Photosynthesis evolved in the ocean more than 2 billion years ago and is now performed by
a wide range of evolutionarily distinct organisms, including both prokaryotes and …

Microbial communities are essential components of aquatic ecosystems through their
contribution to food web dynamics and biogeochemical processes. Aquatic microbial …

Genus assignment is fundamental in the characterization of microbes, yet there is currently
no unambiguous way to demarcate genera solely using standard genomic relatedness …

Nutrient supply regulates the activity of phytoplankton, but the global biogeography of
nutrient limitation and co-limitation is poorly understood. Prochlorococcus adapt to local …

Marine planktonic eukaryotes play critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles and climate.
However, their poor representation in culture collections limits our understanding of the …

Most microorganisms from all taxonomic levels are uncultured. Single-cell genomes and
metagenomes continue to increase the known diversity of Bacteria and Archaea; however …

Antimony (Sb) contamination released from mine tailings represents a global threat to
natural ecosystems and human health. The geochemical conditions of Sb tailings, which are …

Understanding the evolutionary relationships between a host and its intestinal resident
bacteria can transform how we understand adaptive phenotypic traits. The interplay between …

Microorganisms contribute to the biology and physiology of eukaryotic hosts and affect other
organisms through natural products. Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus (XP) living in …

Introduction Microbial residents of the human oral cavity have long been a major focus of
microbiology due to their influence on host health and intriguing patterns of site specificity …
