Seasonal succession of nano- and picoplankton communities in Lake Constance: conserved dynamics despite compositional shifts under contrasting mixing and oxygen regimes

The paper examines seasonal plankton community changes in Lake Constance, finding conserved dynamics despite environmental shifts in mixing and oxygen levels.

A Family VIII Esterase with Dual Activities: Bioplastic Depolymerization and Beta-Lactam Antibiotics Hydrolysis

The paper identifies a family VIII esterase with dual activity as a plastic depolymerase and beta-lactam hydrolase in forest soil microbial communities.

Seasonal genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of a cosmopolitan freshwater diatom

The paper investigates seasonal genotypic and phenotypic differentiation in Asterionella formosa, finding that seasonal shifts are driven by biotic interactions rather than environmental parameters.

Sulfoquinovose is exclusively metabolized by the gut microbiota and degraded differently in mice and humans

This study shows that sulfoquinovose is not metabolized by mice or humans but is degraded by gut microbiota, with differences in degradation pathways between mice and humans.

Extensive richness and novel taxa of sulfoquinovose-degrading bacteria in the cow rumen

This study identifies high richness and novel taxa of sulfoquinovose-degrading bacteria in cow rumen using yihQ-targeted amplicon sequencing and metagenomics.

Microbial sedimentary DNA from a cultural landscape disentangles the impacts of humans and nature over the past 13.5 thousand years

This study uses sedimentary DNA from Lake Constance to analyze microbial changes over 13.5 thousand years, showing how both natural and human factors shaped microbial communities.
