Prescribed Burns Drive Lasting Changes in Soil Nitrogen Cycling and Microbial Function

This study shows that repeated prescribed burns lead to long-term changes in soil nitrogen cycling and microbial function, not just short-term effects.

Genome-resolved insights into microbial diversity and elemental cycling in Winogradsky columns

This study uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to analyze microbial communities in Winogradsky columns, revealing diverse metabolic pathways and potential roles in carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen cycling.

Contrasting effects of glutamate and branched-chain amino acid metabolism on acid tolerance in a Castellaniella isolate from acidic groundwater

This study identifies glutamate and branched-chain amino acid metabolism as key factors in acid tolerance of a denitrifying bacterium from acidic groundwater.

A comparative, multi-study analysis of plastisphere resistomes, plasmid dynamics, and antibiotic resistance genes

This study analyzes plasmid dynamics and antibiotic resistance gene distributions across microplastic polymers using metagenomic data from multiple environments.

The molecular basis of the synergistic toxicity of Ni and Cu, common environmental co-contaminants

This study investigates the synergistic toxicity of Ni and Cu in E. coli, revealing disruptions in Fe-S cluster metabolism as a key mechanism.

Genomic and environmental controls on Castellaniella biogeography in an anthropogenically disturbed subsurface

This study investigates how genomic and environmental factors influence the distribution of Castellaniella species in a contaminated subsurface, identifying genetic mechanisms underlying their adaptation to stress.
