Abstract
-
Microbial ecology is the study of microorganisms present in
nature. It particularly focuses on microbial interactions with
any biota and with surrounding environments. Microbial
ecology is entering its golden age with innovative multi-omics
methods
triggered by next-generation sequencing technologies.
However, the extraction of ecologically relevant information
from ever-increasing omics data remains one of
the most challenging tasks in microbial ecology. This special
issue includes 11 review articles that provide an overview of
the state of the art of omics-based approaches in the field of
microbial ecology, with particular emphasis on the interpretation
of omics data, environmental pollution tracking,
interactions in microbiomes, and viral ecology.

Abstract
-
Microorganisms play a vital role in living systems in numerous
ways. In the soil or ocean environment, microbes are
involved in diverse processes, such as carbon and nitrogen
cycle, nutrient recycling, and energy acquisition. The relation
between microbial dysbiosis and disease developments has
been extensively studied. In particular, microbial communities
in the human gut are associated with the pathophysiology
of several chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease
and diabetes. Therefore, analyzing the distribution of microorganisms
and their associations with the environment
is a key step in understanding nature. With the advent of nextgeneration
sequencing technology, a vast amount of metagenomic
data on unculturable microbes in addition to culturable
microbes has been produced. To reconstruct microbial
genomes, several assembly algorithms have been developed
by incorporating metagenomic features, such as uneven
depth. Since it is difficult to reconstruct complete microbial
genomes from metagenomic reads, contig binning approaches
were suggested to collect contigs that originate from the same
genome. To estimate the microbial composition in the environment,
various methods have been developed to classify
individual reads or contigs and profile bacterial proportions.
Since microbial communities affect their hosts and environments
through metabolites, metabolic profiles from metagenomic
or metatranscriptomic data have been estimated.
Here, we provide a comprehensive review of computational
methods
that can be applied to investigate microbiomes using
metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing data.
The limitations of metagenomic studies and the key approaches
to overcome such problems are discussed.

Abstract
-
DNA methylation is known as a universal mechanism of epigenetic
regulation in all kingdoms of life. Particularly, given
that prokaryotes lack key elements such as histones and nucleosomes
that can structurally modify DNA, DNA methylation
is considered a major epigenetic regulator in these organisms.
However, because DNA methylation studies have focused
primarily on eukaryotes, the mechanism of prokaryotic
DNA methylation has been less studied than in eukaryotes.
DNA methylation in prokaryotes plays an important role in
regulating not only the host defense system, but also the cell
cycle, gene expression, and virulence that can respond directly
to the environment. Recent advances in sequencing techniques
capable of detecting methylation signals have allowed for the
characterization of prokaryotic genome-wide epigenetic regulation.
In this review, we describe representative examples of
cellular events regulated by DNA methylation in prokaryotes,
from early studies to current applications.

Abstract
-
Raman spectroscopy is a promising tool for identifying microbial
phenotypes based on single cell Raman spectra reflecting
cellular biochemical biomolecules. Recent studies
using Raman spectroscopy have mainly analyzed phenotypic
changes caused by microbial interactions or stress responses
(e.g., antibiotics) and evaluated the microbial activity or substrate
specificity under a given experimental condition using
stable isotopes. Lack of labelling and the nondestructive pretreatment
and measurement process of Raman spectroscopy
have also aided in the sorting of microbial cells with interesting
phenotypes for subsequently conducting physiology
experiments through cultivation or genome analysis. In this
review, we provide an overview of the principles, advantages,
and status of utilization of Raman spectroscopy for studies
linking microbial phenotypes and functions. We expect Raman
spectroscopy to become a next-generation phenotyping
tool that will greatly contribute in enhancing our understanding
of microbial functions in natural and engineered
systems.

