The chromosomal organization of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria

Nature Communications, 2017
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important mechanism for genome evolution and adaptation in bacteria. Here, Oliveira and colleagues find HGT hotspots comprising  ~ 1% of the chromosomal regions in 80 bacterial species.

Environmental shaping of codon usage and functional adaptation across microbial communities. [PDF]

, 2013
Microbial communities represent the largest portion of the Earth's biomass. Metagenomics projects use high-throughput sequencing to survey these communities and shed light on genetic capabilities that enable microbes to inhabit every corner of the ...

Sequence-based identification of inositol monophosphatase-like histidinol-phosphate phosphatases (HisN) in Corynebacterium glutamicum, Actinobacteria, and beyond

BMC Microbiology, 2017
Background The eighth step of l-histidine biosynthesis is carried out by an enzyme called histidinol-phosphate phosphatase (HolPase). Three unrelated HolPase families are known so far.

Environmental drivers of viral community composition in Antarctic soils identified by viromics

Microbiome, 2017
Background The Antarctic continent is considered the coldest and driest place on earth with simple ecosystems, devoid of higher plants. Soils in the ice-free regions of Antarctica are known to harbor a wide range of microorganisms from primary producers ...

Salinity Gradient Controls Microbial Community Structure and Assembly in Coastal Solar Salterns

, 2022
Salinity acts as a critical environmental filter on microbial communities in natural systems, negatively affecting microbial diversity. However, how salinity affects microbial community assembly remains unclear. This study used Wendeng multi-pond saltern

Impact of Harvest on Switchgrass Leaf Microbial Communities [PDF]

, 2021
Switchgrass is a promising feedstock for biofuel production, with potential for leveraging its native microbial community to increase productivity and resilience to environmental stress. Here, we characterized the bacterial, archaeal and fungal diversity

Microbial genome sequencing

Nature, 2000
AbstractComplete genome sequences of 30 microbial species have been determined during the past five years, and work in progress indicates that the complete sequences of more than 100 further microbial species will be available in the next two to four years.

Latent evolution of biofilm formation depends on life-history and genetic background

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023
Adaptation to one environment can often generate phenotypic and genotypic changes which impact the future ability of an organism to thrive in other environmental conditions.

Characterization of Bacterial Transcriptional Regulatory Networks in Escherichia coli through Genome-Wide In Vitro Run-Off Transcription/RNA-seq (ROSE)

Microorganisms, 2023
The global characterization of transcriptional regulatory networks almost exclusively uses in vivo conditions, thereby providing a snapshot on multiple regulatory interactions at the same time.
