The paper introduces a 'bait-and-switch' strategy to link enzyme function with community-level phenotypes in microbiomes, demonstrating its feasibility in identifying chitin-degrading enzymes.

This study examines how adding chitin-rich crab and lobster shell compost to salt marsh sediments alters microbial community structure and function, revealing shifts in metabolism and potential pathogen emergence.

This study identifies environmental factors influencing Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus incidence in Chesapeake Bay, finding that water temperature ≥20°C and salinity 9-20 PPT increase risk, with water samples being more reliable indicators.

The paper identifies a sequence similarity between ACE2 and nAChR-binding proteins and shows potential physical interaction between ACE2 and nAChR in PC12 cells.
