Food-Allergic Children Harbour a Reduced Oral Bacterial Load, Giving Misleading 16S rRNA Amplicon Profiles

The paper reanalyzes oral microbiota data from food-allergic children using absolute abundance instead of relative abundance, revealing reduced bacterial load and altered functional predictions.

A Simple and Cost-Effective Protocol for Enriching 'Ca. Saccharimonadia' from Human Saliva to Enable Efficient Genome Sequencing

This paper develops a cost-effective protocol to enrich 'Ca. Saccharimonadia' from human saliva, enabling high-quality genome sequencing and metagenome-assembled genomes.

RecA is a reliable marker for bacterial taxonomy, even in the Candidate Phyla Radiation

This study introduces RecA as a reliable genetic marker for bacterial taxonomy, showing it provides accurate taxonomic annotation comparable to multi-gene approaches, especially for the Candidate Phyla Radiation.
