The paper shows that Achromatium bacteria have genetically diverse chromosomes within cells, inherited by daughter cells, and that spatial segregation of chromosomes drives genomic variability.

This study examines fungal community assembly in Scandinavian lakes, finding low determinism and significant variability not explained by environmental factors or geographic distance.

The paper estimates bacterial diversity turnover in the Danube River, linking it to environmental factors and human impacts.

The paper presents a framework for exploring environmental microfungal diversity using serial single-cell screening and long-read sequencing to identify potentially new fungal taxa.

The paper investigates biotransformation of trace organic chemicals by microbial communities, identifying key genes, enzymes, and bacteria involved in their degradation.

This study combines 5.8S and ITS2 gene regions to improve fungal classification, showing better performance in underrepresented lineages compared to ITS2 alone.

The paper introduces ribosomal tandem repeat barcoding for fungi to generate comprehensive reference data using third-generation sequencing.

The paper updates Metaxa2 to support taxonomic classification using any genetic marker for metagenomic and metabarcoding data.
