Managing water quality with microbial impairment caused by poses unique challenges regarding the determination of fecal host origin. Most water monitoring is performed based on counts that neither detect the location of the introduction of pollution nor identify the type of contaminating . The use of sequenced-based microbial source tracking could allow for identification of fecal origin and potential remediation of pollution.

Article Synopsis
  • This microorganism creates distinct iron-mineralized mats in wetlands and streams, with unresolved questions regarding its physiology and metabolism.
  • Recent research has reconstructed nine high-quality genomes from samples, indicating it can utilize iron oxidation for energy while also having the capacity for carbon fixation and utilizing organic compounds.
  • The findings support the idea that this organism is a mixotroph, thriving in iron-rich environments by combining iron oxidation with organic substrates for energy.

Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are a group of deadly malignancies encompassing intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma, and ampullary carcinoma. Here, we present the integrative analysis of 63 BTC cell lines via multi-omics clustering and genome- scale CRISPR screens, providing a platform to illuminate BTC biology and inform therapeutic development. We identify dependencies broadly enriched in BTC compared to other cancers as well as dependencies selective to the anatomic subtypes.
