Discovery and characterisation of new phage targeting uropathogenic Escherichia coli

This study identifies and characterizes six new phages targeting uropathogenic Escherichia coli, showing host range correlation with tail fiber proteins and improved efficacy in mixed infections.

Novel, active, and uncultured hydrocarbon degrading microbes in the ocean

This study identifies novel hydrocarbon-degrading microbes in the ocean using metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, revealing clade-specific degradation capabilities in uncultured microbes.

The upper respiratory tract microbiome of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in ear and nose health and disease.

This study examines nasal microbiota in Indigenous Australian children, finding associations between specific bacterial taxa and otitis media status and nose health.

New insights into the influence of plant and microbial diversity on denitrification rates in a salt marsh

The paper examines how plant and microbial diversity affect denitrification rates in salt marsh sediments, finding higher rates in Juncus compared to Spartina.

TET2 binding to enhancers facilitates transcription factor recruitment in hematopoietic cells

This study shows TET2 binding to enhancers in hematopoietic cells supports transcription factor recruitment, and its loss disrupts chromatin binding of CDX4, linking epigenetic regulation to disease.
