Salt concentration in substrate modulates the composition of bacterial and yeast microbiomes of .

Microbiomes influence the physiology and behavior of multicellular organisms and contribute to their adaptation to changing environmental conditions. However, yeast and bacterial microbiota have usually been studied separately; therefore, the interaction between bacterial and yeast communities in the gut of () is often overlooked. In this study, we investigate the correlation between bacterial and yeast communities in the gut of .

Laser-assisted bioprinting of microorganisms with hydrogel microdroplets: peculiarities of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota yeast transfer.

Laser-assisted bioprinting of microbial cells by hydrogel microdroplets is a rapidly developing and promising field that can contribute to solving a number of issues in microbiology and biotechnology. To date, most research on the use of laser bioprinting for microorganism manipulation and sorting has focused on prokaryotes; the bioprinting of eukaryotic microorganisms is much less understood. The use of hydrogel allows solving two fundamental problems: creating comfortable environments for living microorganisms and imparting the necessary rheological properties of the gel for the stable transfer of microdroplets of a preset size.

Entropy as a High-Level Feature for XAI-Based Early Plant Stress Detection.

This article is devoted to searching for high-level explainable features that can remain explainable for a wide class of objects or phenomena and become an integral part of explainable AI (XAI). The present study involved a 25-day experiment on early diagnosis of wheat stress using drought stress as an example. The state of the plants was periodically monitored via thermal infrared (TIR) and hyperspectral image (HSI) cameras.

Ogataea cecidiorum sp. nov., a methanol-assimilating yeast isolated from galls on willow leaves.

Ten strains of a new endophytic ascospore-forming, methanol-assimilating yeast were isolated from the galls induced by sawflies on the leaves of willows in the Losiny Ostrov National Park (Moscow region). Standard phenotypical tests and phylogenetic analyses of 18S rRNA gene, 5.8S-ITS gene region and 26S rRNA gene (D1/D2 domains) sequences showed that the species belongs to the genus Ogataea.
