Physiology, functional genomics and proteomics of Verruconatronum alginivorum gen. nov., sp. nov., a first haloalkaliphilic representative of the phylum Verrucomicrobiota from soda habitats

The paper isolates and characterizes two haloalkaliphilic Verrucomicrobiota strains from soda habitats, describing their physiology, genomics, and proteomics, and proposes a new genus and species.

3C-seq-captured chromosome conformation of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermofilum adornatum

This study uses 3C-seq to analyze the chromosome conformation of Thermofilum adornatum, revealing a curved secondary diagonal and A/B compartments without observed loops or plaid patterns.
