PLoS ONE, 2014 Next generation sequencing technologies led to the discovery of numerous new microbe species in diverse environmental samples. Some of the new species contain genes never encountered before. Some of these genes encode proteins with novel functions, and some of these genes encode proteins that perform some well-known function in a novel way.

Microbial Functional Responses in Marine Biofilms Exposed to Deepwater Horizon Spill Contaminants
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Marine biofilms are essential biological components that transform built structures into artificial reefs. Anthropogenic contaminants released into the marine environment, such as crude oil and chemical dispersant from an oil spill, may disrupt the ...

Comparative metagenomic analysis reveals mechanisms for stress response in hypoliths from extreme hyperarid deserts [PDF]
, 2016 Understanding microbial adaptation to environmental stressors is crucial for interpreting broader ecological patterns. In the most extreme hot and cold deserts, cryptic niche communities are thought to play key roles in ecosystem processes and represent ...

Mobile resistome of human gut and pathogen drives anthropogenic bloom of antibiotic resistance [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND:The impact of human activities on the environmental resistome has been documented in many studies, but there remains the controversial question of whether the increased antibiotic resistance observed in anthropogenically impacted environments ...

High throughput whole rumen metagenome profiling using untargeted massively parallel sequencing
BMC Genetics, 2012 Background Variation of microorganism communities in the rumen of cattle (Bos taurus) is of great interest because of possible links to economically or environmentally important traits, such as feed conversion efficiency or methane emission levels.

A Novel Trehalose Synthase for the Production of Trehalose and Trehalulose
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 A novel putative trehalose synthase gene (treM) was identified from an extreme temperature thermal spring. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli followed by purification of the protein (TreM).

Methods for comparative metagenomics [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2009 Metagenomics is a rapidly growing field of research that aims at studying uncultured organisms to understand the true diversity of microbes, their functions, cooperation and evolution, in environments such as soil, water, ancient remains of animals, or the digestive system of animals and humans.

Accelerating exhaustive pairwise metagenomic comparisons [PDF]
, 2017 In this manuscript, we present an optimized and parallel version of our previous work IMSAME, an exhaustive gapped aligner for the pairwise and accurate comparison of metagenomes. Parallelization strategies are applied to take advantage of
