Drivers of seasonal dynamics in Ulva spp. associated microbiota and surface metabolome: The interplay between environment and host physiology by Sauvann Paulino, Cyril Noël, Laura Rieusset, Laure Taupin, Gwenaelle Le Blay, Nathalie Bourgougnon

“…This study explored the temporal dynamics of epiphytic microbial communities (16S rRNA) and the surface metabolome (LC-MS) of Ulva spp. from southern Brittany (France) over a 17-month period. The data obtained were analyzed through multivariate techniques to uncover correlations between bacterial community structure and surface metabolites. …”

A comprehensive atlas of the bonobo gut bacteriome and its associated host and exposome factors by Jonas R.R. Torfs, Mélodie Kreyer, Stijn Wittouck, Sarah Ahannach, Barbara Fruth, Sarah Lebeer, Marcel Eens, Nicky Staes

“…Within the controlled zoo-housed cohort, factors such as age, transit time, diet, early life adversity, and medication use influence gut bacterial structure. Notably, social contact emerges as a stronger predictor of bacteriome similarity than genetics or other exposome factors, while maternal effects persist even in non-cohabiting mother-offspring dyads. …”

A conserved mechanism drives partition complex assembly on bacterial chromosomes and plasmids by Roxanne E Debaugny, Aurore Sanchez, Jérôme Rech, Delphine Labourdette, Jérôme Dorignac, Frédéric Geniet, John Palmeri, Andrea Parmeggiani, François Boudsocq, Véronique Anton Leberre, Jean‐Charles Walter, Jean‐Yves Bouet

“…We found that “Nucleation & caging” is the only coherent model recapitulating in vivo data. We also showed that the stochastic self‐assembly of partition complexes (i) is a robust mechanism, (ii) does not directly involve ParA ATPase, (iii) results in a dynamic structure of discrete size independent of ParB concentration, and (iv) is not perturbed by active transcription but is by protein complexes. …”
