RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Antifungals: Uncovering new drugs and targets p1 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.179 Two studies discover new avenues that could be explored for the novel therapeutic intervention of fungal infections. PDF Bacterial Physiology: Quorum sensing controls the cost of CRISPR-Cas p2 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.180 This study finds that quorum sensing, which is induced at high cell density, activates CRISPR-Cas immunity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PDF Viral evolution: Uncovering the secrets of the RNA virosphere p2 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.185 This study identifies 1,445 RNA viruses in invertebrate animals, including new virus families, and uncovers unexpected levels of evolutionary flexibility. PDF Viral infection: How histones go viral p3 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.186 This study shows that histones are loaded onto unintegrated Moloney murine leukemia virus DNAs shortly after they have entered the nucleus.

GENOME WATCH Last parasite standing Gavin G. Rutledge & Thomas D. Otto p4 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.181 This month's Genome Watch describes how whole-genome sequencing used for surveillance purposes has enabled the identification of new drug resistance markers in the malaria parasite. PDF
REVIEWS		Top
Probing the evolution, ecology and physiology of marine protists using transcriptomics David A. Caron, Harriet Alexander, Andrew E. Allen, John M. Archibald, E. Virginia Armbrust, Charles Bachy, Callum J. Bell, Arvind Bharti, Sonya T. Dyhrman, Stephanie M. Guida, Karla B. Heidelberg, Jonathan Z. Kaye, Julia Metzner, Sarah R. Smith & Alexandra Z. Worden p6 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.160 Protists are an important part of the marine food web. In this Review, Caron et al. summarize recent insights from transcriptomic studies of cultured and free-living protists and discuss how these findings highlight the functions and interactions of these single-celled eukaryotes in the global oceans.

Protein export through the bacterial Sec pathway Alexandra Tsirigotaki, Jozefien De Geyter, Nikolina Šoštaric´, Anastassios Economou & Spyridoula Karamanou p21 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.161 In this Review, Tsirigotaki et al. discuss recent biochemical, structural and mechanistic insights that have been gained into the consecutive steps of the general secretory (Sec) pathway. They focus on the architecture and dynamics of SecYEG and its regulation by ribosomes and SecA, and present current models of the mechanisms and energetics of the Sec-pathway-dependent secretion process in bacteria.

Article series: Vector-borne diseases Progress in imaging methods: insights gained into Plasmodium biology Mariana De Niz, Paul-Christian Burda, Gesine Kaiser, Hernando A. del Portillo, Tobias Spielmann, Freddy Frischknecht & Volker T. Heussler p37 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.158 In this Review, De Niz et al. discuss the contribution of key imaging tools to advances in our understanding of Plasmodium spp. biology and host-pathogen interactions over the past decade. These advances, pertaining to parasite structure and motility, as well as the liver and blood stages, have led to paradigm shifts in our knowledge of malaria.

PERSPECTIVES		Top
OPINION Article series: Microbiome Emerging pathogenic links between microbiota and the gut-lung axis Kurtis F. Budden, Shaan L. Gellatly, David L. A. Wood, Matthew A. Cooper, Mark Morrison, Philip Hugenholtz & Philip M. Hansbro p55 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.142 The microbiota is central for host homeostasis and affects not only the gut but also other organs, including the lungs. In this Opinion article, Hansbro and colleagues explore the role of the microbiota in the gut-lung axis and lung disease. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
