The paper shows that nematode communities and their associated microbiota, influenced by preceding plants, enhance tomato holobiont resistance to nematode parasites.

This study uses genome-resolved metagenomics to show that metal pollution from a copper-nickel mine in Botswana may lead to co-selection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and metal resistance genes (MRGs) in soil microbial communities.

This study identifies linear plasmids in six Rhizobiaceae strains, revealing their presence in nonpathogenic and plant tumorigenic bacteria and suggesting they may be more widespread than previously thought.
