Open AccessBacteria exposed to antiviral drugs develop antibiotic cross-resistance and unique resistance profiles
Antiviral drugs are used globally as treatment and prophylaxis for long-term and acute viral infections. Even though antivirals also have been shown to have off-target effects on bacterial growth, the potentia...

Interaction dynamics and virus–host range for estuarine actinophages captured by epicPCR
Viruses impact microbial diversity, gene flow and function through virus–host interactions. Although metagenomics surveys are rapidly cataloguing viral diversity, methods are needed to capture specific virus–h...

Open AccessDynamics of microbial populations mediating biogeochemical cycling in a freshwater lake
Microbial processes are intricately linked to the depletion of oxygen in in-land and coastal water bodies, with devastating economic and ecological consequences. Microorganisms deplete oxygen during biomass de...

Open AccessHigh resolution time series reveals cohesive but short-lived communities in coastal plankton
Because microbial plankton in the ocean comprise diverse bacteria, algae, and protists that are subject to environmental forcing on multiple spatial and temporal scales, a fundamental open question is to what ...

Open AccessAdaptive radiation by waves of gene transfer leads to fine-scale resource partitioning in marine microbes
Adaptive radiations are important drivers of niche filling, since they rapidly adapt a single clade of organisms to ecological opportunities. Although thought to be common for animals and plants, adaptive radi...

Surveys, simulation and single-cell assays relate function and phylogeny in a lake ecosystem
Much remains unknown about what drives microbial community structure and diversity. Highly structured environments might offer clues. For example, it may be possible to identify metabolically similar species a...
