Aerobic GenX Defluorination by a Wastewater Cladosporium halotolerans Strain with a Genomically Expanded Haloacid Dehalogenase Repertoire

This paper identifies a wastewater Cladosporium halotolerans strain capable of aerobically degrading GenX, a PFAS, through a genomically expanded haloacid dehalogenase repertoire and a phased transcriptional program.

Machine Learning-Guided Synthetic Microbial Communities Enable Functional and Sustainable Degradation of Persistent Environmental Pollutants

The paper develops GENIA, a machine learning framework for designing synthetic microbial communities that degrade multiple persistent pollutants more effectively than existing methods.

Uncovering the Genomic and Phenotypic Landscape of Nitrogen-Fixing Rhizobium miluonense WD29 in Free-Living Conditions

This study characterizes the genomic and phenotypic features of Rhizobium miluonense WD29, showing its nitrogen fixation capabilities and potential as a biofertilizer for maize.

Domestication Compromised Microbiome-Mediated Resistance to Western Corn Rootworm in Maize

This study identifies microbiome-mediated resistance to Western corn rootworm in maize, showing that domestication reduces plant-microbiome interactions critical for defense.

Microbiome differentiation between micro-sympatric maize and teosinte reveals domestication-driven functional erosion of the microbiome across plant compartments

This study compares microbiomes of domesticated maize and its wild ancestor teosinte across plant compartments, finding reduced diversity and functional capacity in maize due to domestication.
