Abstract Domestication and artificial selection for desirable traits have driven significant phenotypic changes left detectable genomic footprints in farmed animals. Since the 1960s, intensive breeding has led to rapid domestication of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), with multiple independent events that make it a valuable model studying early stages parallel evolution populations different origins subjected similar pressures. Some aquatic species, including salmon, undergone whole-genome...
Abstract Aquaculture plays a key role in global food security, yet disease outbreaks remain major challenge. While host transcriptomic response have been widely studied, the of microbial community risk aquaculture remains understudied. Here, we conducted metatranscriptomic analysis gill microbiomes Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) by repurposing publicly available RNA-seq data originally generated for transcriptomics. These poly(A)-selected datasets were collected prior to outbreak, allowing...
Abstract Background Spiroplasma is a widely distributed endosymbiont of insects, arthropods, and plants. In colonizes the gut, hemolymph, reproductive organs host. Previous metagenomic surveys domesticated carmine cochineal Dactylopius coccus wild D. opuntiae reported sequences associated with these insects. However, there no analysis genomic capabilities interaction this Dactylopius. Results Here we present three genomes independently recovered from metagenomes adult males females , two...
Abstract MicrobeMASST, a taxonomically-informed mass spectrometry (MS) search tool, tackles limited microbial metabolite annotation in untargeted metabolomics experiments. Leveraging curated database of >60,000 monocultures, users can known and unknown MS/MS spectra link them to their respective producers via fragmentation patterns. Identification microbial-derived metabolites relative producers, without priori knowledge, will vastly enhance the understanding microorganisms’ role ecology...

ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems can be largely affected by neighboring agriculture fields where potential fertilizer nitrate run-off may leach into surrounding water bodies. To counteract this eutrophic driver, farmers in certain areas are utilizing denitrifying woodchip bioreactors (WBRs) which a consortium of microorganisms convert the nitrogen gases anoxia, fueled degradation lignocellulose. Polysaccharide-degrading strategies have been well described for various aerobic and anaerobic...
ABSTRACT Protozoa comprise a major fraction of the microbial biomass in rumen microbiome, which entodiniomorphs (order: Entodiniomorphida ) and holotrichs Vestibuliferida are consistently observed to be dominant across diverse genetic geographical range ruminant hosts. Despite apparent core role that protozoal species exert, their biological metabolic contributions function remain largely undescribed vivo . Here, we have leveraged (meta)genome-centric metaproteomes from fluid samples...
