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.

The evolution of realized niches within freshwater Synechococcus

N. Tromas, Z. E. Taranu, M. Castelli, J. S. M. Pimentel, D. A. Pereira, R. Marcoz, B. J. Shapiro, A. Giani

This study investigates how closely-related Synechococcus taxa share similar ecological niches in freshwater environments, finding that co-occurrence patterns suggest phylogenetic conservation of realized niches over evolutionary time.

Two cases of type-a Haemophilus influenzae meningitis within the same week in the same hospital are phylogenetically unrelated but recently exchanged capsule genes

Y. Terrat, L. Farnaes, J. Bradley, N. Tromas, B. J. Shapiro

This paper reports two unrelated H. influenzae meningitis cases in the same hospital, showing they were not part of a local outbreak but instead involved horizontal gene transfer of capsule genes, enabling vaccine evasion.

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.

Ecological selection of siderophore-producing microbial taxa in response to heavy metal contamination

E. Hesse, S. O'Brien, N. Tromas, F. Bayer, A. Lujan, E. van Veen, D. Hodgson, A. Buckling

The paper examines how heavy metal contamination influences siderophore production in microbial communities, finding increased production in contaminated environments.

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.
