The core microbiome of cultured Pacific oyster spat develops with age but not mortality

This study shows that the core microbiome of Pacific oyster spat develops with age but not mortality, and is influenced by environmental dispersal.

The Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Microbiome of Pacific Oyster Spat is Shaped by Ocean Warming but not Acidification

This study examines how ocean warming and acidification affect the microbiome of Pacific oyster spat, finding that warming alters microbiome composition while acidification does not.

Extracellular ribosomal RNA provides a window into taxon-specific microbial lysis

The paper uses extracellular ribosomal RNA to determine taxon-specific microbial lysis in coastal seawater, finding that rare bacteria experience higher lysis rates than abundant ones.

Arthropods and the evolution of RNA viruses

The paper identifies over 1400 new RNA viruses from arthropods, revealing their role in RNA virus evolution and co-evolution with hosts.

Eukaryotic virus composition can predict the efficiency of carbon export in the global ocean

This study links viral community composition to carbon export efficiency in the global ocean, finding that viral marker genes explain 67% of variation in CEE.

The use of CRISPR-Cas Selective Amplicon Sequencing (CCSAS) to reveal the eukaryotic microbiome of metazoans

The paper introduces CCSAS, a method to characterize eukaryotic microbiomes by removing host rDNA contamination, and shows it improves taxonomic resolution in metazoans.

From the inside out: An epibiotic Bdellovibrio predator with an expanded genomic complement

The paper describes Bdellovibrio qaytius, an epibiotic predator with a complex genome similar to periplasmic predators, suggesting epibiotic predation may be ancestral in the genus.
