The unseen world: environmental microbial sequencing and identification methods for ecologists [PDF]

, 2014
Archaea, bacteria, microeukaryotes, and the viruses that infect them (collectively “microorganisms”) are foundational components of all ecosystems, inhabiting almost every imaginable environment and comprising the majority of the planet’s organismal and ...

Dietary RNA: Integration of RNA Data Offers a Potential Paradigm Shift for Molecular Dietary Analyses

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Just over two decades ago, DNA‐based dietary analysis promised to advance the resolution, sensitivity, and speed with which we could detect and identify trophic interactions. Since then, these approaches have generated a paradigm shift in our understanding across a wide range of natural systems.

The impact of short‐term flooding on soil microbial communities, soil nitrogen and maize productivity in clay loam soils of Ohio, United States

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 971-982, May 2026.
A short‐term flood, implemented in a field experiment with sprinkler irrigation in maize production systems, increased soil moisture levels and reduced autoclaved citrate extractable protein, an indicator of soil biological health that reflects organically bound soil nitrogen, and also corresponded to greater differential abundance of soil bacterial ...

Microbiome of Apical Intracanal and Extraradicular Biofilms From the Same Roots of Teeth With Persistent Apical Periodontitis: An Observational Study

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 806-818, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Bacterial biofilms around the apex are crucial in disease progression and persistence of apical periodontitis. While intracanal biofilms initiate infection, extraradicular biofilms contribute to treatment resistance and persistence. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of these biofilms may help elucidate mechanisms underlying persistent ...

Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

Drivers of Microbiome Composition Among Helminth Parasites Sharing the Same Insectivorous Bat Host

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasitic metazoans are increasingly recognised to form close associations with microbial taxa. Under the holobiont concept, these associations are an eco‐evolutionary unit under joint selection. However, for most parasitic helminth species and particularly those associated with wildlife, these interactions and their effect on parasite ...

Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1784-1799, May 2026.
Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Fungal Pathogen Activity and Stress‐Dependent Responses of Grapevine Wood to Esca and Drought

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biotic and abiotic stresses alter the physiology of perennial plants, with consequences for fungal endophytes and disease expression. In grapevine, drought inhibits esca disease expression, but the underlying molecular interactions between the plant and fungi are unknown. We combined wood metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and metabarcoding to

Clostridioides difficile infection is associated with differences in transcriptionally active microbial communities

Frontiers in Microbiology
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is responsible for around 300,000 hospitalizations yearly in the United States, with the associated monetary cost being billions of dollars. Gut microbiome dysbiosis is known to be important to CDI. To the best of

Long‐term elevated precipitation promotes an acid metabolic preference in soil microbial communities in a Tibetan alpine grassland

mSystems
Alpine ecosystems store vast amounts of soil organic carbon but are highly sensitive to climate change. Despite this, the response of in situ soil microbial metabolic processes, especially carbon substrate utilization, to climatic shifts remains ...
