… 93% ANI) to Cyanobium usitatum, a cosmopolitan species dominant in temperate reservoirs,
cold lakes, and low salinity brackish ecosystems such as the Baltic Sea (Cabello-Yeves et al…

We present a metagenomic study of Lake Baikal (East Siberia). Two samples obtained from
the water column under the ice cover (5 and 20 m deep) in March 2016 have been deep …

… Studies of the genome of the isolated strains and unpublished experiments (Cabello-Yeves
et al. in preparation) have suggested that they can carry out mixed acid fermentation in …

RuBisCO (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is one the most abundant
enzymes on Earth. Virtually all food webs depend on its activity to supply fixed carbon. In …

Freshwater picocyanobacteria including Synechococcus remain poorly studied at the genomic
level, compared to their marine representatives. Here, using a metagenomic assembly …

The phylum Verrucomicrobia contains freshwater representatives which remain poorly studied
at the genomic, taxonomic, and ecological levels. In this work we present eighteen new …

Background Lake Baikal is the largest body of liquid freshwater on Earth. Previous studies
have described the microbial composition of this habitat, but the viral communities from this …

… Our analysis of the microbiota inhabiting dLB indicates that, as other works have suggested
(Cabello-Yeves and Rodriguez-Valera 2019), salinity is the key factor influencing the …

Background The Black Sea is the largest brackish water body in the world, although it is
connected to the Mediterranean Sea and presents an upper water layer similar to some regions …

Biofilm community development has been established as a sequential process starting from
the attachment of single cells on a surface. However, microorganisms are often found as …
