The paper uses metagenomics to compare microbial communities in coastal and inland hypersaline lakes, finding higher connectivity and allopatric speciation in coastal systems.

The paper identifies ecological cohesiveness and homologous recombination as mechanisms maintaining microbial species and genomovars in two bacterial species.

This study assesses the prevalence and removal efficiency of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in two South African wastewater treatment plants across different treatment stages.

This study uses pan-genome-wide association analysis to identify genes linked to pathogenicity in Pantoea ananatis, revealing both known and novel genes associated with onion infection.
