The paper reports the genome of Candidatus Argioplasma dusa, a spider symbiont, and finds it has a small genome with limited biosynthetic capabilities, suggesting an endosymbiotic lifestyle.

This study examines the microbiome of eelgrass seeds, leaves, and roots across a salinity gradient, finding distinct microbial communities in seeds that may influence germination and ecosystem recovery.

This study examines Vibrio spp. abundance and ecology in Baltic Sea seagrass meadows, finding higher concentrations in water above unvegetated areas and on seagrass roots.

This study shows that the sea urchin intestinal microbiome changes with diet and contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria, indicating its role in nutrient acquisition and dietary flexibility.

This study examines how the bacterial microbiome of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria varies with climate across Europe, finding that climatic factors explain more variation than local weather or sampling season.

This study examines how scale and centrality in lake networks affect planktonic community diversity and composition, finding varied responses across different planktonic groups.

The paper uses metatranscriptomics to assess bacterivores in soil, finding Myxobacteria are abundant and may act as keystone taxa, suggesting a bacterial loop independent of protozoa and nematodes.
