Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

The extensive use of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) has led to their widespread distribution
across various environments. As PAEs pose significant threats to human health, it is urgent …

Grassland restoration across the world increases soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration
which is critical for global C cycling and CO 2 removal from the atmosphere. However, the …

Deserts occupy one-third of the Earth's terrestrial surface and represent a potentially
significant reservoir of microbial biodiversity, yet the majority of desert microorganisms …

Carbon fixation by chemoautotrophic microbes such as homoacetogens had a major impact
on the transition from the inorganic to the organic world. Recent reports have shown the …

Prokaryotes are ubiquitous in the biosphere, important for human health and drive diverse
biological and environmental processes. Systematics of prokaryotes, whose origins can be …

Ecological and evolutionary processes simultaneously regulate microbial diversity, but the
evolutionary processes and their driving forces remain largely unexplored. Here we …

Candidate phyla radiation (CPR) is an emerging division of the bacterial domain within the
human microbiota. Still poorly known, these microorganisms were first described in the …

Abstract Background Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the largest
biotechnology applications in the world and are of critical importance to modern urban …

Background There are trillions of microbiota in our intestinal tract, and they play a significant
role in health and disease via interacting with the host in metabolic, immune, neural, and …
