This study characterizes the microbial community and functional traits of Romanian bors, identifying key bacterial and yeast species and their metabolic capabilities.

This paper demonstrates the value of fungal trait-based phenotyping in microbiome research by analyzing four case studies and introduces q2-fungal-traits, a QIIME2 plugin for integrating fungal taxonomy with ecological and functional traits.

The paper describes a citizen science initiative that collected sourdough fermentation data from over 1000 participants across Europe, revealing patterns in practices, motivations, and microbial characteristics.

This study models collection-induced bias in microbiome multi-omics using a fermentation system, showing temperature strongly affects microbial and metabolic profiles.

The paper uses multimutant Salmonella strains to identify SPI-2 effector functions in gut inflammation and systemic colonization, finding SopD2 and GtgE critical for mucosal pathology.
