Phylogenetic study of thermophilic genera Anoxybacillus, Geobacillus, Parageobacillus, and proposal of a new classification Quasigeobacillus gen. nov.

This study uses whole genome sequences to analyze the phylogeny of Anoxybacillus, Geobacillus, and Parageobacillus, proposing a new genus Quasigeobacillus.

Cryptosporulation in Kurthia spp. forces a rethinking of asporogenesis in Firmicutes

The paper demonstrates endosporulation in the genus Kurthia, previously considered asporogenic, and proposes a revised understanding of sporulation in Firmicutes.

Phytoplankton consortia as a blueprint for mutually beneficial eukaryote-bacteria ecosystems: Biocoenosis of Botryococcus consortia

The paper analyzes the microbial consortium of Botryococcus phytoplankton, revealing functional interactions between eukaryotic and bacterial members and proposing a model for synthetic beneficial ecosystems.
