This paper introduces DSP as a reversible fixative for microbial cells that enables fluorescence imaging and DNA extraction, improving targeted microbial genomics.

This study uses model substrate particles to investigate how chitin and cellulose influence microbial community dynamics in soil over time.

This study identifies metabolic adaptations in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that enable their persistence in symbiosis with gutless marine worms, revealing a conserved core metabolism distinct from free-living relatives.

The paper measures growth rates of Vibrio bacteria in seawater using a single-cell chemostat, finding they grow consistently and are carbon-limited despite being rare.

This study shows that sulfoquinovose is not metabolized by mice or humans but is degraded by gut microbiota, with differences in degradation pathways between mice and humans.

This study identifies high richness and novel taxa of sulfoquinovose-degrading bacteria in cow rumen using yihQ-targeted amplicon sequencing and metagenomics.
