Cells must maintain an equilibrium between external and internal sources of oxidation while also employing endogenously generated reactive species to support intracellular signaling and proliferation. This balancing act is crucial for funga...

Legumes are not only major cash crops but also contribute valuable nitrogen to cropping systems due to their ability to form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia in specialised root organs called nodules. To balance the co...

Cyanidiophyceae red algae dominate many geothermal habitats and provide important tools for investigating the evolution of extremophilic eukaryotes and associated microbial communities. We propose that resource sharing drove genome reductio...

Unlike many fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have proven recalcitrant to genetic manipulation due to their obligate biotrophic lifestyle and multinucleate, coenocytic cellular structure. In this review, we examine past attempts at A...

Two-component systems allow bacteria to respond to specific environmental signals with defined adaptive phenotypic changes, a process that requires time and may be inadequate for contending with rapidly changing environments. In contrast, p...

The presence of tRNAs in bacteriophage genomes has intrigued scientists since their discovery in the early 1960s, as phages were believed to rely on the host tRNAs for their translation. Over the years, a multitude of hypotheses have been e...

High variability in human gut microbiota is a challenge in the identification of consistent microbe-disease associations. Two Cell papers by Nishijima et al. and Abdill, Graham, et al. addressed this by curating large public microbiome data...

Microbial inoculants are increasingly used for beneficial purposes in agriculture, bioremediation, and medicine, but they can carry risks of generating invasive microbes. Here, we present a roadmap for guarding against these invasions, prop...
