With a pinch of salt: metagenomic insights into Namib Desert salt pan microbial mats and halites reveal functionally adapted and competitive communities

L. Martinez-Alvarez, J.-B. Ramond, C. Leon-Sobrino, S. Vikram, G. Maggs-Kölling, D. A. Cowan

This study uses shotgun metagenomics to characterize microbial communities in Namib Desert salt pans and halites, revealing distinct taxonomic and functional profiles and novel viral and gene transfer elements.

Temporal dynamics of microbial transcription in wetted hyperarid desert soils

C. Leon-Sobrino, J.-B. Ramond, C. Coclet, R.-M. Kapitango, G. Maggs-Kölling, D. A. Cowan

The paper examines microbial transcriptional responses in hyperarid desert soils after simulated rainfall, identifying key functional shifts and a dispersal-predation dynamic.

Phages actively challenge niche communities in the Antarctic soils

O. K. I. Bezuidt, P. H. Lebre, R. Pierneef, C. Leon-Sobrino, E. M. Adriaenssens, D. A. Cowan, Y. Van de Peer, T. P. Makhalanyane

The paper provides the first evidence of widespread antiphage innate immunity in Antarctic hypolith communities, showing phages actively challenge niche communities through dynamic host-phage interactions.

Nutrient acquisition, rather than stress response over diel cycles, drives microbial transcription in a dessicated Namib Desert soil

C. Leon-Sobrino, J.-B. Ramond, G. Maggs-Kölling, D. A. Cowan

The paper analyzes metatranscriptomic data from a hyperarid desert soil, finding that nutrient acquisition, not diurnal stress responses, drives microbial activity.
