- Beyond the Venn diagram: the hunt for a core microbiome (pages 4–12)
- Omics for understanding microbial functional dynamics (pages 1–3)
- Microbial rhodopsins on leaf surfaces of terrestrial plants (pages 140–146)
- Photoautotrophic symbiont and geography are major factors affecting highly structured and diverse bacterial communities in the lichen microbiome (pages 147–161)
- Complete genome of Candidatus Chloracidobacterium thermophilum, a chlorophyll-based photoheterotroph belonging to the phylum Acidobacteria (pages 177–190)
- Metagenomic comparison of microbial communities inhabiting confined and unconfined aquifer ecosystems (pages 240–253)
and more
Oh, and a paper of mine (with Alex Worden and other members of her lab as well as multiple others)
