Growth substrate limitation enhances anaerobic arsenic methylation by Paraclostridium bifermentans strain EML

This study shows that growth substrate limitation enhances anaerobic arsenic methylation by Paraclostridium bifermentans strain EML through increased arsM gene expression and microbe-microbe competition.

Spatially explicit impact of enhanced leaf litter leaching on the forest soil microbiome

This study investigates how increased leaf litter leaching affects soil microbiome diversity, stability, and metabolic potential under varying environmental conditions.

Secondary bile acid production by gut bacteria promotes Western diet-associated colorectal cancer

The paper shows that secondary bile acids from gut bacteria worsen colorectal cancer in a Western diet model.

Strain-dependent induction of primary bile acid 7-dehydroxylation by cholic acid

This study shows that CA induces 7-dehydroxylation of CDCA and UDCA by C. scindens, but not by E. muris, indicating strain-dependent regulation of bai genes.

Meta-omics-aided isolation of an elusive anaerobic arsenic-methylating soil bacterium

The paper isolates an anaerobic arsenic-methylating bacterium using meta-omics approaches to overcome challenges in functional isolate identification.

Active anaerobic methane oxidation and sulfur disproportionation in the deep terrestrial subsurface

The paper demonstrates active anaerobic methane oxidation and sulfur disproportionation in deep terrestrial subsurface environments using metaproteogenomics and isotopic analysis.

Energy efficiency and biological interactions define the core microbiome of deep oligotrophic groundwater

The paper identifies a core microbiome in deep oligotrophic groundwater, showing cooperative microbial communities adapted to low-energy environments through ecological traits and partnerships.
