This study uses isotopic analysis of volatile fatty acids to show that inhibiting methanogenesis in ruminants alters microbial fermentation pathways, reducing energy-generating processes.

The paper introduces MODIFI, a tool for detecting DNA modifications in metagenomes, and identifies ECE-host linkages in environmental and human samples.

This study investigates how Asparagopsis supplementation affects rumen microbiota, finding reduced methane production and changes in microbial gene expression and function.

The paper proposes a roadmap for fair reuse of public microbiome data by introducing a Data Reuse Information tag (DRI) to facilitate communication between data creators and consumers.

The paper uses a mechanistic model of rumen fermentation to analyze how microbial function and feed composition affect methane production with and without Asparagopsis taxiformis.

The paper expands the global RNA virome by five-fold, identifying new clades of RNA bacteriophages and revealing novel virus-host interactions.

This study evaluates two Pacific Coast macroalgae for their ability to reduce methane emissions from ruminants in vitro, finding A. taxiformis significantly more effective than Z. farlowii.

This study evaluates the effect of Asparagopsis taxiformis on methane production and rumen microbiome in dairy cattle, finding a 95% reduction in methane with no negative impact on fermentation parameters.

The paper reports the 2.08 Å resolution structure of HLB5, a novel cellulase from Parabacteroides johnsonii, which lacks structural homologues or conserved regions typical of carbohydrate-degrading enzymes.
