Compared to bacteria, our knowledge of archaeal biology is limited. Historically,
microbiologists have mostly relied on culturing and single-gene diversity surveys to …

Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

Most microbes evolve faster than their hosts and should therefore drive evolution of host–
microbe interactions. However, relatively little is known about the characteristics that define …

Plants are colonized by a multitude of micro-organisms, collectively called “microbiome,”
and which play essential roles in the niches they inhabit. The potential of the microbiome …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas and the predominant ozone depleting
substance. The only enzyme known to reduce N2O is the nitrous oxide reductase, encoded …

Diatoms and bacteria have cooccurred in common habitats for hundreds of millions of years,
thus fostering specific associations and interactions with global biogeochemical …

Some bacteria can transfer to new host species, and this poses a risk to human health.
Indeed, an estimated 60% of all human pathogens have originated from other animal …

Campylobacter is among the four main causes of gastroenteritis worldwide and has
increased in both developed and developing countries over the last 10 years. The vast …

Abstract Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) have been shown to host diverse bacterial
communities that vary depending on the sex of the mosquito, the developmental stage, and …

The evolution of obligate host-association of bacterial symbionts and pathogens remains
poorly understood. The Rickettsiales are an alphaproteobacterial order of obligate …
