Insights into gene expression changes under conditions that facilitate horizontal gene transfer (mating) of a model Archaeon

A. M. Makkay, A. S. Louyakis, N. Ram-Mohan…·R. T. Papke

The paper identifies genes and pathways associated with mating in Haloferax volcanii through transcriptomic analysis of gene expression during mating conditions.

Nutrient supplementation experiments with saltern microbial communities implicate utilization of DNA as a source of phosphorus

Z. Hua, M. Ouellette, A. M. Makkay…·O. Zhaxybayeva

The paper shows that microbial communities use DNA as a phosphorus source in salterns, with growth dependent on additional carbon and nitrogen, and taxonomic shifts indicating preferential eDNA uptake from abundant taxa.

The Impact of Restriction-Modification Systems on Mating in Haloferax volcanii

M. Ouellette, A. M. Makkay, A. S. Louyakis…·R. T. Papke

This study examines how restriction-modification systems affect genetic exchange in Haloferax volcanii, finding that they reduce but do not block recombination between incompatible strains.
