This study breeds microbiomes that confer salt tolerance to plants by selecting for beneficial microbial communities, showing increased seed weight and reduced sodium concentration in treated plants.

The paper investigates microbial interactions in algal systems, finding that cooperation, not just competition, significantly influences carbon flow from algae to bacteria.

The paper introduces an algorithm to correct habitat filtering in microbial correlation networks, improving accuracy on simulated and real data.
