Spore-forming bacteria are prevalent in mammalian guts and have implications for host health and nutrition. The production of dormant spores is thought to play an important role in the colonization, persistence, and transmission of these bacteria. Spore formation also modifies interactions among microorganisms such as infection by phages.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers collected extensive data from river sediments, reconstructing microbial and viral genomes to better understand their roles in biogeochemical processes such as organic matter decomposition and nitrogen cycling.
  • * The study established a conceptual model highlighting the interconnected metabolic pathways of microorganisms and their relationship with viral communities, culminating in a new genomic catalog of microbial and viral diversity from the Columbia River sediments.
