GENOME WATCH Bringing Treponema into the spotlight Isobel Everall & Leonor Sanchez-Buso p196 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.23 This month's Genome Watch highlights how culture-independent selective enrichment approaches coupled to whole-genome sequencing enable the analysis of unculturable microorganisms. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The β-barrel assembly machinery in motion Nicholas Noinaj, James C. Gumbart & Susan K. Buchanan p197 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.191 In this Progress article, Buchanan and colleagues discuss recent studies that have advanced our understanding of the structure of the fully assembled β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex and the interactions between the individual components. They also detail the mechanistic insights that have been gained and explore two emerging models for BAM-mediated outer membrane protein biogenesis in bacteria.

Virus–host interactions and their roles in coral reef health and disease Rebecca Vega Thurber, Jérôme P. Payet, Andrew R. Thurber & Adrienne M. S. Correa p205 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.176 Coral reefs are complex ecosystems that are populated by diverse microorganisms. In this Review, Vega Thurber et al. summarize the diversity of reef viruses that infect corals and their associated microbiota, and highlight their roles in coral disease and reef decline.

Article series: Vector-borne diseases Anti-trypanosomatid drug discovery: an ongoing challenge and a continuing need Mark C. Field, David Horn, Alan H. Fairlamb, Michael A. J. Ferguson, David W. Gray, Kevin D. Read, Manu De Rycker, Leah S. Torrie, Paul G. Wyatt, Susan Wyllie & Ian H. Gilbert p217 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.193 Trypanosomatid parasites can cause life-threatening diseases, such as human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis and Chagas disease. In this Review, Gilbert and colleagues discuss the drug discovery landscape and describe some of the challenges that are involved in the development of new drugs to treat these diseases.

Timing the day: what makes bacterial clocks tick? Carl Hirschie Johnson, Chi Zhao, Yao Xu & Tetsuya Mori p232 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.196 Circadian rhythms enable cells to anticipate cyclic changes in their environment. In this Review, Johnson et al. explore timekeeping systems that range from prototypical circadian clocks to hourglass timers and their role in different bacteria, including cyanobacteria and members of the microbiota.

Mimivirus: leading the way in the discovery of giant viruses of amoebae Philippe Colson, Bernard La Scola, Anthony Levasseur, Gustavo Caetano-Anollés & Didier Raoult p243 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.197 The discovery of the giant amoebal virus mimivirus, in 2003, opened up a new area of virology. Extended studies, including those of mimiviruses, have since revealed that these viruses have genetic, proteomic and structural features that are more complex than those of conventional viruses.
