Single-colony sequencing reveals phylosymbiosis, co-phylogeny, and horizontal gene transfer between the cyanobacterium Microcystis and its microbiome

O. M. Perez-Carrascal, N. Tromas, Y. Terrat, E. Moreno, A. Giani, L. C. Braga Marques, N. Fortin, B. J. Shapiro

The paper analyzes genomic data from Microcystis colonies and their microbiomes to reveal phylosymbiosis, co-phylogeny, and horizontal gene transfer patterns.

Coherence of Microcystis species revealed through population genomics

O. M. Perez-Carrascal, Y. Terrat, A. Giani, N. Fortin, C. W. Greer, N. Tromas, B. J. Shapiro

This study uses population genomics to show Microcystis species are not coherent, with genomic clusters suggesting species boundaries and gene flow barriers, but also local adaptation through horizontal gene transfer.

Niche separation increases with genetic distance among bloom-forming cyanobacteria

N. Tromas, Z. E. Taranu, B. D. Martin, A. Willis, N. Fortin, C. W. Greer, B. J. Shapiro

The paper examines niche separation among bloom-forming cyanobacteria, finding that niche similarity declines with genetic distance, but some traits show complex relationships.

Characterizing and predicting cyanobacterial blooms in an 8-year amplicon sequencing time-course

N. Tromas, N. Fortin, L. Bedrani, Y. Terrat, P. Cardoso, D. Bird, C. W. Greer, B. J. Shapiro

This study uses 16S amplicon sequencing to analyze cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Champlain over 8 years, finding that blooms can be predicted with high accuracy using sequence data.
