Pathway-centric analysis of microbial metabolic potential and expression
along nutrient and energy gradients in the western Atlantic Ocean
Accepted in 2022, this study explores the interactions between various levels of microbial community metaOmics (metatranscriptomics, metagenomics, 16S resolved taxonomy and metabolites) and water column parameters across a 2765 km transect of the Atlantic Ocean.
Accepted in 2022, this paper explores how differing conditions in sequentially thawing permafrost bogs affect methane cycling and the methanogenesis utilization pathways employed by microbial communities within
