Manganese (Mn) contamination poses a significant environmental threat, yet the mechanisms underlying its toxicity remain poorly characterised. Here, we used an integrative multi‐omics approach to elucidate how dietary Mn disrupts the gut‐microbiome axis in the silkworm, Bombyx mori . High‐dose Mn exposure triggered severe, dose‐dependent growth retardation, reducing larval weight by 55.1%. This was concurrent with profound gut...

The assembly of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere is well‐documented and plays a crucial role in supporting plant performance. However, we have limited knowledge of how plant rhizosphere determines the assembly of protistan predators and whether the potential associations between protistan predators and bacterial communities shift due to rhizosphere selection. To address this, we examined bacterial and protistan taxa fr...

Summary During adaptation to environments, bacteria employ two‐component signal transduction systems, which contain histidine kinases and response regulators, to sense and respond to exogenous and cellular stimuli in an accurate spatio‐temporal manner. Although the protein phosphorylation process between histidine kinase and response regulator has been well documented, the molecular mechanism fine‐tuning phosphorylation levels...

Summary To what extent the genomes of different species belonging to one genus can be diverse and the relationship between genomic differentiation and environmental factor remain unclear for oceanic bacteria. With many new bacterial genera and species being isolated from marine environments, this question warrants attention. In this study, we sequenced all the type strains of the published species of G laciecola , a recently d...
