And here it is: the final protocols for your future favorite 16S rRNA gene primer pair for anplicon sequencing studies -> V4EXT.
P.S. Mighty are the small ones - metric💩tons of Patescibacteria everywhere. Except in 💩, that is.

Fresh from our group, a new role for oxygen production in ammonia-oxidizing archaea:
Oxygen production as an electron overflow pathway in ammonia-oxidizing archaea
Congrats to Thomas Pribasnig for this great work!

Phage–host interactions are a key driver of microbial ecology, but observing them in nature is hard!
With metaHi-C, we detect freshwater phage–host pairs and link their infection dynamics to evolution.

We now provide environmental metadata for the GlobDB genomes!

🧵
A diet enriched in microbiome-fermentable substrates (more fruits and veggies) was shown to be associated with lower frailty and lower mortality risk in an older cohort (N>6000; 65+ y/o), with inflammation markers significantly mediating the dietary effect. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
In addition, the environmental metadata is included in the amino acid sequence toolkit (AASTK) SQL database, and can be directly accessed using the Meta command. Thus, any dataset of GlobDB derived AA sequences can be annotated with their primary environments.
