The bacterial sulfur cycle in expanding dysoxic and euxinic marine waters
van Vliet, Daan M.; von Meijenfeldt, F. A. Bastiaan; Dutilh, Bas E.; Villanueva, Laura; Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S.; Stams, Alfons Johannes MariaDysoxic marine waters (DMW, <1 M oxygen) are currently expanding in volume in the oceans, which has biogeochemical, ecological, and societal consequences on a global scale. In these environments, distinct bacteria drive an active sulfur cycle, which has only recently been recognized for openocean DMW. This review summarizes the current knowledge on these sulfurcycling bacteria. Critical bottlenecks and question...
Changes to taxonomy and the International Code of Virus Classification and Nome...
Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; King, Andrew M. Q.; Lefkowitz, Elliot J.; Mushegian, Arcady R.; Adams, Michael J.; Dutilh, Bas E.; Gorbalenya, Alexander E.This article lists the changes to virus taxonomy approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses in February 2018. A total of 451 species, 69 genera, 11 subfamilies, 9 families and one new order were added to the taxonomy. The current totals at each taxonomic level now stand at 9 orders, 131 families, 46 subfamilies, 803 genera and 4853 species. A change was made to the International...
Large-scale genomic analysis shows association between homoplastic genetic vari...
Ruesen, Carolien; Chaidir, Lidya; van Laarhoven, Arjan; Dian, Sofiati; Ganiem, Ahmad Rizal; Guimarães, Hanna Nebenzahl; Huynen, Martijn A.Meningitis is the most severe manifestation of tuberculosis. It is largely unknown why some people develop pulmonary TB (PTB) and others TB meningitis (TBM); we examined if the genetic background of infecting M. tuberculosis strains may be relevant.
Taxonomy of prokaryotic viruses: 2017 update from the ICTV Bacterial and Archae...
Alfenas‐Zerbini, Poliane; Adriaenssens, Evelien M.; Wittmann, Johannes; Kuhn, Jens H.; Turner, Dann; Sullivan, Matthew B.; Dutilh, Bas E.; Jang, Ho BinThe prokaryotic virus community is represented at the Inter- national Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by the Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee. Since our last report [5], the committee composition has changed, and a large number of taxonomic proposals (TaxoProps) were submitted to the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) for approval
