Seasonal patterns of exometabolites depend on microbial functions in the oligotrophic ocean

The paper examines seasonal exometabolite patterns in the oligotrophic ocean, linking microbial functions to DOM dynamics and showing DOM composition is more stable than microbial community structure.

Heterotrophic prokaryotes internal carbon recycling compensates mismatches between phytoplankton production and heterotrophic prokaryotic consumption

The paper estimates carbon fluxes in microbial communities using mechanistic inference, finding that internal recycling by heterotrophic prokaryotes compensates for mismatches between phytoplankton production and consumption.

Long-read powered viral metagenomics in the oligotrophic Sargasso Sea

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze viral communities in the Sargasso Sea, identifying new phage populations and highlighting the importance of long reads for viral genome diversity and function.

The Diversity and Ubiquity of Antibiotic Resistant Genes in Finfish Culture Ponds in Bangladesh

This study identifies a wide range of antibiotic resistant genes in Bangladesh fish ponds, highlighting resistance to 18 antibiotic classes and questioning the effectiveness of antibiotic treatments in aquaculture.

Pelagibacter phage Skadi - An abundant polar specialist that exemplifies ecotypic niche specificity among the most abundant viruses on Earth

The paper identifies and characterizes Skadi, a pelagiphage that specializes in cold-water environments, showing ecotypic niche specificity and contrasting with the globally dominant HTVC010P.

Influence of short and long term processes on SAR11 communities in open ocean and coastal systems

This study examines SAR11 bacterial ecotype seasonality in two North Atlantic regions, showing that short-term environmental changes can disrupt seasonal patterns.

Relationships between pond water and tilapia skin microbiomes in aquaculture ponds in Malawi

This study compares microbial communities on tilapia skin and in pond water in Malawi, finding shared taxa but distinct structures, with environmental factors more strongly influencing water microbiomes than fish skin.

Genomic evidence for inter-class host transition between abundant streamlined heterotrophs by a novel and ubiquitous marine Methylophage

This paper isolates and characterizes a novel myophage infecting OM43 bacteria, revealing evidence of inter-class host transition between streamlined heterotrophs.

VirION2: a short- and long-read sequencing and informatics workflow to study the genomic diversity of viruses in nature

VirION2 improves viral metagenomics by integrating short- and long-read sequencing, enhancing genome recovery and microdiversity detection in low-biomass samples.

Efficient Dilution-to-Extinction isolation of novel virus-host model systems for fastidious heterotrophic bacteria

The paper introduces a method to isolate virus-host systems for fastidious heterotrophic bacteria, identifying new phages and viruses with ecotype-specific host ranges and infection dynamics.

Expanding the diversity of bacterioplankton isolates and modeling isolation efficacy with large scale dilution-to-extinction cultivation

This paper expands the diversity of cultivated bacterioplankton using dilution-to-extinction cultivation and develops a model to predict taxon viability and improve isolation success.

Metabolic roles of uncultivated bacterioplankton lineages in the northern Gulf of Mexico "Dead Zone"
