The paper improves 16S rRNA gene primers to better detect Patescibacteria in wastewater treatment plants, revealing their global diversity and potential ecological roles.

This study benchmarks long-read sequencing and ASV-resolving tools for accurate rRNA operon recovery from environmental microeukaryotes using a synthetic mock community.

The paper expands the MiDAS database with global anaerobic digester microbiome data, revealing environmental influences on microbial communities and identifying core taxa.

This paper introduces an experimental method to isolate previously uncultured microbial species from activated sludge using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, resulting in the cultivation of 102 strains from 200 colonies.

This study investigates how microbial selection influences extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production in granular sludge, showing that slow-growing organisms enhance granulation and EPS formation.

This paper re-evaluates the phylogeny and taxonomy of Candidatus Accumulibacter using genome, ppk1, and 16S rRNA gene data, identifying 15 new species and confirming PAO metabolism across all species.
