Article Synopsis
- Research data management (RDM) is crucial for implementing FAIR and Open Science principles, leading to the development of valuable tools and resources for effective data management in scientific research.
- Despite the valuable resources produced by ELIXIR Platforms and Nodes, they are currently scattered, creating challenges in their application and dissemination, highlighting the need for coordinated RDM efforts.
- The proposed ELIXIR RDM Community aims to unify RDM experts, enhance knowledge exchange, provide training, and develop best practices, thereby strengthening RDM skills and addressing the evolving needs within the scientific community.
Article Synopsis
- Recent sequencing advancements have enhanced our understanding of fish-associated microorganisms, particularly focusing on the less-studied gill microbiome.
- Our research identified a beneficial relationship between nitrogen-cycling bacteria and teleost fish, where these bacteria convert toxic ammonia into harmless dinitrogen gas.
- Over half of analyzed fish gill microbiomes contained ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, suggesting a widespread presence, which could significantly influence nitrogen excretion in various fish species and warrant further investigation into their roles in fish metabolism.
Recently, an activity-based labelling protocol for the in vivo detection of ammonia- and alkane-oxidizing bacteria became available. This functional tagging technique enabled targeted studies of these environmentally widespread functional groups, but it failed to capture ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA). Since their first discovery, AOA have emerged as key players within the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle, but our knowledge regarding their distribution and abundance in natural and engineered ecosystems is mainly derived from PCR-based and metagenomic studies.

Within the phylum, bacteria of the class Phycisphaerae have been found in a multitude of environmental datasets. However, only a few species have been brought into culture so far and even enrichments are scarce.

Methane emissions in these systems are largely mitigated by methane-oxidizing microorganisms. Here, we characterized the physiological and metabolic response of freshwater methanotrophic archaea to salt stress.
