Single-cell genomics of a bloom-forming phytoplankton species reveals population genetic structure across continents ISME J. (IF 11.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Raphael Gollnisch, Dag Ahrén, Karin Rengefors
The study of microbial diversity over time and space is fundamental to the understanding of their ecology and evolution. The underlying processes driving these patterns are not fully resolved but can be studied using population genetic approaches. Here we investigated the population genetic structure of Gonyostomum semen, a bloom-forming phytoplankton species, across two continents. The species appears

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in biofilms has been repeatedly studied by experimental evolution in vitro, but rarely in vivo. The complex microenvironment at the infection site imposes selective pressures on the bacterial biofilms, potentially influencing the development of AMR.

Sugar transporters spatially organize microbiota colonization along the longitudinal root axis of Arabidopsis Cell Host Microbe (IF 30.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Eliza P.-I. Loo, Paloma Durán, Tin Yau Pang, Philipp Westhoff, Chen Deng, Carlos Durán, Martin Lercher, Ruben Garrido-Oter, Wolf B. Frommer
Plant roots are functionally heterogeneous in cellular architecture, transcriptome profile, metabolic state, and microbial immunity. We hypothesized that axial differentiation may also impact spatial colonization by root microbiota along the root axis. We developed two growth systems, ArtSoil and CD-Rhizotron, to grow and then dissect roots into three segments. We demonstrate that distinct endospheric

Methanotrophic bacteria mitigate emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane (CH4) from a variety of anthropogenic and natural sources, including freshwater lakes, which are large sources of CH4 on a global scale. Despite a dependence on dioxygen (O2) for CH4 oxidation, abundant populations of putatively aerobic methanotrophs have been detected within microoxic and anoxic waters and sediments of

Many bacteria produce antimicrobial compounds such as lantibiotics to gain advantage in the competitive natural environments of microbiomes. Epilancins constitute an until now underexplored family of lantibiotics with an unknown ecological role and unresolved mode of action. We discovered production of an epilancin in the nasal isolate Staphylococcus epidermidis A37. Using bioinformatic tools, we found

Mechanisms of host cell exit by intracellular pathogens Mol. Microbiol. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Friedrich Frischknecht, Gabriele Pradel
Many pathogens pass through a life-cycle phase, during which they persist or multiply inside host cells. This intracellular lifestyle necessitates the evolution of machineries and mechanisms to enter into host cells but also to exit them. While we have a good understanding of pathogen entry processes, we know much less about the mechanisms of pathogen exit from their host cells. This lack of knowledge

Cell-to-cell heterogeneity drives host-virus coexistence in a bloom-forming alga ISME J. (IF 11.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Nir Joffe, Constanze Kuhlisch, Guy Schleyer, Nadia Samira Ahlers, Adva Shemi, Assaf Vardi
Algal blooms drive global biogeochemical cycles of key nutrients and serve as hotspots for biological interactions in the ocean. The massive blooms of the cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi are often infected by the lytic E. huxleyi virus (EhV), which is a major mortality agent triggering bloom demise. This multi-annual “boom and bust” pattern of E. huxleyi blooms suggests that coexistence

Over the past decade, environmental metagenomics and PCR-based marker gene surveys have revealed that several lineages beyond just a few well-established groups within the Euryarchaeota superphylum harbor the genetic potential for methanogenesis. One of these groups are the Archaeoglobi, a class of thermophilic euryarchaeotes that have long been considered to live non-methanogenic lifestyles. Here
