16S rRNA gene sequencing is crucial for delving deeper into microbial diversity in ecosystems ranging from soil and water to human-associated microbiomes. However, conventional PCR methods, as used in ...
The landscape of metagenomics and microbiome research is evolving at breakneck speed. As sequencing technologies improve and the demand for high-resolution, bias-free microbial data grows, the ...
A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...
Microbiome standards are imperative for profiling and analyzing microbial communities. In many cases, a lack of proper controls or comparison to microbiome reference materials means that important and ...
Syngas biomethanation—converting CO/CO₂/H₂ into renewable methane—relies on coordinated microbial interactions.
On the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts and their cargo introduce bioaerosols to the atmospheric microbiome, including airborne bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Microbial monitoring of the ...
