The marine labile dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is a dynamic reservoir of thousands of molecules that cycles approximately one-quarter of Earth primary production within days to weeks. After exc...

Environmental micro-compartment genomics provides efficient and high-throughput single-particle DNA sequencing that captures overlooked members of microbial communities.

Kent county council says union flags and flags of St George must come off street lights because of safety concerns A Reform-led council has ruled that union and St George’s flags must come down in order for a village’s traditional Christmas lights to go ahead, in a decision described as “beyond ironic”. Harrietsham parish council was told by Kent county council – whose leader once vowed not to remove flags put up “unilaterally by the people of Kent” – that flags must come down from street lights before festive lights go up because of safety concerns.

Cigarette butts are widely discarded in urban green spaces, yet their microbial health risks remain poorly understood. In a nationwide survey acros...

Opposing forces generated by exopolysaccharide trail binding versus type IV pilus retraction generate a high cyclic diGMP–high cyclic AMP state in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that promotes social motility.

A previously uncharacterized microbial enzyme is responsible for the production of molecular hydrogen in the gut, which drives the growth of other bacteria and has implications for human health.

Abstract. The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB; https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org) provides a phylogenetically consistent and rank normalized genome-based taxonomy

Previously the country was one of the world's only mosquito-free zones.

Marine microbes play critical roles in global ocean biogeochemical cycles as primary degraders of organic matter, especially by degrading and recycling abundant macromolecules like polysaccharides, li...
