigating chromium (VI) toxicity through microbial and biotechnological innovations: a critical review - P. Singhal; V. Sharma; R. Kumar; A. A. M. Alkhanjaf; A. Umar; S. Baskoutas (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2026)
Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a prevalent and highly toxic environmental contaminant known for its persistence and severe ecological and health consequences. Its high solubility and mobility contribute to long-lasting pollution, while its carcinogenic properties pose significant risks to living organisms. Conventional physicochemical methods such as precipitation, ion exchange, and membrane filtration are employed for Cr (VI) removal but often suffer from drawbacks including high costs, incomplete elimination, and generation of secondary pollutants. In contrast, microbial and biotechnological methods offer sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives for detoxifying Cr (VI). This review focuses on microbial remediation strategies, including biosorption, bioaccumulation, biotransformation, and bioleaching, with particular attention to the roles of bacteria and fungi. Key factors discussed include microbial resistance genes and enzymatic systems that facilitate the reduction of Cr (VI) to the less harmful Cr (III). Advances in designing microbial consortia, understanding genetic regulation, and integrating bioprocess engineering are also explored to enhance remediation efficacy. Comparing traditional and biological approaches highlights the superior sustainability and scalability of microbial systems for large-scale environmental treatment. Innovations in microbial bioremediation through biotechnological approaches present a promising path forward for mitigating chromium pollution and restoring environmental health in contaminated ecosystems.

Lipidomic alterations in oysters caused by environmentally relevant exposure to microplastics and estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals - Sazal Kumar; Wayne O’Connor; Steven D. Melvin; Frederic D.L. Leusch; Allison C. Luengen; Rafiquel Islam; Chenglong Ji; Junfei Zhan; Geoff R. MacFarlane (Ecotoxicology, 2026)
There is a ubiquitous co-occurrence of microplastics (MPs) and estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDCs) in aquatic environments. Their combined presence may induce sub-lethal stress in aquatic organisms, like molluscs, which may adapt to the stress through adjusting the lipidome. This study explored the individual and combined effects of polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) and a mixture of EEDCs at environmentally realistic concentrations on the lipidome of the Sydney rock oyster ( Saccostrea glomerata ). After seven days exposure, lipids were measured in the digestive glands and gonads using proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) spectroscopy. Permutational analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) revealed the lipidome of oysters exhibited treatment differences with interactions between sex and tissue type. Subsequent post-hoc analysis revealed the male digestive gland to be significantly more responsive than the other tissues tested. An increase in cholesterols and aldehydes in all treatments compared to controls was ascribed to an adaptive response to transient oxidative stress in oysters, which was alleviated by increased food intake. There was a significantly greater effect of the EEDCs mixture than PE-MPs in oysters. The combined oxidative stress of PE-MPs and EEDCs from co-exposure did not exceed the individual effects of PE-MPs and EEDCs, which may relate to low exposure concentrations of PE-MPs, selective rejection of MPs in pseudofeces, or poor vector role of smooth surfaced PE-MPs.

Balancing risk and reward: Toward resilient human–primate coexistence in a rapidly changing environment in Sulawesi, Indonesia - Amanda L. Ellwanger; Kristen S. Morrow; Ashni Kumar Dhawale; Henry R. Scharf; Putu Oka Ngakan; Erin P. Riley (Ambio, 2026)
This study explores human–moor macaque ( Macaca maura ) coexistence in Sulawesi, Indonesia, using resilience thinking to assess temporal patterns of coadaptation amidst stressors such as provisioning and road construction. Comparing data from 2016–2017 to 2023–2025, we examine changes in provisioning patterns, macaque roadside use, and people’s perceptions of macaques to evaluate factors that may test the system’s resilience. Our results show that although provisioning frequency has remained stable, hand-feeding is increasingly common and macaques have increased their use of roadside habitat. Additionally, people’s perceptions have shifted from excitement and novelty to fear and normalization. Decreasing tolerance, coupled with increased risks associated with roadside behavior, highlights the system’s potential to transition to a state incompatible with coexistence. Our results can be leveraged to promote resilient coexistence, e.g., interventions that enable safer roadside crossing for the macaques and community outreach programs that make use of people’s empathy for the macaques’ welfare.

