This paper introduces DSP as a reversible fixative for microbial cells that enables fluorescence imaging and DNA extraction, improving targeted microbial genomics.

This paper characterizes kineochelins, novel siderophores from an Antarctic actinomycete, showing their iron-chelating activity and ecological relevance.

The paper compares symbiont diversity in lucinid bivalves and seagrass roots, finding shared bacterial species between the two hosts.

This study investigates organosulfur cycling in lucinid bivalve symbioses, revealing host and microbial roles in DMSP synthesis and degradation.

This study tracks rapid genetic diversification of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in mono-associated mice over 28 days, identifying polymorphisms, phase-variable loci, and spatial variation in the gut.

This study identifies high richness and novel taxa of sulfoquinovose-degrading bacteria in cow rumen using yihQ-targeted amplicon sequencing and metagenomics.

This study identifies two novel nitrifying symbiont lineages in marine sponges, showing vertical transmission and suggesting their role in nitrogen cycling.
