<i>Dehalobacter</i> is a genus of organohalide-respiring bacteria that is recognized for its fastidious growth using reductive dehalogenases (RDases). In the SC05 culture, however, a <i>Dehalobacter</i> population also mineralizes dichloromethane (DCM) produced by chloroform dechlorination using …
Read PDF<i>Peucedanum nanum</i> and <i>P. violaceum</i> are recognized as members of the genus <i>Peucedanum</i> because of their dorsally compressed mericarps with slightly prominent dorsal ribs and narrowly winged lateral ribs. However, these species are not similar …
Read PDFOrnithinibacillus liuyingii sp. nov. was proposed, with type strain 27F3T (= GDMCC 1.5626T = JCM 38003T) isolated from the lung of Apodemus chevrieri collected on the Guizhou Plateau, China. Phylogenetic distinctiveness from its closest relative, …
Read PDFPhylogenomics data have grown exponentially over the last decades. It is currently common for genome-wide projects to generate hundreds or even thousands of phylogenetic trees and multiple sequence alignments, which may also be very large …
Read PDFSpecies of the genus <i>Ophidascaris</i> are zoonotic nematodes primarily parasitic in snakes, but limited genomic resources have hindered phylogenetic resolution and species delineation. To date, no ascarid nematodes have been documented in hedgehogs, making this …
Read PDF<b>Background:</b> Semisulcospiridae is a family of freshwater gastropods with over 100 species, primarily distributed in East Asia and North America. They play crucial ecological roles and are of medical importance as intermediate hosts for parasites. …
Read PDFMexico harbors ~45% of world's cacti species richness. Their biogeography and phylogenomics were integrated to elucidate the evolutionary history of the genera <i>Coryphantha</i>, <i>Escobaria</i>, <i>Mammillaria</i>, <i>Mammilloydia</i>, <i>Neolloydia</i>, <i>Ortegocactus</i>, and <i>Pelecyphora</i> (Mammilloid Clade). We analyzed 52 …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4><i>Euphorbia resinifera</i> O. Berg (1863) is an endemic cactiform species from Morocco's arid High Atlas Mountains, valued for its medicinal properties and melliferous importance. It faces conservation challenges from habitat degradation and phylogenetic incongruence between …
Read PDFAmmonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) have repeatedly been detected with molecular methods on human skin, yet their persistence, physiological traits, and adaptations remain poorly understood. This is mostly owed to a lack of cultured representatives of AOA …
Read PDFA novel chlorophototrophic bacterium, strain BV2-C<sup>T</sup>, was isolated from a microbial mat (~40 °C) at Rupite hot springs, Bulgaria. Cells were rod-shaped, Gram-negative, with numerous fimbriae/pili, but non-motile. Optimal growth occurred under micro-oxic conditions in …
Read PDFThe allopolyploid complexes in <i>Crocus</i> series <i>Verni</i> represent taxonomic challenges due to their variable or mostly overlapping morphology with one parental species. Moreover, their diploid ancestors remain unidentified, even with genome-wide SNP data. One such …
Read PDFFungal taxonomy is a fundamental discipline that aims to recognise all fungi and their kinships. Approximately 5% of a practical estimate of 2.2-3.8 million species globally are currently known, and consequently the Fungal Tree of …
Read PDF<i>Lactobacillus mulieris</i> is a recently described species, reportedly isolated from human urine, vagina, and gut. Previous genomic studies of <i>L. mulieris</i> highlighted significant genetic diversity among its strains. To gain a deeper understanding of this …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Parastrongyloides trichosuri Mackerras, 1959 (Nematoda: Strongyloididae) is a facultatively parasitic nematode infecting the common brushtail possum. A previously reported mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) from a Kruger National Park (KNP) isolate (GenBank: NC_028620) is incomplete, lacking the …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Limonium Mill., a genus belonging to the family Plumbaginaceae, is mainly distributed along the Mediterranean coast of Eurasia. It is known for its rich species diversity and remarkable morphological variation, encompassing both herbaceous and semi-shrub …
Read PDFPlants inhabiting arid regions often harbor microbial communities that contribute to their resilience under extreme conditions. Yet, the genomic diversity and functional potential of bacterial endophytes associated with desert-adapted plants, particularly in Africa, remain largely …
Read PDFAbies koreana E.H.Wilson is an endangered evergreen coniferous tree that is native to high altitudes in South Korea and susceptible to the effects of climate change. Hybridization and reticulate evolution have been reported in the …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Scutellaria, a sub-cosmopolitan genus, stands as one of the Lamiaceae family's largest genera, encompassing approximately 500 species found in both temperate and tropical montane regions. Recognized for its significant medicinal properties, this genus has garnered …
Read PDFRecent theoretical and algorithmic advances in introgression detection, coupled with the growing availability of genome-scale data, have highlighted the widespread occurrence of interspecific gene flow across the tree of life. However, current methods largely depend …
Read PDFIn this perspective, we explore the transformative impact and inherent limitations of metagenomics and single-cell genomics on our understanding of microbial diversity and their integration into the Tree of Life. We delve into the key …
