Bacterial vitamin sharing emerges from a balance between release and uptake

The paper quantifies vitamin B12 synthesis and uptake in bacterial isolates, revealing strategies that govern extracellular B12 availability through a balance between release and uptake.

Cellular basis of B12 uptake and remodelling in microalgae revealed using a novel bioassay

The paper develops a novel bioassay to quantify B12 vitamers in microalgae and identifies proteins involved in B12 uptake and remodelling.

Topic modeling reveals thermally partitioned and taxonomically distinct microbial subcommunities across prokaryotes and phytoplankton in the Laurentian Great Lakes

The paper uses topic modeling to identify distinct microbial subcommunities in the Laurentian Great Lakes, showing they are organized by temperature and lake chemistry across different size fractions.

Learning functional groups in complex microbiomes

This paper introduces a neural-network based method to identify functional groups in microbiomes, showing it can distill complex communities into few groups that explain community function across different environments.

Illuminating microbial mat assembly: Cyanobacteria and Chloroflexota cooperate to structure light-responsive biofilms

This study investigates how cyanobacteria and Chloroflexota cooperate in forming microbial mats through motility and biofilm formation.
