Evaluating Climate Warming Effects on Soil Resistome and Pathogenome: Future Risks for Agriculture and Human Health

This study examines how climate warming affects soil antibiotic resistance genes and pathogenomes, finding increased mobility and risk of disease outbreaks.

Uninheritable but widespread bacterial symbiont mediates insecticide detoxification of an agricultural invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda

The paper identifies a widespread bacterial symbiont, Enterococcus casseliflavus, in the invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda that mediates insecticide detoxification and suggests its potential for insecticide resistance management.

Hydrodynamic and anthropogenic disturbances co-shape microbiota rhythmicity and community assembly within intertidal groundwater-surface water continuum

The paper examines how tidal fluctuations and human disturbances affect microbiota structure and assembly in intertidal groundwater-surface water systems, identifying rhythmic microbial patterns and their environmental drivers.

This study establishes a Tetrasphaera-enriched microbiome for enhanced biological phosphorus removal using allylthiourea, achieving high nutrient removal and recovery.

Hydrological dynamics drive the transition of antibiotic resistance genes between particle-attached and free-living lifestyles in a deep freshwater reservoir

This study examines how seasonal hydrological changes affect the transition of antibiotic resistance genes between particle-attached and free-living lifestyles in a deep freshwater reservoir.

Using Culture-Enriched Phenotypic Metagenomics for Targeted High-Throughput Monitoring of Clinically-Important Fraction of Beta-Lactam Resistome

This study uses culture-enriched phenotypic metagenomics to monitor clinically-important beta-lactam resistance genes in a wastewater treatment plant and river.

Cyanopeptides Restriction and Degradation Co-mediate Microbiota Assembly During a Freshwater Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Bloom (CyanoHAB)

The paper tracks cyanopeptides and their impact on microbiota during a CyanoHAB, finding that cyanopeptide restriction and degradation drive community assembly.

Polyvinyl Chloride Degradation by Intestinal Klebsiella of Pest larvae

The paper identifies a Klebsiella strain from the gut of Spodoptera frugiperda larvae that degrades PVC, using multi-omics to characterize the degradation pathway.

Untangling Microbiota Diversity and Assembly Patterns in the World's Largest Water Diversion Canal

The paper investigates microbiota dynamics and assembly patterns in a large water diversion canal, finding deterministic processes shape bacterial communities while stochasticity dominates micro-eukaryotic communities.

Pathogenic and Indigenous Denitrifying Bacteria are Transcriptionally Active and Key Multi-Antibiotic Resistant Players in Wastewater Treatment Plants

The paper analyzes ARG hosts in WWTPs using metatranscriptomics, finding 45% of genomes express multi-antibiotic resistance genes, with pathogens and denitrifying bacteria as key hosts.

Metformin chlorination byproducts in drinking water exhibit marked toxicity to nematode worms, human cells, and mice

This study shows that metformin chlorination byproducts are toxic to nematodes, human cells, and mice, and identifies boiling and activated carbon as effective removal methods.

Distinct growth stages shaped by an interplay of deterministic and neutral processes are indispensable for functional anammox biofilms

The paper investigates the stages of anammox biofilm development, showing that deterministic and stochastic processes interact to shape community structure and function.
