The paper identifies two putative CI effectors from Cardinium hertigii that function similarly to known Wolbachia CI effectors despite lacking homology to cif genes.

The paper evaluates statistical methods for differential metaproteomics, finding that several approaches effectively identify differentially abundant proteins despite data challenges.

The paper develops a minimal growth medium for a maize root-associated microbial community to study plant-microbe interactions in controlled settings.

This study compares Scribe and database search engines in metaproteomic analysis of a ground-truth microbiome dataset, finding Scribe detects more proteins and quantifies microbial composition more accurately.

This study compares DIA-MS and DDA-MS for metaproteomics, finding DIA-MS provides more reproducible and accurate protein and peptide identifications across laboratories.

This study shows that different dietary protein sources alter gut microbiota composition and function in mice, affecting amino acid and mucus degradation processes.

This study evaluates seed sterilization protocols for two maize varieties, finding that different protocols are needed for different genotypes and seed sources to prevent fungal contamination.

The paper compares DNA metabarcoding and metaproteomics in stool to assess dietary intake, finding both methods identify similar food taxa and provide distinct protein-based distinctions.

The paper identifies nitrogen fixation genes in deep-sea Ca. Thiodiazotropha symbionts of Lucinoma kazani but finds no expression of these genes, while highlighting high expression of carbon fixation and sulfur oxidation genes.
