Gene copy normalization of the 16S rRNA gene cannot outweigh the methodological biases of sequencing

R. Starke, D. Morais

This study shows that gene copy normalization (GCN) of the 16S rRNA gene only partially corrects sequencing biases in low-diversity communities, suggesting GCN may not reliably improve accuracy in most cases.

The total fungal microbiome functionality

R. Starke, P. Capek, D. Morais, N. Jehmlich, P. Baldrian

The paper predicts the total fungal microbiome functionality using 377 annotated fungal genomes, finding 42.4 million functions with only 0.06% known, highlighting the need for new methods to explore rare functions.

The gill-associated symbiont microbiome is a main source of woody-plant polysaccharide hydrolase genes and secondary metabolite gene clusters in Neoteredo reynei, a unique shipworm from south Atlantic mangroves.

This study uses metagenomics to show that the gill-associated symbionts of Neoteredo reynei harbor genes for wood-degrading enzymes and secondary metabolites, highlighting their biotechnological potential.
