Screening for Polysaccharide Utilization Loci Targeting Marine Polysaccharides

The paper screens polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) targeting marine polysaccharides, identifies novel enzymes, and characterizes their functions and synergies.

Unraveling Fitness Landscapes in Plant-Associated Bacteroidota

This study uses RB-TnSeq to analyze gene fitness in Mucilaginibacter yixingensis, identifying key pathways for plant niche adaptation.

Functional exploration of in vivo and in vitro lignocellulose-fed rumen bacterial microbiomes reveals novel enzymes involved in polysaccharide breakdown

The paper identifies novel enzymes from rumen microbiomes that break down plant cell walls using a high-throughput metagenomic approach.

Genome evolution of a non-parasitic secondary heterotroph, the diatom Nitzschia putrida

This study reports the diploid genome of the free-living diatom Nitzschia putrida and identifies genetic changes associated with its transition from a photosynthetic to a non-parasitic secondary heterotrophic lifestyle.

A model species for agricultural pest genomics: the genome of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

The paper presents the genome of the Colorado potato beetle to study its rapid evolutionary changes, herbivory adaptations, and insecticide resistance mechanisms.
