Abstract Ecosystems are shaped by communities of microorganisms whose niches and impacts depend on functional profiles influenced by gene gains and losses. Culture-based experiments demonstrate that mobile genetic elements (MGEs) can mediate gene flux, but quantitative understanding of these dynamics in natural systems remains limited.

Hidden viral players: Diversity and ecological roles of viruses in groundwater microbiomes

| BioRxiv
Abstract Groundwater ecosystems harbor diverse microbial communities adapted to energy-limited, light-deprived conditions, yet the role of viruses in these environments remains poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1.26 terabases of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data from seven wells in the Hainich Critical Zone Exploratory (CZE) to characterize groundwater viromes.

RNA virus ecogenomics along a subarctic permafrost thaw gradient

|
By Akbar Adjie Pratama, Guillermo Dominguez-Huerta, James Wainaina, Benjamin Bolduc
| BioRxiv
Abstract Climate change thaws permafrost, which releases greenhouse gases partly from dormant microorganisms awakening and metabolizing organic matter. Though DNA viruses that infect these soil microbes have been studied, little is known on soil RNA viruses, which typically infect microeukaryotes.
