Three reference genomes for freshwater diatom ecology and evolution
Abstract Diatoms are an important component of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Although the majority of described diatom species live in freshwater systems, genome sequencing efforts have focused primarily on marine species. Genomic resources for freshwater species have the potential to improve our understanding of diatom ecology and evolution ...

Ancestrality and Mosaicism of Giant Viruses Supporting the Definition of the Fourth TRUC of Microbes
Giant viruses of amoebae were discovered in 2003. Since then, their diversity has greatly expanded. They were suggested to form a fourth branch of life, collectively named ‘TRUC’ (for “Things Resisting Uncompleted Classifications”) alongside Bacteria ...

Diversity and Functional Roles of Microorganisms in Anatolian Black Pine Cone Vinegar Fermentation
The pine cone vinegar has been analyzed for its microbial community using cultural methods and metagenomic analysis, as well as its aroma components, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and organic acids. The results provide valuable information on the sensory properties, aroma volatiles, antimicrobial effect, and relationship with the ...

Evolution of the nucleus [PDF]
Under a Creative Commons license.The nucleus represents a major evolutionary transition. As a consequence of separating translation from transcription many new functions arose, which likely contributed to the remarkable success of eukaryotic cells.

α/β Hydrolases: Toward Unraveling Entangled Classification
ABSTRACT α/β Hydrolase‐like enzymes form a large and functionally diverse superfamily of proteins. Despite retaining a conserved structural core consisting of an eight‐stranded, central β‐sheet flanked with six α‐helices, they display a modular architecture allowing them to perform a variety of functions, like esterases, lipases, peptidases, epoxidases,
