This study uses ultra-deep sequencing to analyze intra-host SARS-CoV-2 diversity and co-infection-driven evolution in Chilean patients, finding increased genetic diversity and positive selection in the Spike gene during co-infections.

This study examines how Enterococcus faecalis adjusts its metabolism and transcriptional response when exposed to iron under glutathione deficiency, revealing compensatory mechanisms for oxidative stress.

This study examines how willow and pine tree growth affects bacterial abundance, interactions, and metabolic profiles in copper mine tailings, finding that tree growth reduces copper levels and promotes more active bacterial communities.

The paper analyzes microbial communities from a copper tailing using metagenomics to compare their metabolic and evolutionary traits with soil bacteria, identifying new taxa and functional adaptations.
