This study evaluates the impact of commercial gut health interventions on caecal microbiota and broiler performance across three production cycles.

This study examines how irrigation and Pectobacterium pathogen load in seed potatoes affect blackleg disease and soil microbial communities.

The paper investigates the relationship between core microbiome diversity and disease resistance in cotton, finding an inverse correlation with disease susceptibility.

CViewer integrates shotgun metagenomics with other omics datasets to enable statistical analysis and hypothesis generation through an interactive platform.

The paper investigates the microbiome of CLCuD-resistant and susceptible cotton species to identify microbial consortia that suppress the disease and induce resistance.

The paper validates and applies intI1 primer sets for quantifying gene abundance in septic tanks, finding no significant difference between primer sets but highlighting the importance of primer choice for accurate environmental monitoring.

The paper compares the genetic impacts of natural dispersal and translocation in eastern black rhinoceros, finding lower inbreeding in dispersers but higher deleterious mutation load in translocated offspring.

This paper compares OTUs and ASVs methods for analyzing functional gene sequences in microbial communities, showing ASVs provide more consistent results for certain genes.

This study compares how a marine microbial community responds to crude oil with synthetic or biogenic surfactants, finding that synthetic dispersants enhance oil degradation but reduce microbial diversity.

The paper evaluates how reverse transcriptase enzymes and priming strategies affect transcript quantification and diversity in environmental microbiology, finding significant impacts on both.

This study shows that disinfectant residuals in drinking water systems are linked to higher prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes in nontuberculous mycobacteria.

The paper investigates the life cycle of methanogenic granules by starting bioreactors with size-separated granules, showing new granule growth and identifying key microbial taxa shaping community structure.

The paper investigates how microbial diversity converges during the growth of methanogenic granules, suggesting a biofilm life-cycle with distinct size-related stages.
