Sequencing of marine sediments finds 136 newly identified Heimdallarchaeia and several novel lineages, and indicates that Heimdallarchaeia evolved distinct metabolic capabilities from other Asgar...

The future This is probably the last release of Prokka. I won't be making any code changes except bug fixes. I will update the databases occasionally. I strongly recommend you use Bakta by @oschwen...

Wetlands are ecosystems of environmental importance due to their role as biodiversity shelters. However, the intense anthropization of the landscape have propelled a decline in water quality and quant...

Here the authors leverage a crossfeeding, engineered microbial community to demonstrate that strain abundance cycles are robust across environmental conditions. They pair this with a nonlinear dynamic model to elucidate population cycles.

Scientific Reports - Widely-distributed freshwater microorganisms with streamlined genomes co-occur in cohorts with high abundance

Viruses are pivotal players in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, shaping microbiomes by preying on key hosts. Through a global-scale analysis of vent viruses and their interactions, this study reveals that...

Protists, defined as unicellular eukaryotes distinct from animals, plants, and fungi, are a polyphyletic group that predominates the eukaryotic tree of life, exhibiting significant phylogenetic divers...

Patescibacteria, also known as the Candidate Phyla Radiation, are a diverse clade of largely uncultivated, small bacteria that comprise a significa...

Abstract. Microbial functional ecology is expanding as we can now measure the traits of wild microbes that affect ecosystem functioning. Here, we review te

I am a co-author on a new paper that just came out. Nutritional niches of potentially endemic, facultatively anaerobic heterotrophs from an isolated Antarctic terrestrial hydrothermal refugium eluc…

The first day with no sea ice in the Arctic will be a visible sign of climate change. This work reveals that this could occur before 2030 already and becomes more likely as the world warms. As the ice...

Microbial communities are predominantly composed of species and intraspecies units, but the mechanisms behind the formation and persistence of these units are unclear. Here, the authors provide experi...

Abstract. Genome streamlining, i.e. genome size reduction, is observed in bacteria with very different life traits, including endosymbiotic bacteria and se

Queer and trans scientists face varied and systemic barriers to their professional success, resulting in a relative absence from faculty ranks at many institutions. This Perspective calls for a change...

Background Prokaryotic microbes have impacted marine biogeochemical cycles for billions of years. Viruses also impact these cycles, through lysis, horizontal gene transfer, and encoding and expressing...
