Bacterial genomes are remarkably stable from one generation to the next but are plastic on
an evolutionary time scale, substantially shaped by horizontal gene transfer, genome …

Genetic decoding is not 'frozen'as was earlier thought, but dynamic. One facet of this is
frameshifting that often results in synthesis of a C-terminal region encoded by a new frame …

With the overuse of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) prevalence is gradually
increasing. ARGs are considered emerging contaminants that are broadly concentrated and …

The effects of global warming are not limited to rising global temperatures and have set in
motion a complex chain of events contributing to climate change. A consequence of global …

Although toxic cyanobacterial blooms in western Lake Erie threaten drinking water supplies
and are promoted by nutrient loading, the precise nutrient regime that selects specific …

The widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) throughout aquatic
environments has raised global concerns for public health, but understanding of the …

Cyanobacteria, or oxyphotobacteria, are primary producers that establish ecological
interactions with a wide variety of organisms. Although their associations with eukaryotes …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms represent an increasing threat to freshwater resources
globally. Despite increased research, the physiological basis of how the dominant bloom …

Many degraded waterbodies around the world are subject to strong proliferations of
cyanobacteria–notorious for their toxicity, high biomass build-up and negative impacts on …

Rising CO2 levels may act as an important selective factor on the CO2-concentrating
mechanism (CCM) of cyanobacteria. We investigated genetic diversity in the CCM of …
