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

This study uses comparative genomics to identify virulence-related genes in Vibrio vulnificus by analyzing clinical and environmental isolates, revealing convergent evolution and potential diagnostic markers.

The paper uses CARD-FISH and sequencing to study microbial food web dynamics in the Baltic Sea, finding that omnivorous and predatory HNF dominate during phytoplankton blooms.

This study investigates the effects of excess phosphate in a mesocosm experiment, showing that nitrogen addition reduces phosphate concentrations more effectively than carbon addition.

The paper investigates how freshwater ciliate communities respond to top-down and bottom-up manipulations in spring and summer, revealing season-specific trophic interactions and community shifts.

The paper examines microbial processes in the Baltic Sea during post-spring-bloom phosphate excess, showing that alkaline phosphatase activity and shifts in bacterial communities affect nutrient cycling and organic matter export.

This study shows that aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria benefit from photoheterotrophy under both carbon-rich and carbon-poor conditions, with seasonal variations in their advantage.

This study investigates the seasonal dynamics of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria in a freshwater lake, revealing their role in organic matter recycling and ecological dynamics.
