TL;DR: Seven completed and one draft-phase Caldicellulosiruptor genomes suggest that, while central metabolism is highly conserved, significant differences in glycoside hydrolase inventories and numbers of carbohydrate transporters exist, a finding which likely relates to variability observed in plant biomass degradation capacity.

TL;DR: The Vavilov centers of diversity and GEBA-RNB projects will sequence 107 RNB strains, isolated from diverse legume hosts in various geographic locations around the world, which will contribute to the understanding of the effects of biogeography on the evolution of different species of RNB, as well as the mechanisms that determine the specificity and effectiveness of nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation by RNB with diverse legumes.

TL;DR: These genome data provide the basis to investigate M. tundripaludum SV96, identified as a major player in the biogeochemistry of Arctic environments.

TL;DR: This research presents a new probabilistic approach to estimating the response of the immune system to EMTs using a simple, straightforward, and scalable approach called “spot-spot analysis”.

TL;DR: Seven sulfate-reducing bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes will give insights into the genetic repertoire and evolution of sulfate reducers typically thriving in terrestrial environments and able to degrade toluene.
