Article Abstract
The phytopathogen was isolated from diseased plants of Madagascar periwinkle [ (L.) G. Don]. Here, we report the nucleotide sequence of the 1,791,576-bp circular chromosome and three plasmids of strain P40 This information serves as a resource for comparative analyses of spiroplasmal adaptations to diverse ecological niches.

It is known that probiotics have direct and indirect effects on many systems in the body, especially the gastrointestinal system. Interest in using probiotic strain-derived cell components and metabolites has also increased as a result of the significant benefits of probiotics. Although many terminologies and definitions are used for these components and metabolites, the International Scientific Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) recommended the use of the term postbiotic in 2021, which is defined as "a preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host".

Parasitic helminths are a major global health threat, infecting nearly one-fifth of the human population and causing significant losses in livestock and crops. Resistance to the few anthelmintic drugs is increasing. Here, we report a set of avocado fatty alcohols/acetates (AFAs) that exhibit nematocidal activity against four veterinary parasitic nematode species: Brugia pahangi, Teladorsagia circumcincta and Heligmosomoides polygyrus, as well as a multidrug resistant strain (UGA) of Haemonchus contortus.

The original 100.3 Mb reference genome for , generated from the wild-type laboratory strain N2, has been crucial for analysis of since 1998 and has been considered complete since 2005. Unexpectedly, this long-standing reference was shown to be incomplete in 2019 by a genome assembly from the N2-derived strain VC2010.

Lifeact is a short peptide that is widely utilized as a probe for actin filaments in live imaging. However, high concentrations of Lifeact can alter actin filament dynamics and cause artificial modifications to the actin cytoskeleton. Here, I evaluated strains expressing Lifeact fused to fluorescent proteins in the body wall muscle.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the role of a newly identified histone methyltransferase, SET-21, in the nuclear RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, which marks genes with H3K9me3, H3K23me3, and H3K27me3 for gene silencing.
- The researchers found that SET-21 cooperatively works with another methyltransferase, SET-32, to deposit H3K23me3 at targeted genes, enhancing germline stability and transgenerational gene silencing, especially under stress conditions.
- The double mutant strain, lacking both SET-21 and SET-32, shows greater germline mortality at high temperatures compared to single mutants, suggesting a significant role for these proteins
