Microbiome and resistome dynamics along a sewage-effluent-reservoir continuum underline the role of natural attenuation in effluent receiving reservoirs

This study tracks microbiome and resistome changes along a sewage-effluent-reservoir system, showing that ecological interactions in reservoirs reduce antibiotic resistance more than physical processes in treatment reactors.

Seasonal dynamics are the major driver of microbial diversity and composition in intensive freshwater aquaculture

This study shows that seasonal cycles, not aquaculture practices, primarily drive microbial community structure in freshwater fishponds over three years.

Pectin induced colony expansion of soil-derived Flavobacterium strains

This study shows pectin enhances colony expansion of Flavobacterium strains on solid surfaces through bi-phasic motility and upregulation of glycan uptake proteins.

Elucidating the diversity and potential function of nonribosomal peptide and polyketide biosynthetic gene clusters in the root microbiome

The paper identifies novel secondary metabolite gene clusters in root microbiomes that are enriched and expressed in roots but absent in gut and aquatic environments, suggesting unique ecological roles.
