The paper quantifies Prochlorococcus carbon acquisition, showing mixotrophy supports its ecological success in oceanic environments.

The paper shows Achromatium, a polyploid bacterium, has a globally identical functional inventory across diverse ecosystems, adapting through gene expression rather than genetic change.

The paper compares the genomes of cave-dwelling Thiovulum species to a marine strain, revealing metabolic adaptations for sulfur and nitrogen cycling in subterranean environments.

The paper identifies bacterial traits for microbial interactions using a whole-genome approach across 473 marine bacterial genomes, revealing functional clusters and interaction patterns.

The paper identifies urban-specific bacteria in freshwater ecosystems, including potential pathogens, showing urbanization alters microbial communities and creates health risks.

This study shows Prochlorococcus survive nutrient starvation through interactions with heterotrophic bacteria, not by forming chlorotic resting stages.

The paper investigates carbon and nitrogen fixation and cycling in a late-stage Baltic Sea cyanobacterial bloom by analyzing isotope uptake in cyanobacteria and associated bacteria.
