The paper develops a high-resolution mass spectrometry method to quantify nitrogen-containing compounds across diverse systems, revealing microbiome impacts on nitrogen distribution in mice.

The paper identifies conserved bacterial genes responsible for thallusin biosynthesis, a morphogen that influences algal development across marine and terrestrial environments.

This study assesses the microbial biosynthetic potential of reef-building corals using genome-resolved metagenomics, revealing host-specific microbiomes with high biotechnological value.

This study shows that algal glycine betaine stimulates bacterial cobalamin production, creating a feedback loop that influences marine microbial interactions and productivity.

This study identifies Bmt as a methionine synthase that enables marine bacteria to shorten their lag phase by directly demethylating DMSP and betaine without requiring cofactors.
