Bacterial interactions underpin worsening lung function in cystic fibrosis-associated infections by Damian W. Rivett, Lauren R. Hatfield, Helen Gavillet, Michelle Hardman, Christopher van der Gast

“…Using techniques akin to genome-wide association studies, we show and validate 22 taxa, present in the chronic respiratory disease associated with cystic fibrosis, which have significant interactions that are negatively associated with patient lung function, the majority of which are “non-pathogenic” organisms. This work highlights the need to understand the interactive landscapes of the microbiomes to fully appreciate the complexity and treat chronic lung infections. …”

Giant pit craters on the modern seafloor above magma-induced hydrothermal vent complexes of Scotia Sea, offshore Antarctica by L. Somoza, K. M. Andreassen, A. Plaza-Faverola, T. Medialdea, J. Gafeira, F. J. González, G. R. Dickens

“…For several events, the source of carbon has been attributed to explosive venting of gas produced when magmatic sills intruded organic-rich sediment. The concept mostly derives from studies of a few ancient sedimentary basins with numerous hydrothermal vent complexes (HTVCs) where craters appear to have formed across large areas of the seafloor at the same time, but good examples remain rare in strata younger than the Early Eocene. …”
