Abstract Motivation Impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity are often projected with species distribution modelling using standardized data layers representing physical, chemical and biological conditions the global ocean. Yet, available (1) have not been updated to incorporate Sixth Phase Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), which comprise Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios; (2) consider a limited number Earth System Models (ESMs), (3) miss important variables...
Cyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus are major contributors to global primary productivity and found in a wide range aquatic ecosystems. This collective (SC) is metabolically diverse, with some lineages thriving polar nutrient-rich locations others tropical or riverine waters. Although many studies have discussed ecology evolution SC, there paucity knowledge on its taxonomic structure. Thus, we present new classification framework for SC based recent advances microbial genomic taxonomy....
Microbialites—carbonate structures formed under the influence of microbial action —are earliest macroscopic evidence life. For three billion years, mat communities responsible for these fundamentally shaped biogeochemical cycle Earth. In photosynthetic communities, light energy ultimately drives primary production and ensuing cascade daisy-chained metabolisms. However, reduced compounds such as atmospheric trace gases those released metabolic byproducts in deeper, anaerobic regions mat,...
ABSTRACT Advances in methods for collecting environmental DNA (eDNA) are revolutionizing biomonitoring capabilities. The goal of this study was to leverage existing survey technology design and test an eDNA sampler that captures integrated sample over the length a deep‐water transect. We manufactured 300 × 100 mm mountable, open‐ended box made high‐density polyethylene could be attached frame preexisting deep tow camera system. (OCD; open–close device) equipped with actuator hinged doors at...
Abstract Recent advances in bioinformatics and high-throughput sequencing have enabled the large-scale recovery of genomes from metagenomes. This has potential to bring important insights as researchers can bypass cultivation analyze sourced directly environmental samples. There are, however, technical challenges associated with this process, most notably complexity computational workflows required process metagenomic data, which include dozens software tools, each their own set customizable...
SARS-CoV-2 infects cardiac cells and causes heart dysfunction. Conditions such as myocarditis arrhythmia have been reported in COVID-19 patients. The Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is a ubiquitously expressed chaperone that plays central role cardiomyocyte function. S1R has proposed therapeutic target because it may affect replication; however, the impact of inhibition human cardiomyocytes remains to be described. In this study, we investigated consequences iPSC-derived (hiPSC-CM). infection...
Coralline algae are important components in a large variety of ecosystems. Among them, rhodoliths group free-living coralline red that cover extensive coastal areas, from tropical to polar regions. In contrast other ecosystem engineers, limited research efforts preclude our understanding their physiology, underlying mechanisms, drivers and potential differences related species under varying environments. this study, we investigated the photosynthetic calcification mechanisms six Atlantic...
ABSTRACT Heart dysfunction, represented by conditions such as myocarditis and arrhythmia, has been reported in COVID-19 patients. Therapeutic strategies focused on the cardiovascular system, however, remain scarce. The Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) recently proposed a therapeutic target because its inhibition reduces SARS-CoV-2 replication. To investigate role of S1R infection heart, we used human cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CM) an experimental model. Here show...

Abstract Species trees, which depict the evolutionary relationships among organisms, underlie many studies. Phylogenomics, use of genome-scale datasets for phylogenetic inference, is current gold standard species tree inference. The development, maintenance, and execution phylogenomic workflows challenging, requiring programming, data management skills, familiarity with changing best practices. We introduce Orthoflow, a software wherein single command automatically conducts end-to-end...
Abstract Background and Aims Nitrogen (N) deficiency in soil constrains plant growth, which may potentially be alleviated by beneficial microbes. However, there is limited knowledge of the plant-microbe interactions wheat cultivars with different N-use efficiency (NUE) under N deficiency. Methods We investigated responses root endosphere microorganisms as well metabolites two (cv. Mace Gladius) reported high low NUE, respectively, using a glasshouse experiment hydroponic three levels....

Microbial plankton play fundamental roles in biogeochemical cycles, driving nutrient cycling that influences the global climate and supports life on Earth. Picoplankton are smallest most abundant planktonic organisms. The distribution ecology of these organisms is determined by environmental factors their biogeography largely shaped basin-scale patterns physicochemical composition ocean waters. increased availability high-throughput sequencing data microbial communities has enabled...
ABSTRACT Prochlorococcus is the most abundant photosynthetic prokaryote on our planet. The extensive ecological literature collective (PC) based assumption that it comprises one single genus comprising species marinus , containing itself a of ecotypes. Ecologists adopt distributed genome hypothesis an open pan-genome to explain observed genomic diversity and evolution patterns ecotypes within PC. Novel data for PC prompted us revisit this group, applying current methods used in taxonomy. As...
