This study identifies a geothermal amoeba that divides at 63°C, setting a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes and challenging existing paradigms about eukaryotic thermal tolerance.

The paper identifies 25 novel phyla in the eukaryotic tree of life through global environmental DNA surveys and proposes formal names for 150 species.

The paper maps soil microbiome functions in wetlands to understand methane emissions by analyzing microbial communities and gene expression across spatial and temporal gradients.

The paper quantifies research focus on microbial eukaryotes, finding 12 human parasite species account for 47% of literature mentions despite comprising only 1% of known species.

This study traces the evolutionary origins of acetic acid bacteria, showing they transitioned from plant-associated lifestyles to fermented foods, not from social insect hosts.

The paper integrates multi-omics data from wetlands to link microbial communities to methane fluxes, identifying conserved genera and metabolic interactions that influence emissions.

This paper uses genomics and synthetic community experiments to show that acetic acid bacteria (AAB) significantly influence sourdough starter function through metabolic diversity and strain-specific effects.
