Microbial communities in tropical soils are highly resilient to fluctuating redox conditions

This study examines how fluctuating redox conditions affect microbial communities and carbon cycling in tropical soils, finding that microbial communities adapt to dynamic redox conditions and distinct carbon compounds are cycled under varying redox regimes.

Deciphering the microbial contributors to methane cycling in coastal wetlands

This paper investigates microbial and geochemical factors influencing methane dynamics in three coastal wetlands with varying salinity, finding that methanogen richness and abundance predict methane concentrations, while methanotrophs vary by site.

Divergent successional patterns and infection dynamics in virion and transcriptionally active soil viral communities following phosphorus amendment and wet-up

This study tracks viral succession and infection dynamics in soil viral communities after rewetting and phosphorus amendment, showing distinct responses in virion and transcriptionally active viral populations.

Soil redox drives virus-host community dynamics and plant biomass degradation in tropical rainforest soils

This study examines how soil redox conditions influence viral communities and virus-host interactions in tropical rainforest soils, revealing distinct viral populations and their roles in carbon degradation.

Gut microbiome carbon and sulfur metabolisms support Salmonella during pathogen infection

This study investigates how gut microbiome carbon and sulfur metabolisms support Salmonella during infection by analyzing multi-omics data from infected mice.
