Metagenomic insight into taxonomic composition, environmental filtering, and functional redundancy for shaping worldwide modern microbial mats

M. Viladomat, M. Garcia-Ulloa, I. Zapata-Penasco, L. E. Eguiarte, V. Souza

This study analyzes metagenomic data from microbial mats worldwide to show that community structure and function are shaped by cyanobacteria abundance and generalist microorganisms rather than environmental factors like temperature and pH.

Evolutionary history of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) demethylation enzyme DmdA in marine bacteria

L. Hernández Javier, A. Vicens, L. E. Eguiarte, V. Souza, V. De Anda, J. M. González

This study investigates the evolutionary history of the DmdA gene family in marine bacteria, finding it originated from GcvT genes via duplication and positive selection before coevolution with DMSP-producing phytoplankton.
