TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the potential role of archaea, bacteria, and fungi in nitrogen cycling and N2O emissions in wetland soils and provided evidence that despite their much lower abundance compared to bacteria, nitrifying archaeal abundance is a key factor explaining N 2O emissions from wetland soil globally.

TL;DR: The LC-MS precursor ion screening method could be useful for microcystin detection in unusual matrices such as benthic biofilms or lichen, and the mcy genes detected showed highest similarities to other Arctic or Antarctic sequences.

TL;DR: The Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®) was used to assess the impact of the partial substitution of FOS and inulin by acacia gum in a fibre blend and exerted a diverse modulating activity in the different areas of the colon.

TL;DR: P. putida W15Oct28, isolated from a stream in Brussels, was found to produce compound(s) with antimicrobial activity against the opportunistic pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the plant pathogen PseUDomonas syringae.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the abundance of the Prevotella genera is a key factor indicating a low metabolic potential, and connections between the systemic effects of non-antibiotic drugs and the gut microbiome of relevance to drug side effects and health-care solutions are established.
