Benchmarking microbial growth rate predictions from metagenomes

Andrew M. Long et al.

Summary: The study showed that current PTR approaches poorly predict actual growth of most marine bacterial populations, but maximum growth rates can be approximated from genomic characteristics.

Energetic scaling in microbial growth

Salvatore Calabrese et al.

Summary: The study provides a systematic analysis of microbial growth thermodynamics, demonstrating the relationship between microbial energy conversion, dissipation mechanisms, and entropy production. It shows that dissipation mechanisms are linked to the electron donor uptake rate, leading to a proportional relationship between thermodynamic efficiency and electron donor uptake rate.

Metagenomic Quantification of Genes with Internal Standards

Emily Crossette et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates an assembly-independent metagenomic quantification approach that can screen and quantify over 2,000 genes simultaneously, delivering absolute gene concentrations comparable to qPCR. By comparing with traditional qPCR methods, this approach avoids biases caused by primer specificity, and is capable of detecting orders of magnitude more genes than qPCR assays.

Estimating maximal microbial growth rates from cultures, metagenomes, and single cells via codon usage patterns

Jake L. Weissman et al.

Summary: This study explored the maximal growth rates of microbes and found significant variations in growth rates across different orders of magnitude. Researchers developed genomic estimators to predict maximal growth rates from hundreds of thousands of genomes. The results revealed two distinct growth classes of organisms and proposed evolutionary definitions of oligotrophy and copiotrophy based on selective regimes.

Desulfovibrio feeding Methanobacterium with electrons in conductive methanogenic aggregates from coastal zones

Shiling Zheng et al.

Summary: Desulfovibrio and Methanobacterium species dominate electrochemically active aggregates, contributing to ethanol metabolism and converting carbon dioxide to methane, respectively. Desulfovibrio strain JY transfers electrons directly to Methanothrix harundinacea, while Methanobacterium strain YSL may accept electrons from Desulfovibrio strain JY for carbon dioxide reduction to methane in the aggregate.

Benchmarking microbiome transformations favors experimental quantitative approaches to address compositionality and sampling depth biases

Veronica Llorens-Rico et al.

Summary: The authors use simulated quantitative gut microbial communities to benchmark the performance of 13 common data transformations in determining diversity as well as microbe-microbe and microbe-metadata associations, finding that quantitative approaches incorporating microbial load variation outperform computational strategies in downstream analyses, urging for a widespread adoption of quantitative approaches, or recommending specific computational transformations whenever determination of microbial load of samples is not feasible.
