This paper introduces a viscoelastic flow-integrated Raman spectroscopy platform for high-throughput, real-time particle analysis with modular design and low cost.

The paper identifies novel nitrifiers in a brackish landfill leachate treatment system, including a comammox Nitrospira and new sub-lineage VII Nitrospira, and explores their metabolic adaptations.

This study identifies and quantifies diverse intracellular inclusions in magnetotactic bacteria, revealing their role in elemental cycling and potential for biotechnology.

The paper identifies candidate organic micropollutant degraders in microbial communities by integrating metagenomics and metatranscriptomics to correlate biotransformation with microbial activity.

The paper uses machine learning to predict plasmid permissiveness in wastewater microbiomes from 16S rDNA sequences, showing moderate-to-strong correlations with experimental data.
