This paper uses stable isotope fingerprinting to link gut microbiota to their carbon sources and shows diet-induced substrate switching in vivo.

This study identifies apoptosis inhibitors in an intranuclear bacterial parasite of deep-sea mussels, showing they acquired these genes via horizontal transfer from their hosts.

The paper shows that historical soil moisture conditions influence maize growth and root microbiome composition under drought, with wetter soils improving drought tolerance.

This study identifies pseudo-pac site sequences in Salmonella genomes that enable P22 phage to initiate generalized transduction, using bioinformatics analysis of sequencing data.

This study evaluates seed sterilization protocols for two maize varieties, finding that different protocols are needed for different genotypes and seed sources to prevent fungal contamination.

The paper compares DNA metabarcoding and metaproteomics in stool to assess dietary intake, finding both methods identify similar food taxa and provide distinct protein-based distinctions.

The paper investigates how Enterococcus faecalis protease GelE affects phage infection, finding that its reduction increases phage susceptibility and alters biofilm formation.

The paper uses metagenomics and metaproteomics to study microbial communities at a CO2-rich geyser, finding photosynthesis and phosphorus limitation may influence MICP.

The paper identifies nitrogen fixation genes in deep-sea Ca. Thiodiazotropha symbionts of Lucinoma kazani but finds no expression of these genes, while highlighting high expression of carbon fixation and sulfur oxidation genes.

This study evaluates frozen SynCom stocks for maize root colonization, finding they are as effective as fresh SynComs in reproducibility and colonization ability.

The paper investigates carbon fixation efficiency in sulfur-oxidizing symbionts using single-cell analyses and metabolic modeling, finding that stored sulfur and polyhydroxyalkanoate contribute to energy and reducing equivalents for carbon fixation.

This study identifies host-symbiont interaction mechanisms in Riftia pachyptila by analyzing transcriptome and metaproteomic data under different energy conditions.

The paper identifies two intracellular bacteria in Trichoplax H2, showing they live in symbiosis with the host and have distinct metabolic roles.

MetaAmp is a pipeline for analyzing amplicon sequencing data, offering quality control, clustering, and diversity metrics using UPARSE, Mothur, and SILVA, with web and command line interfaces.
