Despite the growing catalogue of studies detailing taxonomic and functional composition soil bacterial communities, life history traits those communities remain largely unknown. This study analyzes a global dataset metagenomes to explore environmental drivers growth potential, fundamental aspect history. We find that estimated from codon usage statistics, was highest in forested biomes lowest arid latitudes. indicates productivity generally reflects ecosystem globally. Accordingly, strongest predictors potential were indicators, such as distance equator, properties vary along gradients, pH carbon nitrogen ratios. also observe negatively correlated with relative abundances genes involved carbohydrate metabolism, demonstrating tradeoffs between resource acquisition bacteria. Overall, we identify macroecological patterns link rates cycling. The authors show latitudes, which

Biodegradation Potential of Microorganisms in Hydrocarbon-Polluted Baltic Sea Sediments

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

The spill of crude oil and petroleum derivatives comprises the majority oceans pollution leads to acute chronic damages exposed organisms coastal communities. Some bacteria fungi are able biodegrade hydrocarbons both in terrestrial aquatic environments. Sediments taken from Baltic Sea vicinity one terminal, Curonian Lagoon strait with high anthropogenic shipping pressure a source microorganisms having potential degrade products. Next generation sequencing (NGS) identified taxa (e.g. Thalassolituus, Exiguobacterium) were indicative consistent presence sediments. Through enrichment sediments samples oil, marine diesel lubricating line NGS study results, we isolate several strains oil-degrading belonging genera Pseudomonas Priestia, members family Lysobacteriaceae; as well Dipodoscaceae, Dipodoscales incertae sedis, Yarrowia, Cyberlindnera, Geotrichum, Pichia, Candida Fusarium. results suggest that bacterial fungal communities present demonstrate significant for bioremediation other pollutants.

Abstract Robust evidence on relationships between the human microbiome and health are critical for understanding improving condition. However, there is little information about methodological approaches to combine analyze multiple data sets. To address this gap, we conducted a scoping review of studies that sequencing from sets understand study objectives, sources selection, feature -table assembly methods, analyses. References were identified through systematic search literature published 2011 2022. Our final included 60 articles. Despite wide-spread use word “meta-analysis,” found only 24 used process select their sets, suggesting meanings term within field. While more than two thirds at least one publicly available source, 19 had request original authors. Most (60%) combined disjoint hypervariable regions. The number regions was not associated with table construction method, but method influenced analytical resolution. results suggest community needs examine terminology analytic combining sets; additional work needed explore impact source bias in studies; invite an independent evaluation methods across

Comparing eDNA and eRNA Sampling Methodologies From Pond Environments

Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 35(2)

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

ABSTRACT Molecular traces are increasingly being applied to assess the presence of species and communities. Studies on environmental DNA (eDNA) have, a large extent, become common practice in detection, but less studies have compared biodiversity estimations with more temporary RNA (eRNA). This study compares metabarcoding results from pond water obtained both molecule types by sequencing V4 region 18S rRNA marker. Water was collected two depths, 20 80 cm, filtered sequentially through filter porosities, 0.45 0.22 μm. Each cut half before fixation either 96% ETOH or RNAlater. The showed no differences between fixatives for molecule. Overall, estimates eDNA significantly overperformed eRNA, likely due higher concentrations terrestrial sources. Comparisons depths variation only, increasing levels found at upper layer. Both pore sizes captured distinctive compositions taxa, where about 30% diversity uniquely identified second, finer filter. Taken together, these findings imply that choice molecular marker, depth size affects pond.
