The molecular evolution of catalatic hydroperoxidases: evidence for multiple lateral transfer of genes between prokaryota and from bacteria into eukaryota [PDF]
The past decade has produced an increasing number of reports on horizontal gene transfer between prokaryotic organisms. Only recently, with the flood of available whole genome sequence data and a renewed intensity of the debate about the universal tree ...

How Host Phylogeny, Diet, and Habitat Affect Gut Microbial Diversity in Wild Snakes
Gut microbiota plays critical roles in host digestion, immune regulation, neurochemical signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Based on wild snakes (73 individuals from 23 species) from China, we explored the composition, characteristics, and functions of gut microbes across different groups using fecal metagenomic samples; further we explored the ...

Automatic generation of pseudoknotted RNAs taxonomy
Background The ability to compare RNA secondary structures is important in understanding their biological function and for grouping similar organisms into families by looking at evolutionarily conserved sequences such as 16S rRNA. Most comparison methods

SPROUTS_DB: An Implemented Database of Contaminants for Extracellular Vesicle Proteomics Studies
ABSTRACT Current proteomics techniques allow rapid identification and quantification of proteins within any given biological source. However, LC–MS/MS proteomics is vulnerable to laboratory and sample‐associated contaminants. Therefore, accurate identification and annotation of such contaminants is crucial for development of reliable databases ...

Encystment Induces Down-Regulation of an Acetyltransferase-Like Gene in Acanthamoeba castellanii
Acanthamoeba castellanii is a ubiquitous free-living amoeba. Pathogenic strains are causative agents of Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. In response to adverse conditions, A.

We investigated how microbes influence the metal accumulation and release in Fe‐Mn concretions from the Gulf of Finland using microcosm incubation experiments. We studied three main concretion morphotypes: crust, discoidal, and spheroidal. Microbes enhanced metal accumulation in discoidal and spheroidal morphotypes.

Drying Halves Decomposition Rates in River Networks by Decreasing Decomposer Diversity
Short drying events can have long‐lasting impacts on the functioning of whole river networks. We found that just a few days without water reduced leaf decomposition by up to half, because drying reduced the diversity of communities of organisms that recycle organic matter. These effects continued for months after flow returned. Hydrological connections
