This fascinating new #metagenomics research in mBio explores a potentially important and intriguing link between the presence and relative abundance of different functional guilds present in the human gut #microbiome (including short chain fatty acid biosynthesis and virulence functions) and disease severity and outcomes resulting from the virus. Clearly a subject for future extended studies to explore potential increases in severity due to infection and exacerbated or mitigated by differences in gut microbiomes.

This new research in Nature Microbiology explores how hydrogen in seawater supports growth of multiple and diverse #bacterial species.
Fof those (like me) in #Melbourne , you may be interested that the research also includes study of this process within #PortPhillipBay sediments.

This exciting new research explores the influence of #virus #infection in changing the balance of organic matter degradation between #bacteria and #eukaryotes in #marine #carboncycling during #phytoplankton blooms.
Based on #mesocosm studies, this research demonstrates how #viruses infecting different #microorganisms change community dynamics and the release and potential fate of marine carbon from primary production.

Bacterial lifestyle switch in response to algal metabolites
Opportunistic bacteria modulate their lifestyle from coexistence to pathogenicity by perceiving the physiological state of their algal host through sensing of algal secreted metabolites.Noa Barak-Gavish (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd)

Quantifying the local adaptive landscape of a nascent bacterial community - Nature Communications
Fitness landscapes largely shape the dynamics of evolution, but it is unclear how they shift upon ecological diversification. By engineering genome-wide knockout libraries of a nascent bacterial community, Ascensao et al.Nature
Molecular biologist. She researched chemical communication between bacteria, also called ‘quorum sensing’.
