Reversible fixation of microbial cells for targeted genomics

This paper introduces DSP as a reversible fixative for microbial cells that enables fluorescence imaging and DNA extraction, improving targeted microbial genomics.

Thermal stress disrupts microbial symbiosis and host activity in the model sponge Ianthella basta

This study examines how thermal stress affects microbial symbiosis and host activity in the sponge Ianthella basta, showing tissue regression, symbiont loss, and microbial shifts under elevated temperatures.

The planktonic microbiome of the Great Barrier Reef

The paper presents a microbial genomes database for the Great Barrier Reef, highlighting underrepresented prokaryotic and viral genomes and their utility in predicting reef management impacts.