Abstract
-
The environment is under siege from a variety of pollution
sources. Fecal pollution is especially harmful as it disperses
pathogenic bacteria into waterways. Unraveling origins of
mixed sources of fecal bacteria is difficult and microbial
source tracking (MST) in complex environments is still a
daunting task. Despite the challenges, the need for answers
far outweighs the difficulties experienced. Advancements in
qPCR and next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies
have shifted the traditional culture-based MST approaches
towards culture independent technologies, where communitybased
MST is becoming a method of choice. Metagenomic
tools may be useful to overcome some of the limitations of
community-based MST methods as they can give deep insight
into identifying host specific fecal markers and their association
with different environments. Adoption of machine
learning (ML) algorithms, along with the metagenomic based
MST approaches, will also provide a statistically robust and
automated platform. To compliment that, ML-based approaches
provide accurate optimization of resources. With the
successful application of ML based models in disease prediction,
outbreak investigation and medicine prescription,
it would be possible that these methods would serve as a
better surrogate of traditional MST approaches in future.

Abstract
-
Whole genome and metagenome sequencing are powerful
approaches that enable comprehensive cataloging and profiling
of antibiotic resistance genes at scales ranging from a
single clinical isolate to ecosystems. Recent studies deal with
genomic and metagenomic data sets at larger scales; therefore,
designing computational workflows that provide high
efficiency and accuracy is becoming more important. In this
review, we summarize the computational workflows used in
the research field of antibiotic resistome based on genome or
metagenome sequencing. We introduce workflows, software
tools, and data resources that have been successfully employed
in this rapidly developing field. The workflow described in
this review can be used to list the known antibiotic resistance
genes from genomes and metagenomes, quantitatively profile
them, and investigate the epidemiological and evolutionary
contexts behind their emergence and transmission. We also
discuss how novel antibiotic resistance genes can be discovered
and how the association between the resistome and
mobilome can be explored.

Abstract
-
Plants rooted in soil have intimate associations with a diverse
array of soil microorganisms. While the microbial diversity
of soil is enormous, the predominant bacterial phyla
associated with plants include Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes,
Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia. Plants supply
nutrient niches for microbes, and microbes support plant
functions such as plant growth, development, and stress tolerance.
The interdependent interaction between the host plant
and its microbes sculpts the plant microbiota. Plant and microbiome
interactions are a good model system for understanding
the traits in eukaryotic organisms from a holobiont
perspective. The holobiont concept of plants, as a consequence
of co-evolution of plant host and microbiota, treats
plants as a discrete ecological unit assembled with their microbiota.
Dissection of plant-microbiome interactions is highly
complicated; however, some reductionist approaches are useful,
such as the synthetic community method in a gnotobiotic
system. Deciphering the interactions between plant and microbiome
by this reductionist approach could lead to better
elucidation of the functions of microbiota in plants. In addition,
analysis of microbial communities’ interactions would
further enhance our understanding of coordinated plant microbiota
functions. Ultimately, better understanding of plantmicrobiome
interactions could be translated to improvements
in plant productivity.

Abstract
-
Our understanding of the interactions between microbial communities
and their niche in the host gut has improved owing
to recent advances in environmental microbial genomics.
Integration of metagenomic and metataxonomic sequencing
data with other omics data to study the gut microbiome
has become increasingly common, but downstream analysis
after data integration and interpretation of complex omics
data remain challenging. Here, we review studies that have
explored the gut microbiome signature using omics approaches,
including metagenomics, metataxonomics, metatranscriptomics,
and metabolomics. We further discuss recent
analytics programs to analyze and integrate multi-omics datasets
and further utilization of omics data with other advanced
techniques, such as adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing,
microbial culturomics, and machine learning, to
evaluate important microbiome characteristics in the gut.

