Catch me if you can: Capturing extracellular DNA transformation in mixed cultures via Hi-C sequencing

This study demonstrates that microorganisms in activated sludge can acquire synthetic plasmids via transformation under kanamycin pressure, using Hi-C sequencing to identify transformants.

Metagenomic profiling and transfer dynamics of antibiotic resistance determinants in a full-scale granular sludge wastewater treatment plant

This study tracks antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) and mobile genetic element (MGE) transfer in a wastewater treatment plant, showing exDNA plays a significant role in AMR dissemination.

Laboratory evolution of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae x S. eubayanus hybrid under simulated lager-brewing conditions: genetic diversity and phenotypic convergence

This study evolves a Saccharomyces cerevisiae x S. eubayanus hybrid under brewing conditions, showing phenotypic diversity and limited aneuploidy, with specific mutations linked to industrial traits.

Nucleus Specific Expression In The Multinucleated Mushroom-Forming Fungus Agaricus bisporus Reveals Different Nuclear Regulatory Programs

This study identifies transcriptomic differences between two nuclear types in Agaricus bisporus, revealing functional impacts and epigenetic influences on gene expression.

Patterns of conservation and diversification in the fungal polarization network

The paper examines the evolution of the fungal polarization network across 200 species, finding strong conservation of 16 core proteins and lineage-specific variation in others.
