Inorganic carbon uptake in a freshwater diatom, <i>Asterionella formosa</i> (Bacillariophyceae): from ecology to genomics Open
Inorganic carbon availability can limit primary productivity and control species composition of freshwater phytoplankton. This is despite the presence of CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) in some species that maximize inorganic carbon up…

Phylogenomic fingerprinting of tempo and functions of horizontal gene transfer within ochrophytes Open
Significance The ochrophytes are an ancient and important group of eukaryotic algae, including diatoms, the most important photosynthesisers in the modern ocean, and a wide range of other species. Throughout their history, ochrophytes have…

Draft Genome Sequences of 15 Bacterial Species Constituting the Stable Defined Intestinal Microbiota of the GM15 Gnotobiotic Mouse Model Open
The GM15 community is a bacterial consortium used to generate a novel standardized mouse model with a simplified controlled intestinal microbiota recapitulating the specific opportunistic pathogen-free (SOPF) mouse phenotype and the potent…

Golden magic: RSH enzymes for (p)ppGpp metabolism in the diatom <i>Phaeodactylum tricornutum</i> Open
The nucleotides guanosine tetraphosphate and pentaphosphate (together known as (p)ppGpp or magic spot) are produced in plant plastids from GDP/GTP and ATP by RelA-SpoT homologue (RSH) enzymes. In the model plant Arabidopsis (p)ppGpp regula…

Exploring the microbiome of the “star” freshwater diatom <i>Asterionella formosa</i> in a laboratory context Open
Summary Most of our knowledge on the mechanisms underlying diatom–bacterial interactions has been acquired through studies involving isolation of culturable partners. Here, we established a laboratory model of intermediate complexity betwe…

Quiescence unveils a novel mutational force in fission yeast Open
To maintain life across a fluctuating environment, cells alternate between phases of cell division and quiescence. During cell division, the spontaneous mutation rate is expressed as the probability of mutations per generation (Luria and D…

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the freshwater diatom Asterionella formosa Open
We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the freshwater diatom Asterionella formosa. The large 61.9 kb circular sequence encodes 34 proteins and 25 tRNAs that are universally conserved in other sequenced diatoms. We fully re…

Demography and Intercontinental Spread of the USA300 Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Lineage Open
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) was recognized worldwide during the 1990s; in less than a decade, several genetically distinct CA-MRSA lineages carrying Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes have emerge…

Whole-Genome Comparison Uncovers Genomic Mutations between Group B Streptococci Sampled from Infected Newborns and Their Mothers Open
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus or GBS), a commensal of the human gut and genitourinary tract, is a leading cause of neonatal infections, in which vertical transmission from mother to child remains the most frequent route o…
