Metagenome-guided culturomics for the targeted enrichment of gut microbes by Jeremy Armetta, Simone S. Li, Troels Holger Vaaben, Ruben Vazquez-Uribe, Morten O. A. Sommer

“…We also explore the impact of modifications on the composition of cultured communities and establish a link between medium preference and microbial phylogeny. Leveraging these insights, we demonstrate that combinations of media modifications can further enhance the targeted enrichment of taxa and metabolic functions, such as Collinsella aerofaciens, or strains harboring biochemical pathways involved in dopamine metabolism. …”

“3D Cladistics”: a new perspective for phylogenetic analyses and a tool for citizen science by Márcia Venâncio, Carlos Antunes, Dimítri de Araújo Costa

“… This study uses the cladistics method, three-dimensional (3D) illustration, and its importance for scientific communication in referring to phylogeny study. Since morphological cladistics presently is less used, we intend to innovate this analysis, so it becomes more perceptible visually, which may awaken interest in phylogenetic studies. …”

Molecular systematics of Keratinophyton: the inclusion of species formerly referred to Chrysosporium and description of four new species by Roman Labuda, Andreas Bernreiter, Doris Hochenauer, Alena Kubátová, Hazal Kandemir, Christoph Schüller

“…The new taxa are well supported by phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) region, the combined data analysis of ITS and the nuclear large subunit (LSU) rDNA, and their phenotype. Based on ITS phylogeny, within the Keratinophyton clade, K. lemmensii is clustered with K. durum, K. hubeiense, K. submersum, and K. siglerae, while K. gollerae, K. straussii and K. wagneri are resolved in a separate terminal cluster. …”

Genetic Diversity in Passiflora Species Assessed by Morphological and ITS Sequence Analysis by Shiamala Devi Ramaiya, Japar Sidik Bujang, Muta Harah Zakaria

“…This study used morphological characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA to investigate the phylogeny of Passiflora species. The samples were collected from various regions of East Malaysia, and discriminant function analysis based on linear combinations of morphological variables was used to classify the Passiflora species. …”

Nature of viruses and the radical change in viral taxonomy by V. V. Makarov, L. P. Buchatsky

“…Changes in the rank hierarchy are based on the evolution of the recognition of virus taxa over time, from a traditional phenotype-based characterization process to a multistage process that includes comparative sequence analyses of conserved genes and proteins, including gene phylogeny, gene synteny and shared gene content. The ICTV, that oversees the official classification of viruses and nomenclature of taxa, accepts possible non-hierarchical classifications of viruses beyond taxonomic attribution. …”

New subgenera of Ellipteroides Becker (Tipuloidea: Limoniidae) and their phylogenetic implications by Iwona Kania-Kłosok, Daubian Santos, Katarzyna Kopeć, Wiesław Krzemiński

“…The new discovery adds to the knowledge of the crane flies’ history evolution, especially its Eocene stage and new view on phylogeny within the genus Ellipteroides. A phylogenetic analysis was carried out and we propose a new classification within the genus Ellipteroides. …”

Insects’ RNA Profiling Reveals Absence of “Hidden Break” in 28S Ribosomal RNA Molecule of Onion Thrips, Thrips tabaci by Rosaline Wanjiru Macharia, Fidelis Levi Ombura, Erick Onyango Aroko

“…Divergence of 28S rRNA sequences confirms variation of both size and composition of gap region among insect species. However, phylogeny reconstruction does not support speciation as a possible source of the hidden break in insect’s 28S rRNA. …”
