Assessment of biodiversity using metabarcoding data, such as from bulk or environmental
DNA sampling, is becoming increasingly relevant in ecology, biodiversity sciences and …

The operational temperature and nature of the substrates are two critical parameters in
sha** the functional microbiota and determining the biogas productivity of field-scale …

Microbial breakdown of organic matter is one of the most important processes on Earth, yet
the controls of decomposition are poorly understood. Here we track 36 terrestrial human …

The gut microbiome significantly influences immune responses and the efficacy of immune
checkpoint inhibitors. We conducted a clinical trial (NCT04264975) combining an anti …

Live bacterial therapeutics (LBTs) could reverse diseases by engrafting in the gut and
providing persistent beneficial functions in the host. However, attempts to functionally …

Global wildfire activity has increased since the 1970s and is projected to intensify throughout
the 21st century. Wildfires change the composition and biodegradability of soil organic …

Highly efficient sulfate reduction coupled to autotrophic denitrification plus nitrification is
demonstrated by integrating an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) with a membrane …

In metagenomic analyses of microbiomes, one of the first steps is usually the taxonomic
classification of reads by comparison to a database of previously taxonomically classified …

While partial nitrification (PN) has the potential to reduce energy for aeration, it has proven to
be unstable when treating low-strength wastewater. This study introduces an innovative …

Despite the growing catalogue of studies detailing the taxonomic and functional composition
of soil bacterial communities, the life history traits of those communities remain largely …
