This paper introduces a universal surface functionalization technique for microbes that enhances functionality without genetic modification, achieving higher efficiency and viability across diverse species.

This study shows deep-sea microbes degrade chitin and couple it to extracellular electron transfer using syntrophic interactions in anoxic sediments.

The paper shows structural differences in glycan transporters drive niche partitioning in Bacteroides species by substrate chain length preference, with implications for gut microbiome ecology and dietary interventions.

The paper shows that specialized bacteria degrade fucoidans through cooperative interactions, enhancing degradation efficiency by up to 97.1%.

This study identifies microbiome factors influencing productivity in whiteleg shrimp aquaculture, showing microbiome composition predicts 50% of larval survival variation but only 10-20% of adult weight variation.

The paper shows that vitamin auxotrophies and lysis-mediated cross-feeding shape microbial community assembly in coastal marine environments.

The paper evaluates regression-based methods for identifying microbial functional groups using synthetic data, finding that simpler linear methods can outperform complex ones.

The paper shows that ecological systems develop in a sequenced order from fast-to slow-growing taxa due to environmental resistance minimization, supported by theoretical and empirical evidence.

The paper shows multicellular bacteria use DGRs to diversify antigen sensors, enhancing adaptive immunity and supporting the evolution of multicellularity.
