We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

Freshwater bacteria are at the hub of biogeochemical cycles and control water quality in
lakes. Despite this, little is known about the identity and ecology of functionally significant lake …

Despite broad scientific interest in harnessing the power of Earth’s microbiomes, knowledge
gaps hinder their efficient use for addressing urgent societal and environmental challenges. …

The development and proliferation of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic, commensal, and
environmental microorganisms is a major public health concern. The extent to which human …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is one of the best-studied microbially
mediated industrial processes because of its ecological and economic relevance. Despite this, it …

The feasibility of codigestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste, primary sludge,
and waste activated sludge was evaluated in mesophilic (37C), laboratory-scale digesters. …

Microbial communities mediating anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) represent
one of the most energy-efficient environmental biotechnologies for nitrogen removal from …

An aggressive start‐up strategy was used to initiate codigestion in two anaerobic, continuously
mixed bench‐top reactors at mesophilic (37C) and thermophilic (55C) conditions. The …

Microbial population dynamics were evaluated in anaerobic codigesters treating municipal
solid waste and sewage sludge. Ribosomal RNA based oligonucleotide probes were used to …

High-throughput RNA sequencing offers broad opportunities to explore the Earth RNA
virome. Mining 5,150 diverse metatranscriptomes uncovered >2.5 million RNA virus contigs. …