Aim Microbiome rewilding seeks to harness plant‐microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture, assuming that ancestral microbial partners have been lost during domestication and geographical spread. Designing microbiome rewilding strategies requires a quantitative and predictive understanding of the fundamental ecological processes—selection, dispersal, and drift—driving microbial assembly and persistence in the rhizosphere of crop wild progenitors (CWPs). Location Global. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Rhizosphere bacteria and fungi. Methods Here, we leveraged a global survey of the CWPs of 10 major crops across their native habitats to assess the roles of selection, dispersal, and drift in shaping rhizosphere microbial communities. We combined compositional and phylogenetic turnover metrics with local network analyses to evaluate community assembly and structure in response to environmental gradients. Results We found host‐driven selection, reflected by low phylogenetic turnover at the whole‐tree level, but also selection driven by differences among individual plants, as indicated by high turnover among closely related taxa. The high level of compositional turnover found suggests dispersal limitations, which in the context of CWPs, may indicate host‐mediated filtering of external microbial taxa. The network structure was constant across CWPs; however, bacterial and fungal structures diverged, pointing to distinct community organisations. Bacterial communities presented higher modularity and lower clustering than fungal communities. Climate, especially seasonal temperature and precipitation, was the main driver of both bacterial and fungal structures. However, host identity best predicted bacterial structure, while NDVI, a proxy for vegetation status, better explained fungal patterns. Main Conclusions Bacterial and fungal communities are shaped by consistent assembly processes across CWPs, but their structures diverge. With the identification of the assembly processes driving microbiome composition in the rhizosphere of CWPs, this work paves the road to incorporate microbiome rewilding in the toolbox of sustainable agriculture.

Climate-driven shifts in salinity regimes pose significant challenges to aquatic organisms, particularly those inhabiting dynamic coastal ecosystems. Etroplus suratensis (Pearl spot), a euryhaline cichlid capable of thriving across fresh, brackish, and marine environments, offers an excellent model for understanding molecular strategies underpinning salinity acclimation. This study investigated the transcriptomic reprogramming in the gills of fish acclimated for 21 days to freshwater (0‰), brackish water (18‰), and marine water (36‰) conditions. Freshwater exposure elicited a coordinated metabolic response characterized by activation of mitochondrial energy pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport, to support ATP-intensive ion uptake, alongside enhanced ion transport functions and epithelial remodeling. In contrast, marine water exposure triggered a more pronounced osmoregulatory shift, with activation of calcium-dependent exocytosis and vesicular trafficking pathways central to maintaining ion balance under high salinity. However, prolonged marine water exposure also led to suppression of key antioxidant and immune pathways, revealing a potential trade-off whereby resources are redirected toward ion regulation at the expense of physiological defense mechanisms. Concurrent enrichment of cortisol synthesis, autophagy, apoptosis, and other stress-responsive pathways further reflects cellular remodeling and adaptive stress management under salinity stress. Collectively, these results demonstrate the remarkable metabolic plasticity and molecular resilience of E. suratensis , highlighting its capacity to deploy distinct, context-dependent mechanisms to maintain homeostasis across fluctuating salinity environments.

Gonadal Stage Identification and Oocyte Size Measurement Using DL Integrated Ultrasonography in Asian Sea Bass Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790) - Thakkarajan Senthil Murugan; Dani Thomas; Aritra Bera; Marappan Makesh; R.

