This paper develops ROSEATE, a model predicting bacterial optimal growth temperatures using protein structural features from a single gene, showing high accuracy and phylogenetic generalizability.

This study transplants mosses between tundra sites to show that nitrogen fixation rates are more influenced by host species and microenvironment than microbiome changes.

This study compares nontuberculous mycobacterial diversity across surface waters, soil, and household plumbing biofilms, finding that plumbing biofilms have the highest abundance and occurrence of clinically relevant species.

The paper constructs a periodic table of bacterial taxa to organize and visualize bacterial diversity based on genomic trait predictions.
