Soils are among the most diverse but least understood environments on the planet. Just below our feet, secluded from our sight, we find complex communities of bacteria, fungi, protists, and animals. These communities organize themselves in ...
Streptococcus pneumoniae adaptation to nutrient deprivation and immune modulation drives upper respiratory tract colonization [0.03%]
营养匮乏和免疫调节驱动的肺炎链球菌适应促进上呼吸道定植

Daan W Arends et al.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a successful colonizer of the human upper respiratory tract; however, the mechanisms that enable its persistence in this nutrient-limited environment, with numerous immune mechanisms in place, remain enigmatic. H...
Adaptations of gummivorous primate gut-associated bifidobacteria to type-II arabinogalactan utilization [0.03%]
胶状乳杆菌属肠道相关双歧杆菌适应II型半乳糖阿拉伯聚糖的利用能力
Yuki Sasaki,Tomoya Kozakai,Moe Inoue et al.
Yuki Sasaki et al.
Bifidobacteria inhabiting the primate gut exhibit host-dependent genetic diversification, particularly in their gene repertoire related to carbohydrate metabolism, suggesting adaptation to host diets. However, these diverse genetic traits r...
High molecular weight dissolved organic matter drives soil resistome proliferation by enhancing microbial competition and viral carbon metabolism [0.03%]
高分子量溶解有机质通过增强微生物竞争和病毒碳代谢促进土壤抗性基因库的增殖

Zi-Teng Liu et al.
Soil organic carbon is a key determinant of microbial community structure and function, yet the role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) bioavailability in shaping the soil antibiotic resistome remains poorly understood. Here, we combined pre...
Natural transformation drives large-scale genome mosaicism in human gut bifidobacteria [0.03%]

Although horizontal gene transfer drives bacterial diversification, its contribution to chromosome-scale variation in human gut commensals remains unclear. This study demonstrated that human-associated bifidobacteria undergo extensive chrom...
Viral lysis accelerates microbial succession patterns resembling diatom senescence [0.03%]
病毒裂解加速微生物演替模式,类似于硅藻衰老过程

Diatom blooms influence carbon cycling through organic matter production and its deposition or remineralization - processes mediated by the microbial community. Viruses can influence diatom bloom dynamics and even terminate blooms, yet inte...

In zoos, intensive human contact and artificial feeding may create pathways for microplastic (MP) ingestion and gut colonization. We hypothesized that ingested MPs form intestinal plastispheres with elevated pathogenic potential and enhance...
Selective conservation of symbiont cell-surface glycans across generations in a vertically transmitting coral [0.03%]
世代传递珊瑚中选择性保存共生体细胞表面聚糖
Giada Tortorelli,Nerissa L Fisher,Alyssa C Varela et al.
Giada Tortorelli et al.
Coral resilience under climate change depends on the stability of coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbioses. Vertically transmitting corals inherit symbionts directly from parental colonies, yet the extent to which symbiont cellular traits are conser...

Chloroplast-stealing (a.k.a., "kleptoplastidic") plankton transiently obtain and integrate prey metabolic machinery into their own cells. To do so, they must address a series of challenges, including physical localization of acquired machin...