(New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2026)
This study investigated gonadal stages in Asian sea bass ( Lates calcarifer ) using portable ultrasonography (Sonosite Edge II, 6–13 MHz), with histological validation of female (primary oocyte, early vitellogenic, ripe) and male (ripe) stages. Distinct echogenicity patterns differentiated sexes, and ultrasound‐based gonad measurements showed strong correlations with actual dimensions (ovary length R 2 = 0.9942, ovary width R 2 = 0.9886, testis length R 2 = 0.9857, testis width R 2 = 0.9793). Deep learning models achieved 99.9% accuracy for sexual maturity prediction (DenseNet‐161) and 99.8% for sex classification (VGG16). CNN regression with L1 and L2 regularization was used to predict oocyte diameters. The MAE (mean absolute error) was 6.31 µm for minimum and 5.20 µm for maximum oocyte diameter, which is less than 1.82% of the actual oocyte diameter (256–544 µm). These results, along with averaging over 10‐fold and small confidence intervals, indicate the robustness of the classification and regression methods. This raises the possibility of automating the classification of the fish reproductive stage by combining deep learning with ultrasound technologies and further developing contactless underwater ultrasonographic assessment of gonadal maturation in commercially important fin fish species. It also reduces the dependency on experts to infer sexual maturation details from ultrasound scans. The developed machine learning model is deployed in real‐time processor, Nvidia Orin, through which real‐time testing is carried out and the results are validated.

Insights Into the Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Fusarium spp. Associated With Rice Bakanae Disease in Eastern and North‐Eastern India Using Microsatellite Markers - Raghu Shivappa; Prasanna S. Koti; Mathew S. Baite; B. Jeevan; C. Anilkumar; S. R. Prabhukarthikeyan; U. Keerthana; K. N. Shantha; Manas Kumar Bag; Shyamaranjan Das Mohapatra (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Bakanae disease of rice has emerged as a major threat in the rice‐growingregions of Eastern and Northeastern India. Under field conditions, Fusarium species associated with bakanae disease of rice exhibit a significant degree of variability. Characterizing the pathogen and its isolates is crucial for understanding this variability. This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity and virulence patterns among 88 Fusarium isolates, the causal agents of rice bakanae disease, collected from various locations across Eastern and Northeastern regions of India. The isolates showed a significant variation in their morphology and virulence pattern. The genetic variability among isolates was assessed using 19 microsatellite markers, all of which were successfully amplified across the isolates. The observed genetic diversity was significant, as indicated by Shannon's information index for marker alleles. Using the marker allele differences among the isolates, pathogen population was subdivided into two groups. The analysis of molecular variance among two subpopulations demonstrated lower variance among population than within population. These findings suggest that the studied pathogen population comprises genetically distinct strains, ranging from highly virulent to moderately virulent. This study enhances our understanding of the diversity and distribution of Fusarium isolates, providing valuable insights for strategic breeding programs and effective disease management strategies.

Expression of the P2X1 receptor remains in the type II spiral ganglion neurons in the mature rat cochlea - Prakansha N. Kumar; Srdjan M. Vlajkovic; Peter R. Thorne; Haruna Suzuki-Kerr (Purinergic Signalling, 2026)
Our sense of hearing commences in the cochlea, the peripheral sensory organ for hearing. Spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) in the cochlea are primary auditory neurons responsible for auditory neurotransmission. There are two classes of SGNs: type I SGNs, which make up 90-95% of the SGN population, and type II SGNs, which make up the remainder. Previous studies have shown that SGNs express a combination of purinergic (P2X, P2Y and adenosine) receptors at the mRNA and protein levels. In this study, we have focused on the P2X1 receptor to characterise its expression pattern in the Wistar rat cochlea at postnatal day 8 and in adult (6–8-week-old) rats of both genders using immunohistochemistry. Our results show differential expression of P2X1 receptors in 9.4-14.2% of SGNs in the adult cochlea, and 14.2-23.3% in the cochlea of P8 pups. In most of these neurons, P2X1 receptors were co-expressed with peripherin-1, an established type II SGN marker. These results suggest a potential role for the P2X1 receptor as a modulator of auditory neurotransmission in type II spiral ganglion neurons.

Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile compounds produced by aromatic plants and widely used in personal care, food flavoring, and pharmaceutical industry due to their odor and therapeutic properties. As a high-value and low-volume organic product, optimizing plant yield and modifying composition by leveraging knowledge on chemical profiles of essential oils can lead to enhanced bioproducts. Additionally, overharvesting of wild medicinal plants, especially in India, threatens biodiversity. Essential oil profiles of such plants can help regulate their exploitation. Here, we present sCentInDB, a manually curated FAIR-compliant DataBase of Essential oil Chemical profiles of Medicinal plants of India, compiled from published literature. sCentInDB contains data on 554 Indian medicinal plants at the plant part level, encompassing 2170 essential oil profiles, 3420 chemicals, 471 plant-part-therapeutic use associations, 120 plant-part-odor associations, and 218 plant-part-color associations. sCentInDB also compiles metadata such as sample location, isolation, and analysis methods. Subsequently, an extensive analysis of the chemical space in sCentInDB was performed. By constructing a chemical similarity network, terpenoids were found to be distributed across the network, indicating greater structural diversity. Moreover, a comparison of the scaffold diversity of chemicals in sCentInDB was performed against three other aroma libraries using cyclic system retrieval curves. Altogether, sCentInDB will serve as a valuable resource for researchers working on plant volatiles and employing genetic engineering to enhance oil yield and composition. Further, sCentInDB will aid in the establishment of quality standards for essential oils and provide vital insights for therapeutic and perfumery applications. sCentInDB is accessible at https://cb.imsc.res.in/scentindb/ .

The 4E-BPs as Translational Regulators in Neurological Disorders: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential - Sindhu S.

Protein translation is essential for maintaining the optimal functioning of the human nervous system. The 4E-Binding proteins (4E-BPs) are central regulators of this process, acting on the initiation factor eIF4E. Three homologs 4E-BP1, 4E-BP2, and 4E-BP3, are differentially expressed, with the phosphorylation state controlling cap-dependent translation in response to diverse physiological inputs, including growth factors, cytokines, hormones, nutrient availability, and signaling cascades converging on kinases such as mTOR. Dysregulation of 4E-BP activity has been implicated in multiple disease contexts, including neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease), neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., Autism spectrum disorder, Epilepsy), neuropsychiatric conditions (e.g., Depression, Schizophrenia), and autoimmune diseases (e.g., Multiple sclerosis, Guillain–Barré syndrome). We aim to explore the importance of 4E-BPs through a neurological perspective and understand their role as therapeutic targets. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the three 4E-BP homologs in the central nervous system, emphasizing the CNS-specific dominance of 4E-BP2 and its link to synaptic plasticity and cognitive function. We further examine and provide mechanistic insights into how 4E-BPs contribute to disease pathogenesis, highlighting both shared and disorder-specific features. Finally, we discuss current therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating the mTOR/4E-BP axis, outline the limitations of existing approaches and identify emerging avenues for drug development. Together, these perspectives underscore the potential of 4E-BPs as both therapeutic targets and biomarkers in neurological disease.

Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities. Large‐brained, long‐lived animals such as marine mammals often have extensive capability to adaptively modify their behavior due to their cognition, which comprises the mechanisms of information acquisition, processing, and flexible action. Consequently, current behavior need not be a final predictor of future behavior for these animals. This flexibility provides an underutilized and under examined point of leverage for humans interested in improving life outcomes for wild animals. In this team‐written, interdisciplinary paper, we argue that application of cognitive approaches may facilitate many conservation efforts directed toward marine mammals. Starting with a workshop on this topic at the 24th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals, scientists representing a wide range of disciplinary expertise addressed eight different conservation concerns for six marine mammal species and provided potential cognitive explanations of and interventions aimed at related behavior. Our treatment highlights the value of integrated laboratory and field research, and the importance of tight lines of communication between scientists and conservation managers.
