The paper analyzes single-cell genomes from Red Sea SAR11 and Prochlorococcus to assess if they harbor unique gene content, finding that most are cosmopolitan but some are regionally enriched.

This paper explores microbial biogeography in the human mouth, linking spatial patterns to periodontal diseases and proposing methods to test hypotheses about subgingival microbiota variation.

This study investigates how spore-forming bacteria in MS patients affect T lymphocyte differentiation and inflammation, showing impaired immunomodulatory responses in vitro.

The paper examines the microbiome of Hadza hunter-gatherers, finding seasonal changes and unique bacterial families compared to industrialized populations.

This study examines gut microbiota development in juvenile ostriches and links microbial changes to growth patterns during their first three months of life.

This study tracks bacterial community composition and dynamics over five years in eight freshwater bog lakes, revealing annual and seasonal trends and a core community of ubiquitous taxa.

The paper uses fluorescence microscopy and quantitative PCR to estimate microbial abundance in ants, showing gut bacterial density varies widely and correlates with herbivory in canopy-dwelling ants.
