This study shows that Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r induces resistance in barley against powdery mildew through pathogen-dependent transcriptional changes without major shifts in the phyllosphere microbiome.

This study compares nasal and stool bacterial communities in preschool wheezers and healthy controls, finding fragmented microbial networks and Moraxella enrichment in wheezers despite similar overall diversity.

This study characterizes prokaryotic communities across vertical layers of beech forest floors, finding that decomposition stage drives stratification and site conditions influence boundary layers.

This study shows that seed origin legacy effects, rather than species identity, shape the microbiome and metabolome of oak trees under drought conditions.

The paper shows host-associated bacteria lose flagellar genes more than free-living ones, with little compensation from horizontal gene transfer.

This study tracks respiratory microbiome changes in smokers after cessation, showing site-specific recovery and persistent microbial alterations.

This study compares endotracheal aspirate and bronchoalveolar lavage samples for microbial analysis in critically ill patients, finding similar higher taxonomic concordance but divergence at finer resolutions.

The paper compares skin and gut microbial communities in Antarctic fur seals at different social densities, finding skin communities are more affected by social density than gut communities.

This paper introduces a computational framework using nanopore sequencing and deep learning to infer microbial viability from raw signal data, showing high accuracy in controlled and real-world applications.

This paper demonstrates that nanopore sequencing can effectively monitor air microbiomes by analyzing microbial diversity in controlled and natural environments.

The paper identifies a novel Thaumarchaeota genus in the Atacama Desert hyperarid core, revealing its role in carbon and nitrogen cycling through genomic analysis.
