TL;DR: An extensive carbonate system off the Amazon mouth, underneath the river plume, is presented, providing several insights about the responses of tropical reefs to suboptimal and marginal reef-building conditions, which are accelerating worldwide due to global changes.

TL;DR: It is time to revisit polyphasic taxonomy, its principles, and its practice, including its underlying pragmatic species concept, to build a genomic-based microbial taxonomy using standardized and automated curation of high-quality complete genome sequences as the new gold standard.

TL;DR: This article proposed a genomic-based microbial taxonomy, using standardized and automated curation of high-quality complete genome sequences as the new gold standard, which can provide adequate descriptions of bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic diversity in ecological, clinical, and industrial environments.

TL;DR: Short-term impacts on microbial communities included an increase in Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes and gene sequences related to microbial virulence, motility, respiration, membrane transport, iron and nitrogen metabolism, suggesting changes in microbial metabolic profiles.

TL;DR: A comparison of the vibrio phenotypes obtained from the literature with the phenotypic data retrieved from whole genome sequences indicated the utility of this approach to characterize the phenotypes of vibrios.
