Highly divergent CRESS DNA and picorna-like viruses associated with bleached thalli of the green seaweed Ulva

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Marine macroalgae (seaweeds) are important primary producers and foundation species in coastal ecosystems around the world. Seaweeds currently contribute to an estimated 51% of the global mariculture production, with a long-term growth rate of 6% per ...

Structural characterization of a soil viral auxiliary metabolic gene product – a functional chitosanase

Nature Communications, 2022
Metagenomics is revealing auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) in soil viral genomes. Here, authors solve the crystal structure for a soil viral AMG product, free and ligand bound, and show the protein can decompose chitin, a common carbon polymer.

Assembly of viral genomes from metagenomes [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Viral infections remain a serious global health issue. Metagenomic approaches are increasingly used in the detection of novel viral pathogens but also to generate complete genomes of uncultivated viruses. In silico identification of complete viral genomes from sequence data would allow rapid phylogenetic characterization of these new viruses.

Gemella morbillorum Promotes Colorectal Carcinogenesis: LPBDCP‐Mediated Invasion Activates Ras Signaling and Destabilizes p53

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. A global fecal metagenomic analysis identified Gemella morbillorum as a key contributor to the CRC‐associated microbiota. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that Gemella morbillorum is enriched in CRC tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues.

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]

, 2019
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.
