Enrichment of electrotrophic microorganisms from contrasting shallow-sea hydrothermal environments in bioelectrochemical reactors by Antoine Carissimo, Victoria Comes, Alenica Heussner, Anne-Hélène Prime, Roy E. Price, Gaël Erauso, Pierre-Pol Liebgott, Sven Kerzenmacher, Guillaume Pillot

“…Finally, microbial communities were described by 16S metabarcoding and ordination methods, and potential electrotrophic taxa were identified. In Panarea reactors, higher growth was correlated with a few bacterial genera, mainly Bacillus and Pseudoalteromonas, including, for the former, at higher temperatures (55°C and 75°C). …”

Identification of novel fructo-oligosaccharide bacterial consumers by pulse metatranscriptomics in a human stool sample by Catherine Prattico, Emmanuel Gonzalez, Lharbi Dridi, Shiva Jazestani, Kristin E. Low, D. Wade Abbott, Corinne F. Maurice, Bastien Castagner

“…Despite being well studied, we do not yet have a complete picture of all FOS-consuming gut bacterial taxa. To identify new bacterial consumers, we used a short exposure of microbial communities in a stool sample to FOS or galactomannan as the sole carbon source to induce glycan metabolism genes. …”

Spatial and temporal variation of Antarctic microbial interactions: a study around the west Antarctic Peninsula by Swan L. S. Sow, Willem H. van de Poll, Rachel Eveleth, Jeremy J. Rich, Hugh W. Ducklow, Patrick D. Rozema, Catherine M. Luria, Henk Bolhuis, Michael P. Meredith, Linda A. Amaral-Zettler, Julia C. Engelmann

“…Overall, in terms of biotic drivers, causal-effect modelling suggests that bacteria were stronger drivers of ecosystem dynamics at Palmer, while microbial eukaryotes played a stronger role at Rothera. The parasitic taxa Syndiniales persevered at both sites across the seasons, with Palmer and Rothera harbouring different key groups. …”

Changes in the intestinal microbiota induced by the postnatal environment and their association with hypertension by Patrizia Dardi, Camille Perella Coutinho, Sarah de Oliveira, Simone Aparecida Teixeira, Renaide Rodrigues Ferreira Gacek, Eduardo Purgatto, Marco Aurélio Ramirez Vinolo, Marcelo Nicolás Muscará, Luciana Venturini Rossoni

“…Thus, we could establish a link between microbiota composition and hypertension development, associating it with the loss of the ''low-abundance'' bacterial taxa. Our data suggest that the postnatal environment is pivotal to promoting gut microbiota compositional changes and contributes to hypertension development.…”

Structure and metabolic function of spatiotemporal pit mud microbiome by Zhihua Li, Chi Zhao, Zhenyu Mao, Fengju Zhang, Ling Dong, Chuan Song, Yao Chen, Xin Fu, Zonghua Ao, Yanfei Xiong, Qin Hui, Weizhi Song, Petri Penttinen, Suyi Zhang

“…However, the ecology and metabolic functions of PM remain poorly understood, as many taxa in PM represent largely novel lineages. In this study, we used a combination of metagenomic analysis and chemical derivatization LC–MS analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of microbial community structure, metabolic function, phylogeny, horizontal gene transfer, and the relationship with carboxyl compounds in spatiotemporal PM samples. …”

Co-obligate symbioses have repeatedly evolved across aphids, but partner identity and nutritional contributions vary across lineages by Manzano-Marín, Alejandro, Coeur d’acier, Armelle, Clamens, Anne-Laure, Cruaud, Corinne, Barbe, Valérie, Jousselin, Emmanuelle

“…We also show that these secondary co-obligate symbionts have typically evolved from facultative symbiotic taxa. Genome-based metabolic inference confirms interdependencies between Buchnera and its partners for the production of essential nutrients but shows contributions vary across pairs of co-obligate associates. …”
