Microbes are important for the development of kelp, but little is understood about the functions encoded by these microbes. Here, we assembled 1,794 metagenome-associated genomes (MAGs) from bacteria that colonize gametophytes of the giant kelp . MAGs were grouped into 149 dereplicated strains. Functional annotation is also presented.

The continuous interaction between phages and their respective hosts has resulted in the evolution of multiple bacterial immune mechanisms. However, the diversity and prevalence of antiviral defense systems in complex communities are still unknown. We therefore investigated the diversity and abundance of viral defense systems in 3,038 high-quality bacterial and archaeal genomes from the rumen.

Codon bias, nucleotide selection, and genome size predict in situ bacterial growth rate and transcription in rewetted soil.

In soils, the first rain after a prolonged dry period represents a major pulse event impacting soil microbial community function, yet we lack a full understanding of the genomic traits associated with the microbial response to rewetting. Genomic traits such as codon usage bias and genome size have been linked to bacterial growth in soils-however, often through measurements in culture. Here, we used metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) with O-water stable isotope probing and metatranscriptomics to track genomic traits associated with growth and transcription of soil microorganisms over one week following rewetting of a grassland soil.

Dinotefuran (DIN) is toxic to non-target organisms and accelerates the evolution of antibiotic resistance, which poses a problem for the stable operation of the activated sludge process in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, the emergence and the transfer mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in activated sludge systems under DIN stress remains unclear. Thus, in the study, the potential impact of DIN on ARGs and virulence factor genes (VFGs) in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was investigated in depth using metagenomic binning and functional modules.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how adding nitrogen fertilizers affects the remobilization of cadmium in rice fields, highlighting increased cadmium levels in rice due to ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) compared to nitrogen (NO-N).
  • Organic acids secreted by rice roots, particularly under NH-N treatment, were found to play a significant role in increasing soluble cadmium content and impacting microbial community functions.
  • The research suggests a complex interaction between nutrient application, cadmium levels, and microbial dynamics that could elevate cadmium exposure through rice consumption.

The HoloFood project used a hologenomic approach to understand the impact of host-microbiota interactions on salmon and chicken production by analysing multiomic data, phenotypic characteristics, and associated metadata in response to novel feeds. The project's raw data, derived analyses, and metadata are deposited in public, open archives (BioSamples, European Nucleotide Archive, MetaboLights, and MGnify), so making use of these diverse data types may require access to multiple resources. This is especially complex where analysis pipelines produce derived outputs such as functional profiles or genome catalogues.
