This study identifies a Rhodococcus strain from Atlantic salmon gut capable of degrading oxidized polyethylene derivatives, revealing key enzymes and mechanisms involved in the process.

This paper identifies two carbohydrate esterases from Bacteroides cellulosilyticus that work together to deacetylate complex β-mannans, with one showing specificity for 2-O-acetyl groups and the other acting broadly on diverse substrates.

The paper introduces a collaborative platform for curating microbial metabolite knowledge to enhance metabolomics data interpretation.

The paper develops an in vitro model to study porcine caecal microbiota response to β-mannan and finds similar microbial responses to in vivo trials with some taxa showing greater changes in vitro.

OmniCorr is an R package that clusters and visualizes multi-omics data to identify putative host-microbiota interactions across different biological systems.

This paper improves the genome assembly of Onygena corvina using a hybrid sequencing approach, resulting in a more complete and contiguous genome with enhanced gene annotations.

This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly and annotation for the bumble bee wax moth, Aphomia sociella, using long-read sequencing, and places it phylogenetically within the Lepidoptera order.

CAZyLingua uses protein language models to annotate carbohydrate-active enzymes in metagenomic data, outperforming traditional methods and revealing new annotations in disease-related datasets.

The paper discovers and characterizes a new family of bacterial heme-thiolate peroxygenases, showing structural and functional similarities to eukaryotic UPOs.

This study identifies the keratinolytic machinery of Onygena corvina, revealing a diverse set of enzymes and mechanisms for keratin degradation, with enhanced efficiency on mixed substrates.

The paper identifies microbial communities capable of degrading medium- and long-chain alkanes and their oxidized derivatives in polyethylene, revealing the presence of these compounds in the model PE material.

This study evaluates microbiota-directed fibers (MDFs) in Atlantic salmon diets, finding negligible effects on gut microbiome and host physiology, but identifying potential endogenous lactic acid bacteria for future MDF strategies.

The paper presents the Salmon Microbial Genome Atlas, a collection of bacterial genomes from Atlantic salmon, and functionally characterizes key gut microbiota populations involved in nutrient processing and health.
