fasR (spv0647) is a transcriptional regulator, a ∆fasR strain grew poorly at higher temperature (mimicking fever), reduced unsaturated fatty acids, and reduced expression of fabM, fakB3, and bioY-all involved in fatty acid synthesis and/or utilization.

The viral component of the microbiome has been understudied compared to the bacterial component, despite playing a crucial role in both microbial ecology and human health. We also discovered 478 novel species-level viruses. Congratulations to Jonah Tang on his first first-author publication!
