This study tests an automated eDNA sampler in various aquatic environments, showing it can effectively profile eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and fish using ribosomal RNA genes and detect taxonomic groups and antimicrobial resistance genes.

This study isolates and characterizes Thalassolituus haligoni, a non-cyanobacterial diazotroph, revealing its N2 fixation capabilities and growth preferences.

The paper compares the spatio-temporal dynamics and composition of size-fractionated and unfractionated microbial communities in the Northwestern Atlantic, finding that de-fractionating samples before or after sequencing closely resembles unfractionated samples.

The paper uses targeted metagenomics to analyze UCYN-A and its algal host in coastal Northwest Atlantic waters, revealing pangenomic diversity and co-occurring microbes.
