Dominance of opportunistic generalist species after aquatic microbial community coalescence Coalescence describes the mixing of two entire communities, a process frequently encountered by naturally occurring microbial communities. Such coalescence events can significantly impact microbial c...

Meta-omics sequence data from 116 microbial communities and 1,372 novel MAGs from 26 coastal sites in France and Chile 🌍🦠 Including time-series data from lagoons and fjords—ecosystems still strongly underrepresented in meta-omics surveys. Our data paper is now online: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

metaTraits: a large-scale integration of microbial phenotypic trait information Abstract. Microbes differ greatly in their organismal structure, physiology, and environmental adaptation, yet information about these phenotypic traits is

Improved maximum growth rate prediction from microbial genomes by integrating phylogenetic information - Nature Communications Microbial maximum growth rates vary widely across species, and their measurement is challenging, especially for uncultivated organisms. Here, Xu, Zakem & Weissman present Phydon, a framework for g...
