ABSTRACT Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a shell disease affecting spiny lobsters' outer integument, with significant implications for the health and commercial viability of red rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii) in New Zealand. Despite its impact, the potential role of a microbial agent in TFN remains poorly understood.

Soil eukaryotic functional diversity, a metatranscriptomic approach [PDF]
Abstract To appreciate the functional diversity of communities of soil eukaryotic micro-organisms we evaluated an experimental approach based on the construction and screening of a cDNA library using polyadenylated mRNA extracted from a forest soil.

Virome Analysis Deciphers the First Virus Occurrence in Melothria scabra, Revealing Two Potyviruses, Including a Highly Divergent Zucchini Yellow Mmosaic Virus Isolate [PDF]
Melothria scabra, an annual vine plant belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae, is usually found as a weed in agricultural ecosystems, making it a potential reservoir for crop viruses. Nonetheless, no plant virus has been documented to infect M.

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North‐Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

Metatranscriptomic exploration of microbial functioning in clouds [PDF]
AbstractClouds constitute the uppermost layer of the biosphere. They host diverse communities whose functioning remains obscure, although biological activity potentially participates to atmospheric chemical and physical processes. In order to gain information on the metabolic functioning of microbial communities in clouds, we conducted coordinated ...

Effects of diet on resource utilization by a model human gut microbiota containing Bacteroides cellulosilyticus WH2, a symbiont with an extensive glycobiome [PDF]
The human gut microbiota is an important metabolic organ, yet little is known about how its individual species interact, establish dominant positions, and respond to changes in environmental factors such as diet.

Viral spill‐over from honey bees is a potential threat to wild pollinators. We used causal modelling approaches to detect the main drivers of spill‐over. Honey bee viral density, niche overlap with honey bees, urbanisation and plant‐pollinator network structure all played an important role in the transmission of BQCV, DWV‐A and DWV‐B.

The 2500‐year‐old Mulberry‐dyke and Fish‐pond agricultural heritage system reveals how interconnected habitats foster microbial diversity. Multi‐habitat landscapes enhance microbial diversity through cross‐habitat dispersal and adaptive trait convergence. Globally, regions with diverse habitats support a greater diversity of soil microbiomes.
