Short- and long-read metagenomics of urban and rural South African gut microbiomes reveal a transitional composition and undescribed taxa

Fiona B. Tamburini et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers analyzed the gut microbiome of individuals living in rural and urban areas of South Africa using short- and long-read DNA sequencing. They found transitional composition, high inter-individual diversity, and many undescribed taxa. This study highlights the importance of understanding the gut microbiota in different populations for a comprehensive understanding of health and disease.

Biosynthetic potential of the global ocean microbiome

Lucas Paoli et al.

Summary: Natural microbial communities are diverse and offer great potential for the discovery of enzymes and biochemical compounds. However, studying this diversity and assigning the synthesis of compounds to their hosts is challenging. In this study, we integrated microbial genomes from various sources and discovered thousands of new biosynthetic gene clusters, including in previously unsuspected phylogenetic groups. We identified a lineage rich in biosynthetic gene clusters and characterized the structures and enzymology of bioactive compounds. This research demonstrates the value of microbiomics-driven strategies in exploring previously undescribed enzymes and natural products.

A genome and gene catalog of glacier microbiomes

Yongqin Liu et al.

Summary: The study presents a comprehensive glacier microbial genome and gene catalog from Tibetan glaciers, which includes genomes and metagenome-assembled genomes representing 968 candidate species from 30 phyla. The catalog also contains over 25 million non-redundant protein-encoding genes and has demonstrated its utility in exploring secondary metabolite biosynthetic potentials, identifying virulence factors, and comparing global glacier metagenomes.

Population-Level Configurations of Gut Mycobiome Across 6 Ethnicities in Urban and Rural China

Yang Sun et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant variability in the human gut mycobiome across populations, with urbanization-related factors having the strongest impact on gut mycobiome variation, followed by geography, dietary habits, and ethnicity. Different fungal species showed differences in abundance and correlations in urban and rural populations.

Diverse sediment microbiota shape methane emission temperature sensitivity in Arctic lakes

Joanne B. Emerson et al.

Summary: The relationship between temperature and CH4 flux varies spatially in northern post-glacial lakes in Sweden. Deeper lake regions may become more significant sources of CH4 emissions in a warmer climate. Improved predictions of CH4 emissions may be achieved by accounting for spatial variations in sediment microbiota.

Successional dynamics and alternative stable states in a saline activated sludge microbial community over 9 years

Yulin Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the microbial community in the activated sludge (AS) system remained stable around an average for 3 years, but was abruptly pushed into an alternative stable state by a simple transient disturbance like bleaching. Although the taxonomic composition changed rapidly, the metabolic profile and system performance of the community remained remarkably stable. Fine-scale analysis revealed dominant cohorts during different periods, with successional dynamics on seasonal and longer time scales due to temperature fluctuations and changes in mean residence time in the reactor.

A genomic catalog of Earth's microbiomes

Stephen Nayfach et al.

Summary: Reconstructing bacterial and archaeal genomes from shotgun metagenomes has led to the creation of a comprehensive catalog representing a significant expansion of the known phylogenetic diversity of bacteria and archaea. This resource is available for streamlined comparative analyses, interactive exploration, metabolic modeling, and bulk download, demonstrating the utility of genome-centric approaches for understanding genomic properties of uncultivated microorganisms.
