Augmenting Biogas Process Modeling by Resolving Intracellular Metabolic Activity [PDF]
The process of anaerobic digestion in which waste biomass is transformed to methane by complex microbial communities has been modeled for more than 16 years by parametric gray box approaches that simplify process biology and do not resolve intracellular ...

Metatranscriptomic analyses of honey bee colonies [PDF]
Honey bees face numerous biotic threats from viruses to bacteria, fungi, protists, and mites. Here we describe a thorough analysis of microbes harbored by worker honey bees collected from field colonies in geographically distinct regions of Turkey. Turkey is one of the World's most important centers of apiculture, harboring five subspecies of Apis ...

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 ...

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 ...

Exploring the tymovirids landscape through metatranscriptomics data [PDF]
Abstract Tymovirales is an order of viruses with positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genomes that mostly infect plants, but also fungi and insects. The number of tymovirid sequences has been growing in the last few years with the extensive use of high-throughput sequencing platforms.

Regulatory Noncoding Small RNAs Are Diverse and Abundant in an Extremophilic Microbial Community
Regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) play large-scale and essential roles in many cellular processes across all domains of life. Microbial sRNAs have been extensively studied in model organisms, but very little is known about the dynamics of sRNA synthesis and ...
