Article Abstract
Commensal bacteria produce a diverse array of glycosylated molecules, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, peptidoglycan, capsular polysaccharides, and exopolysaccharides, which play fundamental roles in host-microbe interactions. Recent advances have highlighted the intricate mechanisms by which bacterial glycosylation contributes to immune regulation, epithelial barrier integrity, and microbial community stability, with implications for a range of conditions, including infectious diseases, chronic inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Alzheimer's disease, and metabolic diseases such as diet-induced obesity. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of historical and recent insights into commensal bacterial glycosylation, emphasizing its role as a key mediator of host-bacteria interactions and its broader impact on gut homeostasis and systemic health.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic drugs developed using phlorizin, a natural glucoside, as the lead compound. Chemical glycosylation requires multi-step reactions involving protection and deprotection steps, posing challenges in terms of regioselectivity and environmental burden due to the use of hazardous reagents and harsh conditions. In contrast, enzymatic glycosylation using UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs) enables regio- and stereoselective glycosylation under mild conditions without protection and deprotection steps.

The subclass Peritrichia encompasses over 1,000 species of ciliates, demonstrating both wide distribution and significant morphological diversity across aquatic environments. Despite their ecological significance and unique biological attributes, genomic information for peritrichs has remained sparse. This study aimed to fill this gap by sequencing the genomes of seven distinct species of peritrich ciliates and employing advanced genomic technologies to investigate their metabolic characteristics, functional diversity and evolutionary relationships.

Streptomyces bambergiensis AC-800 is known as a producer of moenomycin family antibiotics active against gram-positive bacteria. Complete genome sequencing of S. bambergiensis revealed 3 replicons represented by the linear chromosome (7,652,101 bp) and two linear plasmids, pSB1 (418,507 bp) and pSB2 (81,486 bp).

Cyanobacteria are vital photosynthetic prokaryotes, but some form harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) that disrupt ecosystems and produce toxins. The mechanisms by which these blooms form have yet to be fully understood, particularly the role of extracellular components. Here, we present a 2.
