The paper introduces dual-BONCAT, a method using two non-canonical amino acids to detect distinct metabolically active subpopulations in microbial communities, showing day- and night-active taxa in salt marsh sediments.

The paper introduces SoilMicrobeDB, a genome-based database improving metagenomic classification of soil microorganisms, particularly fungi and uncultivated taxa, and shows it enhances classification accuracy and fungal abundance estimates.
