The predicted secreted proteome of activated sludge microorganisms indicate distinct nutrient niches

The paper predicts secreted proteomes of activated sludge microorganisms to identify nutrient niches, finding distinct enzyme profiles among microbial taxa.

The Parkinson's drug entacapone disrupts gut microbiome homeostasis via iron sequestration

This study shows that the Parkinson's drug entacapone disrupts gut microbiome homeostasis by sequestering iron, affecting microbial metabolism and promoting iron-scavenging organisms with resistance genes.

Novel taxa of Acidobacteriota involved in seafloor sulfur cycling

This study identifies two new Acidobacteriota genera involved in sulfur cycling in Svalbard fjord sediments through genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

Woeseiales transcriptional response in Arctic fjord surface sediment

This study investigates the transcriptional response of Woeseiales in Arctic fjord sediments, revealing metabolic plasticity and stress protein dominance during burial.

Anaerobic microbial degradation of protein and lipid macromolecules in subarctic marine sediment

This study identifies microorganisms and their genomic features involved in anaerobic degradation of proteins and lipids in subarctic marine sediments using stable isotope probing and metagenomics.

Glacial runoff promotes deep burial of sulfur cycling-associated microorganisms in marine sediments

This study shows that glacial runoff increases sedimentation rates, promoting the deep burial of sulfur-cycling microorganisms in marine sediments.

DNA-foraging bacteria in the seafloor

This study identifies DNA-foraging bacteria in marine sediments and shows they degrade and recycle DNA, contributing to nutrient cycling in the seafloor.
