Accurate estimation of microbial growth rates is essential for un- derstanding microbial life strategies, their ecological roles, and cultivation potential. Existing computational methods that infer growth rates—particularly minimum doubling …
Arctic soil microbial communities may shift with increasing temperatures and water availability from climate change. We examined temperature and volumetric liquid water content (VWC) in the upper cm of permafrost- affected soil over years (2018 – …
Bacterial chromosomal type I toxin-antitoxin systems consist of a small protein, typically under amino acids, and a small RNA (sRNA) that represses toxin translation. These gene pairs have gained attention over the last decade for their contribution …
The Amazon River mobilizes organic carbon across one of the world's largest terrestrial carbon reservoirs. Quantifying the sources of particulate organic carbon (POC) to this flux is typically challenging in large systems such as the Amazon River due …
Microbial communities in terrestrial geothermal systems often contain chemolithoautotrophs with well-characterized distributions and metabolic capabilities. However, the extent to which organic matter produced by these chemolithoautotrophs supports …
Large-scale data often suffer from the curse of dimensionality and the constraints associated with it; therefore, dimensionality reduc- tion methods are often performed prior to most machine learning pipelines. In this paper, we directly compare …
