The paper examines microbial communities in Cu/Ni mine tailings, finding high variability in diversity and composition linked to geochemical factors like pH and metal concentrations.

The paper identifies giant genes in predatory bacteria, showing they are associated with prey adhesion and cell wall degradation.

This study examines microbial methane cycling in landfill waste over 39 years, showing that anaerobic methanogens dominate new waste while aerobic methanotrophs persist in leachate, and highlights the potential for anaerobic methane oxidation in older landfills.

The paper examines the metabolic adaptations and evolutionary history of the Cloacimonadota phylum, revealing distinct genomic and metabolic traits associated with engineered versus natural environments.

The paper adapts occupancy modelling from macroecology to assess functional profiles in metagenomes, finding positive correlation between methanogenesis and methanotrophy genes across environments.

This study examines microbial diversity in a landfill using 16S rRNA and metagenomic sequencing, revealing high heterogeneity at lower taxonomic levels despite conserved phylum-level patterns.

The paper analyzes genomes of Elusimicrobia from various environments, finding groundwater-associated species show diverse metabolic capabilities and some encode novel nitrogenase paralogs.

This study examines seasonal changes in the skin microbiome of North American wood frogs and finds significant seasonal variation in microbial composition.

The paper screens metagenomes and metagenome-assembled genomes to identify and characterize the global distribution and phylogenetic diversity of PHA depolymerase genes across environments.

This study identifies high functional diversity among Nitrospira populations in wastewater treatment plant biofilms, revealing distinct metabolic capabilities and spatial distributions.
