Author summary Microorganisms need two things to grow: energy and carbon. Catabolism supplies energy (e.g., ATP and NAD(P)H) and carbon (a set of precursor molecules) to anabolism. In microbiology, finding out how much ATP and how many (and which) precursors are required per unit biomass has been a central challenge for decades. We developed a method to decompose a metabolic network (e.g., a genome-scale stoichiometric model) into energy catabolism, precursor catabolism and anabolism. We aimed to make microbial biodiversity intelligible by comparing the bioenergetic and anabolic parameters across conditions and species. We found that the diversity is not reduced by disentangling metabolism into (energy and precursor) catabolism and anabolism. Rather, we found cases where almost all ATP was made in precursor synthesis and none in energy catabolism. Also, the precursor sets varied greatly in size and only a single precursor molecule was common across all studied cases. All of this is explained by the underlying biochemical details, which is the diversity we started with. Thus, our current concepts of catabolism and anabolism, and associated quantitative frameworks, do not reduce the complexity of microbial biodiversity and do not make it more intelligible in simple coarse-grained metabolic terms. The answers are in the biochemistry.

Under pressure from a changing climate, vineyards are finding natural ways to fortify their soil and protect water supplies, showing conservation and farming can thrive together.

A biodiversity crisis is unfolding across the planet, but the deep sea was thought immune and even a refuge for marine life. New research led by Florida International University scientists and published in Nature Communications suggests that assumption may be alarmingly wrong.

Haryana’s Haritima programme will take Classes 6-10 students to Aravalis for nature camps and guided forest learning on biodiversity and conservation in 2026-27.

Researchers at the University of Tartu have shown that everyday cameras can create detailed, explorable 3D models of plants, giving botanical gardens and museums an affordable way to document and preserve living collections. The study, by Toivo Aukusti Ylinampa and Urmas Kõljalg, was published in the Biodiversity Data Journal.

October sees rare migratory birds returning to Tiruchi, boosting biodiversity with 300+ species and highlighting climate-change-driven patterns.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — More than a century’s worth of knowledge and information on tropical forest biodiversity and science from the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM)...

Today, tropical waters typically host a wider range of marine animals than polar waters. This decline in marine biodiversity from the equator toward the North and South poles is known as the latitudinal diversity gradient.

A major salt marsh restoration project at Great Meadows Marsh in Connecticut is showing promising results for coastal wildlife and biodiversity. After a $4.65 million rehabilitation effort, the 34-acre wetland has seen the return of endangered saltmarsh sparrows and the growth of native marsh plants. The project highlights how wetland restoration, coastal conservation and habitat recovery can protect biodiversity, reduce flood risks and create healthier ecosystems amid rising sea levels.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the recently concluded 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, a special screening event-jointly presented by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment and Shanghai Media Group-focused on urban ecological governance and prompted deep reflection among the international delegates in attendance. The nature and human-interest documentary My City Neighbours transcends national borders, presenting the world with a 'Shanghai solution'-a model for how a megacity can coexist in harmony with nature. Although the event has concluded, the ripples it stirred on the international stage-centered on the theme of 'cross-disciplinary symbiosis'-continue to spread and evolve.

Five new free-living nematode species discovered in Keralam mangrove sediments highlight hidden coastal biodiversity and conservation needs.

Author summary Iridoviruses are emerging pathogens which cause high mortality rates in the aquaculture industry, and significantly threaten global biodiversity. Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a pathogenic DNA virus which caused high mortality in juvenile grouper. This study demonstrated that SGIV VP018 hijacked fish specific TRIM (FTR) from grouper (EcFTR86) and acted synergistically to promote viral replication. Mechanistically, lysosome localized EcFTR86 functioned as a pro-viral factor upon SGIV replication and negatively regulated interferon (IFN) response triggered by the STING-TBK1 axis. Moreover, EcFTR86 interacted and degraded STING or TBK1 via Tollip-mediated autophagy-lysosome-dependent pathway. Interestingly, SGIV VP018 was identified to hijack EcFTR86 to accelerate the degradation of STING and TBK1, thereby abrogating the IFN response for efficient replication. Our findings provide the first evidence that fish iridovirus exploited FTR86 to negatively regulate IFN response through Tollip-mediated degradation of the STING-TBK1 axis.
