Gut microbial disruption in critically ill patients with COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis

This study investigates the gut and bronchial microbiota in critically ill COVID-19 patients with and without CAPA, finding reduced gut diversity and increased Staphylococcus epidermidis in CAPA patients.

Gut Bacterial Dysbiosis and Instability is Associated with the Onset of Complications and Mortality in COVID-19

The paper analyzes gut and oral microbiota in COVID-19 patients to show associations between microbial dysbiosis, complications, and mortality.

Vibrio cholerae biofilm dispersal regulator causes cell release from matrix through type IV pilus retraction

This study identifies VbdR as a regulator of Vibrio cholerae biofilm dispersal, showing it induces type IV pilus retraction and matrix protease expression to release cells from the biofilm matrix.

Spatial alanine metabolism determines local growth dynamics of Escherichia coli colonies

This study investigates spatial alanine metabolism in E. coli biofilms, revealing distinct metabolic roles in different regions that influence colony growth and morphology.

Shadow ORFs illuminated: long overlapping genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are translated and under purifying selection

The paper identifies two long overlapping genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that are translated and under purifying selection, expanding understanding of prokaryotic genomic complexity.

Evidence for Numerous Embedded Antisense Overlapping Genes in Diverse E. coli Strains

The paper identifies numerous embedded antisense overlapping genes in E. coli strains using RNAseq and ribosome profiling, suggesting they may be functionally significant and underappreciated in genome annotation.

Are Antisense Proteins in Prokaryotes Functional?

The paper investigates whether antisense proteins in prokaryotes are functional, finding evidence supporting their utility and suggesting they should be included in genome annotations.

Arrhythmic gut microbiome signatures for risk profiling of Type-2 Diabetes

The paper identifies arrhythmic gut microbiome signatures associated with Type-2 Diabetes risk and validates them in a separate cohort.

A novel pH-regulated, unusual 603 bp overlapping protein coding gene pop is encoded antisense to ompA in Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC)

The paper identifies a novel pH-regulated, antisense protein-coding gene overlapping ompA in E. coli O157:H7, showing translation and a pH-dependent phenotype.
