Linking prokaryotic genome size variation to metabolic potential and environment

The paper links prokaryotic genome size variation to metabolic potential and environmental factors in the Baltic Sea.

Large-scale phylogenomics of aquatic bacteria reveal molecular mechanisms for adaptation to salinity

This study uses phylogenomic analysis of metagenome-assembled genomes to show that bacterial species rarely exist in multiple biomes and that cross-biome transitions involve proteome reorganization and gene content changes.

Optimizing insect metabarcoding using replicated mock communities

This study evaluates metabarcoding protocols for insect communities using mock communities, finding that mild lysis is better for presence/absence, while homogenization improves biomass estimates.

Marine snow as a habitat for microbial mercury methylators in the Baltic Sea

The paper identifies marine snow as a hotspot for mercury methylators in the Baltic Sea by analyzing metagenomic data from different environmental conditions.

Genome Sequence of Segmented Filamentous Bacteria Present in the Human Intestine

The paper reports the metagenomic reconstruction of a unique human-specific Segmented Filamentous Bacteria (SFB) genome from a human ileostomy sample and identifies its presence in human fecal metagenomic datasets.