Abstract
-
The third domain Archaea was known to thrive in extreme or
anoxic environments based on cultivation studies. Recent metagenomics-
based approaches revealed a widespread abundance
of archaea, including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA)
of Thaumarchaeota in non-extreme and oxic environments.
AOA alter nitrogen species availability by mediating the first
step of chemolithoautotrophic nitrification, ammonia oxidation
to nitrite, and are important primary producers in ecosystems,
which affects the distribution and activity of other
organisms in ecosystems. Thus, information on the interactions
of AOA with other cohabiting organisms is a crucial
element in understanding nitrogen and carbon cycles in ecosystems
as well as the functioning of whole ecosystems. AOA
are self-nourishing, and thus interactions of AOA with other
organisms can often be indirect and broad. Besides, there are
possibilities of specific and obligate interactions. Mechanisms
of interaction are often not clearly identified but only inferred
due to limited knowledge on the interaction factors analyzed
by current technologies. Here, we overviewed different types
of AOA interactions with other cohabiting organisms, which
contribute to understanding AOA functions in ecosystems.

Abstract
-
Viruses are found in almost all biomes on Earth, with bacteriophages
(phages) accounting for the majority of viral particles
in most ecosystems. Phages have been isolated from
natural environments using the plaque assay and liquid medium-
based dilution culturing. However, phage cultivation is
restricted by the current limitations in the number of culturable
bacterial strains. Unlike prokaryotes, which possess
universally conserved 16S rRNA genes, phages lack universal
marker genes for viral taxonomy, thus restricting cultureindependent
analyses of viral diversity. To circumvent these
limitations, shotgun viral metagenome sequencing (i.e., metaviromics)
has been developed to enable the extensive sequencing
of a variety of viral particles present in the environment
and is now widely used. Using metaviromics, numerous
studies on viral communities have been conducted in oceans,
lakes, rivers, and soils, resulting in many novel phage sequences.
Furthermore, auxiliary metabolic genes such as ammonic
monooxygenase C and β-lactamase have been discovered
in viral contigs assembled from viral metagenomes.
Current attempts to identify putative bacterial hosts of viral
metagenome sequences based on sequence homology have
been limited due to viral sequence variations. Therefore, culture-
independent approaches have been developed to predict
bacterial hosts using single-cell genomics and fluorescentlabeling.
This review focuses on recent viral metagenome
studies conducted in natural environments, especially in aquatic
ecosystems, and their contributions to phage ecology.
Here, we concluded that although metaviromics is a key tool
for the study of viral ecology, this approach must be supplemented
with phage-host identification, which in turn requires
the cultivation of phage-bacteria systems.

Abstract
-
As a special type of noncoding RNA, circular RNAs (circRNAs)
are prevalent in many organisms. They can serve as sponges
for microRNAs and protein scaffolds, or templates for protein
translation, making them linked to cellular homeostasis
and disease progression. In recent years, circRNAs have been
found to be abnormally expressed during the processes of
viral infection and pathogenesis, and can help a virus escape
the immune response of a host. Thus, they are now considered
to play important functions in the invasion and development
of viruses. Moreover, the potential application of circRNAs
as biomarkers of viral infection or candidates for therapeutic
targeting deserves consideration. This review summarizes
circRNAs in the transcriptome, including their classification,
production, functions, and value as biomarkers. This review
paper also describes research progress on circRNAs in viral
infection (mainly hepatitis B virus, HIV, and some human
herpes viruses) and aims to provide new ideas for antiviral
therapies targeting circRNAs.

Abstract
-
SARS-CoV-2 was originated from zoonotic coronaviruses
and confirmed as a novel beta-coronavirus, which causes serious
respiratory illness such as pneumonia and lung failure,
COVID-19. In this review, we describe the genetic characteristics
of SARS-CoV-2, including types of mutation, and
molecular epidemiology, highlighting its key difference from
animal coronaviruses. We further summarized the current
knowledge on clinical, genetic, and pathological features of
several animal coronaviruses and compared them with SARSCoV-
2, as well as recent evidences of interspecies transmission
and recombination of animal coronaviruses to provide a better
understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infection in One Health
perspectives. We also discuss the potential wildlife hosts and
zoonotic origin of this emerging virus in detail, that may help
mitigate the spread and damages caused by the disease.
