Parabacteroides distasonis is the type strain for the genus Parabacteroides, a group of gram-negative
anaerobic bacteria that commonly colonize the gastrointestinal tract of numerous …

Humans are considered “superorganisms,” harboring a diverse microbial collective that
outnumbers human cells 10 to 1. Complex and gravely understudied host- and microbe-microbe …

Microbiomes exert significant influence on our planet's ecology. Elucidating the identities of
individual microbes within these communities and how they interact is a vital research …

The majority of microbial genomic diversity remains unexplored. This is largely due to our
inability to culture most microorganisms in isolation, which is a prerequisite for traditional …

The rhizosphere-colonizing bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis 30-84 is an effective
biological control agent against take-all disease of wheat. In this study, we characterize a small-…

Assembling a complete genome from a single bacterial cell, termed single-cell genomics, is
challenging with current technologies. Recovery rates of complete genomes from …

Bacteria–fungi interactions (BFIs) are essential in ecosystem functioning. These interactions
are modulated not only by local nutritional conditions but also by the physicochemical …

Polar marine ecosystems hold the potential for bioactive compound biodiscovery, based on
their untapped macro- and microorganism diversity. Characterization of polar benthic marine …

Background Single cell genomics (SCG) is a combination of methods whose goal is to
decipher the complete genomic sequence from a single cell and has been applied mostly to …

Background Premastication, the transfer of pre-chewed food, is a common infant and young
child feeding practice among the Tsimane, forager-horticulturalists living in the Bolivian …
