TL;DR: This study reports a first detailed bacterial inventory from vertical profiles of 60 sampling stations distributed along the salinity gradient of the Baltic Sea, one of world's largest brackish water environments, generated using 454 pyrosequencing of partial (400 bp) 16S rRNA genes.

TL;DR: ConCOCT, a new algorithm that combines sequence composition and coverage across multiple samples, to automatically cluster contigs into genomes is presented, demonstrating high recall and precision on artificial as well as real human gut metagenome data sets.

TL;DR: Four years after treatment high levels of the macrolide resistance gene erm(B) were found, indicating that antibiotic resistance, once selected for, can persist for longer periods of time than previously recognized.

TL;DR: This work has employed 454-pyrosequencing of a hyper-variable region of the 16S rRNA gene in combination with sample-specific barcode sequences which enables parallel in-depth analysis of hundreds of samples with limited sample processing, and demonstrated that the method correctly describes microbial communities down to phylotypes below the genus level.

TL;DR: Bacterial populations differ in abundance among individuals with different phenotypes of CD; specific species of bacteria are associated with ileal CD; further studies should investigate their role in pathogenesis.
