Metatranscriptomic census of active protists in soils [PDF]
Abstract The high numbers and diversity of protists in soil systems have long been presumed, but their true diversity and community composition have remained largely concealed. Traditional cultivation-based methods miss a majority of taxa, whereas molecular barcoding approaches employing PCR introduce significant biases in reported ...

Mosses host diverse bacterial communities essential for their fitness, nutrient acquisition, stress tolerance, and pathogen defense. Understanding the microbiome’s taxonomic composition is the first step, but unraveling their functional capabilities is ...

Evolutionary genomics of a cold-adapted diatom: Fragilariopsis cylindrus [PDF]
The Southern Ocean houses a diverse and productive community of organisms1, 2. Unicellular eukaryotic diatoms are the main primary producers in this environment, where photosynthesis is limited by low concentrations of dissolved iron and large seasonal ...

Metatranscriptomic reads from black band disease (BBD) lesions derived from samples collected during the day and night were mapped to near‐complete BBD‐derived metagenome‐assembled genomes to profile diurnal metabolic shifts among key microbial groups. Photosynthesis genes from the cyanobacterium Roseofilum reptotaenium were highly expressed during the

The Viral Fraction Metatranscriptomes of Lake Baikal
This article characterises viral fraction metatranscriptomes (smaller than 0.2 µm) from the pelagic zone of oligotrophic Lake Baikal (Russia). The study revealed the dominance of transcripts of DNA viruses: bacteriophages and algal viruses. We identified transcripts similar to Pithovirus sibericum, a nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) isolated ...

This study identified DNA viruses from Qiangyong proglacial lake sediments on the Tibetan Plateau, revealing a highly diverse and previously uncharacterized viral community. These viruses influence microbial community structure and function by infecting key nutrient‐transforming taxa and encoding auxiliary metabolic genes that modulate host metabolism.

Metatranscriptomic analysis of extremely halophilic viral communities [PDF]
Abstract Hypersaline environments harbour the highest number of viruses reported for aquatic environments. In crystallizer ponds from solar salterns, haloviruses coexist with extremely halophilic Archaea and Bacteria and present a high diversity although little is known about their activity. In this work, we analyzed the viral expression
