Reciprocal Genome Projection Reveals Reference-Conditioned Functional Variation in Clinical Aspergillus Section Nigri Isolates

Closely related Aspergillus section Nigri species are difficult to resolve taxonomically, while short-read comparisons may be influenced by reference-genome choice. We applied reciprocal genome projection to 31 whole-genome sequencing libraries representing South African clinical...

Gravimetric, culture-based and public transcriptomic perspectives on low-density polyethylene feeding in Galleria mellonella

Abstract Galleria mellonella can remove substantial amounts of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), but host and microbial contributions remain unresolved. We examined whether antimicrobial exposure altered time-dependent LDPE mass disappearance and integrated gravimetric, culture-ba...
