Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A biofilm‐like mode of growth is hypothesized to be required for the emergence of cellular life. Occurrence of common biofilm gene products in current Bacteria and Archaea is an indication for their previous presence in the last universal common ancestor LUCA and perhaps even in the first universal common ancestor FUCA.

From short to long: The impact of read length on metagenome assembly and binning

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Metagenome sequencing not only plays a pivotal role in unravelling the genetic diversity and functional potential of microbial communities but also facilitates the discovery of genome context for microbial dark matter.

Metagenome-assembled microbial genomes from Parkinson’s disease fecal samples

Scientific Reports
The human gut microbiome composition has been linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, knowledge of the gut microbiota on the genome level is still limited.

Systematic quantification and removal of host DNA contamination in 16S rRNA gene sequencing

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing is a standard tool for microbial community analysis. Challenges can occur, particularly in low‐biomass samples, when host DNA triggers off‐target amplification. Low‐biomass microbiome studies are particularly vulnerable to contamination from host DNA, which can obscure microbial signals and bias ...

Challenges and Future Directives of Synthetic Biology in Engineering Plant–Microbe Partnerships for Sustainable Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2491-2519, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic biology has recently proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing agriculture even in the face of environmental and biological stresses. Understanding the challenges that militate synthetic biology will assist in ensuring safe, stable, and scalable crop production.

Benchmarking of Reference‐Based Tools for Strain‐Level Resolution of Plant Microbiome

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Strain‐level identification of each microbe is crucial for understanding its role in the host. Most of the existing tools have primarily been evaluated on human metagenomic datasets, whereas the plant microbiome exhibits greater diversity and complexity and thus poses a challenge in the strain‐level resolution of individual microbes.

Comparing the Performance of Double‐Stranded and Single‐Stranded DNA Libraries for Ancient Oral Microbiome Reconstruction

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA library construction methods can affect the recovery of ancient DNA, thus influencing downstream analyses. While single‐stranded library preparation (ssLib) has been shown to outperform double‐stranded (dsLib) for highly degraded vertebrate host DNA, especially for samples older than 40,000 years, few studies have examined how library ...

A Bacillus Phage From Bangladeshi Soil, Phage APU1: Genomic Characterisation and Comparative Genomic Analysis

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Phage APU1, isolated from Bangladeshi agricultural soil, is a high‐quality, computationally predicted lytic Bacillus phage with a 153,847‐bp genome and no detected antimicrobial resistance or virulence factor genes. Comparative genomics identified APU1 as a genomically distinct member of a related Bacillus phage group.

Metagenome-assembled genomes from irradiated human dental plaque

Microbiology Resource Announcements
ABSTRACT We provide 309 quality-controlled bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes recovered from supragingival plaque metagenomes. Samples were collected from head and neck cancer patients following radiotherapy, so the recovered genomes can be useful to investigate the effects of oral cavity irradiation on oral ...
