Mining virulence genes using metagenomics.
When a bacterial genome is compared to the metagenome of an environment it inhabits, most genes recruit at high sequence identity. In free-living bacteria (for instance marine bacteria compared against the ocean metagenome) certain genomic regions are ...

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.

Microbial Relationship of Carious Deciduous Molars and Adjacent First Permanent Molars
(1) Epidemiological studies have shown that deciduous molar caries are related to and more severe than permanent molar caries. This study aimed to investigate whether caries subtypes in deciduous molars were associated with caries in first permanent ...

Halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) pose a serious problem for the environment. Many are highly toxic and accumulate both in soil and in organisms. Their biological transformation takes place by dehalogenation, in which the halogen substituents are ...

Spaced seeds improve k-mer-based metagenomic classification [PDF]
Metagenomics is a powerful approach to study genetic content of environmental samples that has been strongly promoted by NGS technologies. To cope with massive data involved in modern metagenomic projects, recent tools [4, 39] rely on the analysis of k ...

Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) is a well isolated and cultured lactic acid bacterium, but if utilizing the isolate genomes alone, the genome-based analysis of this taxon would be incomplete, because there are still uncultured strains in some ecological ...
