Despite substantial interest in the species diversity of the human microbiome and its role in
disease, the scale of its genetic diversity, which is fundamental to deciphering human …

Diet has a profound impact on the microbial community in the gastrointestinal tract, the
intestinal microbiota, to the benefit or detriment of human health. To understand the …

The lack of microbial genomes and isolates from the deep seabed means that very little is
known about the ecology of this vast habitat. Here, we investigate energy and carbon …

Metaproteomics is the large-scale identification and quantification of proteins from microbial
communities and thus provides direct insight into the phenotypes of microorganisms on the …

Metaproteomics has matured into a powerful tool to assess functional interactions in
microbial communities. While many metaproteomic workflows are available, the impact of …

Here, we describe MetaErg, a standalone and fully automated metagenome and
metaproteome annotation pipeline. Annotation of metagenomes is challenging. First …

Host-associated microbial communities (microbiomes) play critical roles in human, animal,
and plant health and development. Basic metaproteomes can provide diverse types of …

Existence of most bacterial species, in natural, industrial, and clinical settings in the form of
surface-adhered communities or biofilms has been well acknowledged for decades …

Marine microeukaryotes play a fundamental role in biogeochemical cycling through the
transfer of energy to higher trophic levels and vertical carbon transport. Despite their global …

Microplastics in marine ecosystems are colonized by diverse prokaryotic and eukaryotic
communities. How these communities and their functional profiles are shaped by the …
