The paper identifies HGT-derived proteins with cysteine-rich repeats in eukaryotes, linking them to bacterial, archaeal, and viral sources across diverse taxa.

This study identifies and characterizes quorum sensing systems in deep-sea cold seep microbial communities, revealing their role in regulating biogeochemical processes.

The paper examines seasonal changes in protist communities in the Gulf of Aqaba, showing shifts between parasitic and autotrophic dominance linked to nutrient and mixing conditions.

The paper investigates microbial communities in deep-sea brine pools using metagenomics, identifying key taxa and metabolic pathways that drive carbon turnover.

The paper identifies nitrogen fixation genes in deep-sea Ca. Thiodiazotropha symbionts of Lucinoma kazani but finds no expression of these genes, while highlighting high expression of carbon fixation and sulfur oxidation genes.

The paper compares toxin-related genes in symbionts of deep-sea mussels and sponges to understand their evolutionary origins and functional roles.
