Tax4Fun2: prediction of habitat-specific functional profiles and functional redundancy based on 16S rRNA gene sequences

Franziska Wemheuer, Jessica A. Taylor, Rolf Daniel et al. · 18 May 2020

BACKGROUND: Sequencing of 16S rRNA genes has become a powerful technique to study microbial communities and their responses towards changing environmental conditions in various ecosystems. Several tools have been developed for the prediction of functional profiles from 16S rRNA gene sequencing data, because numerous questions in ecosystem ecology require knowledge of community functions in addition…

Plastics and the microbiome: impacts and solutions

Gavin Lear, Joanne M. Kingsbury, S. Franchini et al. · 20 Jan 2021

Global plastic production has increased exponentially since manufacturing commenced in the 1950's, including polymer types infused with diverse additives and fillers. While the negative impacts of plastics are widely reported, particularly on marine vertebrates, impacts on microbial life remain poorly understood. Plastics impact microbiomes directly, exerting toxic effects, providing supplemental carbon sources and acting as…

Successional action of Bacteroidota and Firmicutes in decomposing straw polymers in a paddy soil

Jun-Jie Huang, Kailin Gao, Yang Lü et al. · 14 Oct 2023

BACKGROUND: Decomposition of plant biomass is vital for carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. In waterlogged soils including paddy fields and natural wetlands, plant biomass degradation generates the largest natural source of global methane emission. However, the intricate process of plant biomass degradation by diverse soil microorganisms remains poorly characterized. Here we report a chemical and…

Land-use intensification differentially affects bacterial, fungal and protist communities and decreases microbiome network complexity

Sana Romdhane, Aymé Spor, Samiran Banerjee et al. · 6 Jan 2022

BACKGROUND: Soil microbial communities are major drivers of cycling of soil nutrients that sustain plant growth and productivity. Yet, a holistic understanding of the impact of land-use intensification on the soil microbiome is still poorly understood. Here, we used a field experiment to investigate the long-term consequences of changes in land-use intensity based on cropping…

The impact of sequencing depth on the inferred taxonomic composition and AMR gene content of metagenomic samples

Hyun S. Gweon, Liam P. Shaw, Jeremy Swann et al. · 24 Oct 2019

BACKGROUND: Shotgun metagenomics is increasingly used to characterise microbial communities, particularly for the investigation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in different animal and environmental contexts. There are many different approaches for inferring the taxonomic composition and AMR gene content of complex community samples from shotgun metagenomic data, but there has been little work establishing the optimum…

Environmental Microbiome template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Environmental Microbiome format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Environmental Microbiome template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Environmental Microbiome use?
Environmental Microbiome uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Environmental Microbiome. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Environmental Microbiome?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Environmental Microbiome document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Environmental Microbiome template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Environmental Microbiome format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Environmental Microbiome?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Environmental Microbiome PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Environmental Microbiome template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Environmental Microbiome template cost?
You can start writing in the Environmental Microbiome template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Environmental Microbiome PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
