The paper introduces the SAR11 Genome Atlas, a resource integrating SAR11 genomes and functional data to support ecological and genomic analysis of oceanic bacteria.

The paper identifies a novel dominant symbiont in deep-sea holothurians, characterizes its genome and spatial distribution, and explores its evolutionary adaptations at the host interface.

This study uses AI to design novel microbial rhodopsins that absorb blue light and enhance bacterial growth.

MitoNGS improves fish metabarcoding analysis by enhancing reference databases and introducing a species group strategy to resolve ambiguous taxa.

This study investigates the function of the unknome in SAR11 clade bacteria, identifying genes involved in substrate uptake, nucleotide utilization, and antiviral defense, providing insights into their ecological success.

The paper shows carotenoids enhance rhodopsin light utilization by accelerating photocycles and light-harvesting in marine bacteria.

This study reveals the unidirectional chloride transport mechanism in NM-R3 using TR-SFX, showing conformational changes and halide binding site insights.
