Metagenomic sequencing provides a culture-independent avenue to investigate the
complex microbial communities by constructing metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) …

Metagenomics has proven to be one of the most important research fields for microbial
ecology during the last decade. Starting from 16S rRNA marker gene analysis for the …

The cow rumen is adapted for the breakdown of plant material into energy and nutrients, a
task largely performed by enzymes encoded by the rumen microbiome. Here we present …

Approaches in molecular biology, particularly those that deal with high-throughput
sequencing of entire microbial communities (the field of metagenomics), are rapidly …

Motivation The nitrogen (N) cycle is a collection of important biogeochemical pathways in
the Earth ecosystem and has gained extensive foci in ecology and environmental studies …

Background Antibiotic resistance developed by bacteria is a significant threat to global
health. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) spread across different bacterial populations …

Microbial decomposition of soil carbon in high-latitude tundra underlain with permafrost is
one of the most important, but poorly understood, potential positive feedbacks of …

Annual cyanobacterial blooms dominated by Microcystis have occurred in western Lake Erie
(US/Canada) during summer months since 1995. The production of toxins by bloom-forming …

Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the biosphere, playing a crucial role in both
biogeochemistry of the planet and human health. However, identifying these …

Metagenome studies are becoming increasingly widespread, yielding important insights into
