Virus diversity and activity is driven by snowmelt and host dynamics in a high-altitude watershed soil ecosystem

c. coclet, P. O. Sorensen, U. Karaoz, S. Wang, E. L. Brodie, E. A. A. Eloe-Fadrosh, S. Roux

This study examines viral diversity and activity in a high-altitude watershed soil ecosystem, revealing seasonal shifts in phage activity and virus-host dynamics linked to environmental and host factors.

Influence of root cortical aerenchyma on the rhizosphere microbiome of field-grown maize

T. Galindo-Castaneda, C. M. Rojas Alvarado, U. Karaoz, E. L. Brodie, K. Brown, J. Lynch

This study investigates how root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) affects rhizosphere microbial communities in maize, finding RCA explains more variance in microbial composition in South Africa than genotype.

Life history strategies and niches of soil bacteria emerge from interacting thermodynamic, biophysical, and metabolic traits

G. L. Marschmann, J. Tang, K. Zhalnina, U. Karaoz, H. Cho, B. Le, J. Pett-Ridge, E. L. Brodie

The paper predicts life history traits of soil bacteria based on thermodynamic, biophysical, and metabolic traits, showing growth efficiency becomes more important later in plant growth.

Sympatric and allopatric differentiation delineates population structure in free-living terrestrial bacteria

A. B. Chase, P. Arevalo, E. L. Brodie, M. F. Polz, U. Karaoz, J. B. H. Martiny

The paper examines genetic differentiation in free-living soil bacteria across a climate gradient, finding evidence for both isolation-by-environment and isolation-by-distance.
