The paper characterizes the microbiota of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii's phycosphere and finds it shares taxonomic and functional features with plant root microbiota.

The paper analyzes seasonal and diel patterns of marine viruses using size-fractionated water samples to infer potential host interactions and life history traits.

The paper identifies a novel marine cyanophage lineage with lysogenic potential linked to a Synechococcus prophage, using metagenomic data from the Red Sea and Tara Oceans.

The paper identifies a new family of marine anion-conducting channelrhodopsins (MerMAIDs) that rapidly desensitize under continuous light, enabling their use as optogenetic silencers.

The paper examines the functionality of nblA-like genes from marine cyanophages in a cyanobacterial knockout model, revealing a functional NblA and new insights into nblA gene distribution.

The paper examines the presence of heliorhodopsins in diderm bacteria using metagenomic data and finds they are absent, suggesting a possible role in light-driven transport of amphiphilic molecules.

This study identifies and characterizes cyanophage-encoded lipid desaturases, revealing their oceanic distribution, diversity, and role in modulating host membrane fluidity and photoprotection.

The paper identifies novel viruses infecting uncultured marine Group II Euryarchaeota using genome-centric metagenomics, revealing their abundance and potential ecological significance.
