This study tracks microbial dynamics during drought and rewetting in soybean soils, identifying Trinickia as a key genus linked to drought resilience.

The paper identifies diverse mobile genetic elements in Xanthomonas species and their role in adaptive traits through comparative genomic analysis.

This study identifies novel antimicrobial resistance genes in environmental samples using a gene capture and functional screening platform.

This study shows that microbial functional shifts after revegetation occur in distinct phases, with early changes in soil health processes and later development of plant growth-promoting traits.

This study analyzes integron distribution and evolution across Xanthomonas genomes, finding ancient acquisition, lineage-specific inactivation, and functional diversity in some species.

EcoFoldDB-annotate improves metagenomic function annotation by using protein structure and outperforms sequence-based methods, enabling ecological insights from microbial genomes.

The paper shows agriculture increases positive selection on nitrate reduction genes in soil bacteria globally, altering protein evolution in key microbial processes.
