DeepRod: A human-in-the-loop system for automatic rodent behavior analysis

DeepRod improves rodent behavior analysis in drug development by combining AI and active learning to automate and enhance behavior categorization.

Global diversity and inferred ecophysiology of microorganisms with the potential for dissimilatory sulfate/sulfite reduction

This study redefines the global diversity of sulfate/sulfite-reducing microorganisms using metagenomic data and identifies genetic markers for their ecophysiology.

A novel taurine-respiring murine gut bacterium contributes to colonization resistance against enteropathogens

The paper identifies and characterizes a new murine gut bacterium, Taurinivorans muris, which uses taurine respiration and contributes to colonization resistance against pathogens.

Novel taxa of Acidobacteriota involved in seafloor sulfur cycling

This study identifies two new Acidobacteriota genera involved in sulfur cycling in Svalbard fjord sediments through genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

Woeseiales transcriptional response in Arctic fjord surface sediment

This study investigates the transcriptional response of Woeseiales in Arctic fjord sediments, revealing metabolic plasticity and stress protein dominance during burial.

Anaerobic microbial degradation of protein and lipid macromolecules in subarctic marine sediment

This study identifies microorganisms and their genomic features involved in anaerobic degradation of proteins and lipids in subarctic marine sediments using stable isotope probing and metagenomics.

Glacial runoff promotes deep burial of sulfur cycling-associated microorganisms in marine sediments

This study shows that glacial runoff increases sedimentation rates, promoting the deep burial of sulfur-cycling microorganisms in marine sediments.

DNA-foraging bacteria in the seafloor

This study identifies DNA-foraging bacteria in marine sediments and shows they degrade and recycle DNA, contributing to nutrient cycling in the seafloor.

Diversity decoupled from sulfur isotope fractionation in a sulfate reducing microbial community

The paper investigates whether gene diversity affects sulfur isotope fractionation in a sulfate-reducing microbial community and finds no correlation between diversity indices and net isotope fractionation.

Long-term transcriptional activity at zero growth by a cosmopolitan rare biosphere member

This study shows a rare biosphere microbe is metabolically active without growing, challenging assumptions about low abundance and metabolic activity.

Peatland Acidobacteria with a dissimilatory sulfur metabolism

The paper identifies novel Acidobacteria in peatlands with sulfur metabolism capabilities, including both sulfate respiration and sulfur oxidation, and highlights their ecological roles in organic matter decomposition.

Bottled aqua incognita: Microbiota assembly and dissolved organic matter diversity in natural mineral waters

This study investigates microbiota and dissolved organic matter (DOM) in bottled natural mineral waters, finding that a low-diversity bacterial community thrives on refractory DOM molecules.
