The paper investigates how viral dynamics influence carbon metabolism in peat microcosms amended with catechin, showing that viral lysis redistributes intermediates to sustain methane suppression.

The paper predicts microbial ecosystem impact on host metabolism using genome-resolved metagenomics, identifying key species and pathways involved in nitrogen balance and host health.

The paper analyzes mobile genetic elements in thawing permafrost soils to assess their impact on microbial diversity and function using meta-omic data.

This study shows that disrupting the spinal cord-gut axis alters gut microbial dynamics and carbohydrate cross-feeding, with interventions restoring health.

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

This study investigates how hexavalent chromium affects nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation, finding it inhibits methane oxidation and reduces key microbial populations.

The paper develops a genome-scale metabolic model for ocean microbial communities to infer metabolic processes and viral impacts on biogeochemical cycles.

This study shows that simple, reference-free metrics can guide hybrid metagenome assembly optimization and replicate patterns seen in more complex analyses.
