A positive correlation between GC content and growth temperature in prokaryotes

En-Ze Hu et al.

Summary: In bacteria and archaea, there is a positive correlation between optimal growth temperature (Topt) and GC content in structural RNA genes, whole genome sequences, and certain categories of genes. However, the relationship between Topt and genomic GC content may not be statistically significant in some cases, possibly due to small sample sizes or other factors. This study provides explanations for the contradictory observations and suggests that thermal adaptation and DNA repair efficiency may contribute to the observed patterns.

MicFunPred: A conserved approach to predict functional profiles from 16S rRNA gene sequence data

Dattatray S. Mongad et al.

Summary: 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing accurately characterizes microbial taxonomic abundances but lacks functional information. MicFunPred, a new tool, uses core genes to predict metagenomes, showing low False Positive Rate and performing faster with lower computational requirements compared to other tools.

Comparison of Two 16S rRNA Primers (V3-V4 and V4-V5) for Studies of Arctic Microbial Communities

Eduard Fadeev et al.

Summary: Microbial communities in the Arctic Ocean are still poorly understood, but recent studies have shown the presence of unique microbial community members adapted to extreme environmental conditions. In comparing two commonly used primer sets (V3-V4 and V4-V5) for studying microbial communities in Arctic marine habitats, it was found that both sets represent the total microbial community composition effectively down to the genus rank, with the V4-V5 primer set providing coverage of both bacterial and archaeal domains for a more comprehensive study.

Enhancing diversity analysis by repeatedly rarefying next generation sequencing data describing microbial communities

Ellen S. Cameron et al.

Summary: Amplicon sequencing revolutionizes the study of environmental DNA samples, providing a rapid and sensitive technique for microbial community analysis. Rarefaction, while statistically controversial, remains prevalent in practice for normalizing library sizes for diversity analysis. Repeated rarefying proposed as a tool to proportionately represent all observed sequences and characterize random variation in diversity analysis.

Modelling to Lower Energy Consumption in a Large WWTP in China While Optimising Nitrogen Removal

Monica Vergara-Araya et al.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of China's strict monitoring requirements for nitrogen values on wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and investigates how to reduce energy consumption and improve compliance rates through various optimization strategies. Through modeling and calibration of a Chinese WWTP with a population equivalent of 450,000, it was found that a combination of strategies significantly reduced air demand and improved compliance with monitoring values, resulting in a 25% reduction in energy consumption by considering the impact of these strategies on related processes.

Urban wastewater bacterial communities assemble into seasonal steady states

Emily Lou LaMartina et al.

Summary: Our study demonstrates that environmental conditions related to seasonal change and geographical differences in climate structure the bacterial communities in urban sanitary sewers. The human bacterial component of wastewater decreases in proportion and exhibits stochastic temporal variation during transit from residences to treatment plants, while the resident sewer community increases in abundance during transit and cycles seasonally according to changes in wastewater temperature. Wastewater bacterial communities from other northern US cities follow similar temporal trends to those in Milwaukee, but southern US cities have distinct community compositions and seasonal patterns.

Mechanisms Driving Microbial Community Composition in Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Waste-Activated Sewage Sludge

Jan Torsten Jeske et al.

Summary: Anaerobic co-digestion can improve biogas production by using food waste and canola lecithin as co-substrates, but may also lead to potential microbial drift. The addition of canola lecithin could result in specialization and diversity loss in the system, impacting stability and resilience.

Handling of spurious sequences affects the outcome of high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon profiling

Susheel Bhanu Busi et al.

Summary: The study on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing reveals that different processing methods may affect the accuracy of the results, emphasizing the importance of carefully analyzing data to avoid misleading findings. The concept of effective richness is proposed to facilitate the comparison of alpha-diversity across studies.

Primer, Pipelines, Parameters: Issues in 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing

Isabel Abellan-Schneyder et al.

Summary: Short-amplicon 16S rRNA gene sequencing is the preferred method for studying microbiomes, but the choice of primers, databases, and bioinformatics settings significantly influence the outcomes. It is important to independently validate results generated by different primer pairs and consider the impact of database discrepancies on taxonomic assignment accuracy. Appropriate amplicon truncation, thorough testing of processing pipelines, and the use of complex mock communities are crucial for accurate microbial composition analysis.

Sequencing error profiles of Illumina sequencing instruments

Nicholas Stoler et al.

Summary: This study developed a method to retrospectively determine the error rate of public sequencing datasets, finding that expensive platforms have lower error rates and less variation, but there is significant variation within each platform, with experiment accuracy depending greatly on the experimenter. The importance of sequence context and differences in sequence bias patterns between instruments were also highlighted.
