Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) has been widely detected in various environments and its potential environmental risks have caused great concerns. However, the impact mechanism of SMX on microbial interactions among anammox consortia remain unknown. A long-term exposure experiments (140 d) was carried out to systematically examine the influence of SMX (0-1000 μg/L) on the anammox system, especially microbial network dynamics and variations of key metabolic genes. Results showed that anammox system could adapt to SMX below 500 μg/L and maintain a high nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE) of 85.35 ± 2.42%, while 1000 μg/L SMX significantly decreased the abundance of functional microbes and deteriorated denitrification performance with NRE dropped to 36.92 ± 15.01%. Co-occurrence network analysis indicated that 1000 μg/L SMX decreased the interactions between Proteobacteria and Chloroflexi and limited AnAOB from playing an important role as central nodes in the subnetwork of Planctomycetes. Metagenomics analysis found that genes associated with nitrogen removal (i.e., hdh, hzs, nirS, and hao) showed lower expression level after addition of SMX, while SMX-related ARGs (sul1 and sul2) increased by 1.22 and 2.68 times. This study provided us a relatively comprehensive perspective in response of microbial interactions and metabolic activity to various SMX concentrations.

The inclusion of microalgae in functional fish diets has a notable impact on the welfare, metabolism and physiology of the organism. The microbial communities associated with the fish are directly influenced by the host's diet, and further understanding the impact on mucosal microbiota is needed. This study aimed to analyze the microbiota associated with the skin and gills of Sparus aurata fed a diet containing 10% microalgae.

Sponges harbour complex microbiomes and as ancient metazoans and important ecosystem players are emerging as powerful models to understand the evolution and ecology of symbiotic interactions. Metagenomic studies have previously described the functional features of sponge symbionts, however, little is known about the metabolic interactions and processes that occur under different environmental conditions. To address this issue, we construct here constraint-based, genome-scale metabolic networks for the microbiome of the sponge Stylissa sp.

Conjugative plasmids promote the dissemination and evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens. However, plasmid acquisition can produce physiological alterations in the bacterial host, leading to potential fitness costs that determine the clinical success of bacteria-plasmid associations. In this study, we use a transcriptomic approach to characterize the interactions between a globally disseminated carbapenem resistance plasmid, pOXA-48, and a diverse collection of multidrug resistant (MDR) enterobacteria.

The role of myeloid cells in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 is well established, in particular as drivers of cytokine production and systemic inflammation characteristic of severe COVID-19. However, the potential for myeloid cells to act as bona fide targets of productive SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the specifics of entry, remain unclear. Using a panel of anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) we performed a detailed assessment of antibody-mediated infection of monocytes/macrophages.
