In this review, we consider the regulatory strategies of aquatic oligotrophs, microbial cells
that are adapted to thrive under low-nutrient concentrations in oceans, lakes, and other …

Related groups of microbes are widely distributed across Earth's habitats, implying
numerous dispersal and adaptation events over evolutionary time. However, relatively little …

Ecology and evolution are considered distinct processes that interact on contemporary time
scales in microbiomes. Here, to observe these processes in a natural system, we collected a …

Background The widespread nature of plastic pollution has given rise to wide scientific and
social concern regarding the capacity of these materials to serve as vectors for pathogenic …

Gemmatimonadota is a diverse bacterial phylum commonly found in environments such as
soils, rhizospheres, fresh waters, and sediments. So far, the phylum contains just six cultured …

The evolutionary trajectory of Methylophilaceae includes habitat transitions from freshwater
sediments to freshwater and marine pelagial that resulted in genome reduction (genome …

Freshwaters play an essential role in providing ecosystem services worldwide, however, the
water quality of different water bodies is strongly influenced by human activities such as …

Abstract Vitamin B1 (thiamin, B1) is an essential micronutrient for cells, yet intriguingly in
aquatic systems most bacterioplankton are unable to synthesize it de novo (auxotrophy) …

Glucose is an important carbon source for microbial growth, and its content in infertile soils is
essential for the growth of bacteria. Since the mechanism of oligotrophic bacterium …

The emergence of bacterial species is rooted in their inherent potential for continuous
evolution and adaptation to an ever-changing ecological landscape. The adaptive capacity …
