A growing body of evidence suggests that the gut microbiota contributes to the development
of neurodegenerative diseases via the microbiota-gut-brain axis. As a contributing factor …

While decomposition of organic matter by bacteria plays a major role in nutrient cycling in
terrestrial ecosystems, the significance of viruses remains poorly understood. Here we …

Phosphorus (P) limitation of ecosystem processes is widespread in terrestrial habitats. While
a few auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) in bacteriophages from aquatic habitats are …

Viruses are often studied using metagenome-assembled sequences, but genome
incompleteness hampers comprehensive and accurate analyses. Contig Overlap Based Re …

The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) poses a substantial threat to human
health. Phage-mediated transduction could exacerbate ARG transmission. While several …

Oil reservoirs, being one of the significant subsurface repositories of energy and carbon,
host diverse microbial communities affecting energy production and carbon emissions …

Background The rumen microbiome enables ruminants to digest otherwise indigestible
feedstuffs, thereby facilitating the production of high-quality protein, albeit with suboptimal …

The rise of global temperature causes the degradation of the substantial reserves of carbon
(C) stored in tundra soils, in which microbial processes play critical roles. Viruses are known …

More and more focus has been placed on the processes by which viruses interact with
bacteria to influence the biogeochemical cycles. The intricacy of soil matrix and the …

Biological treatment is commonly used in coking wastewater (CWW) treatment. Prokaryotic
microbial communities in CWW treatment have been comprehensively studied. However …
