Signatures of Microbial Diversity at Multiple Scales of Resolution within Engineered Enrichment Communities

The paper examines microbial diversity signatures in lab-scale and full-scale phosphorus removal communities across multiple phylogenetic scales.

Diversity, distribution, and expression of opsin genes in freshwater lakes

This study investigates opsin gene diversity, distribution, and expression in freshwater lakes, finding that opsin abundance correlates with lake optical properties and DOC levels, and highlights the role of rhodopsin-based phototrophy in clearwater lakes.

Disentangling the genetic basis of rhizosphere microbiome assembly in tomato

This study identifies genetic factors influencing rhizosphere microbiome assembly in tomato by linking plant QTLs to microbial gene functions.

Extracting the GEMs: Genotype, Environment and Microbiome interactions shaping host phenotypes

The paper expands the traditional GE model to include microbiome interactions (GEM) and demonstrates its application in disentangling contributions to host phenotypes.

Integrated ‘omic’ analyses provide evidence that a Ca. Accumulibacter phosphatis strain performs denitrification under micro-aerobic conditions

This study uses integrated omics analysis to show that an Accumulibacter strain can simultaneously respire oxygen and nitrate under micro-aerobic conditions, supporting denitrification.

acI Actinobacteria Assemble a Functional Actinorhodopsin with Natively-synthesized Retinal

This study demonstrates that acI Actinobacteria can synthesize retinal and assemble functional actinorhodopsins for proton pumping using genomic and heterologous expression analyses.
