Previous reports suggest planktonic and under-ice winter microbial communities in Lake Erie are dominated by diatoms. Here, we report the assembled metatranscriptomes of 79 Lake Erie surface water microbial communities spanning both the winter (28 samples) and spring (51 samples) months over spatial, temporal, and climatic gradients in 2019 through 2020.

- Anaerobic gut fungi, specifically Neocallimastigomycetes, coexist with bacteria in the digestive systems of large herbivores and may impact bacterial growth due to their rich genetic makeup.
- In a study, researchers found that when they co-cultivated a particular strain of rumen bacteria (UWB7) with these fungi, both organisms showed significant changes in their gene expression, indicating a close interaction.
- The findings suggest that while anaerobic fungi are outnumbered, they can still thrive and potentially produce unique antimicrobial compounds in response to the presence of bacteria, highlighting their role as a source for novel antibiotics.
• Plant population genomics informs evolutionary biology, breeding, conservation and bioenergy feedstock development. For example, the detection of reliable phenotype-genotype associations and molecular signatures of selection requires a detailed knowledge about genome-wide patterns of allele frequency variation, linkage disequilibrium and recombination. • We resequenced 16 genomes of the model tree Populus trichocarpa and genotyped 120 trees from 10 subpopulations using 29,213 single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
