Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria are capable of utilizing methane as their sole energy source.
They are commonly found at the oxic/anoxic interfaces of environments such as wetlands, …

The assembly of single-amplified genomes (SAGs) and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)
has led to a surge in genome-based discoveries of members affiliated with Archaea …

The origin and cellular complexity of eukaryotes represent a major enigma in biology.
Current data support scenarios in which an archaeal host cell and an alphaproteobacterial (…

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria consume methane as it diffuses away from methanogenic
zones of soil and sediment 1 . They act as a biofilter to reduce methane emissions to the …

Recent physiological and ecological studies have challenged the long-held belief that microbial
metabolism of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) is a niche process. To gain a broader insight …

… size (3.8 Mb) is … Mb for both) and DPANN archaea (median = 1.2 Mb) (Supplementary Table
1). Among Asgard archaea, Odinarchaeia displayed the smallest genomes (median = 1.4 Mb…

… We used shotgun DNA sequencing to produce a 264-MB metagenome from these soils,
comprising 208,233 predicted genes (Supplementary Table 2) and 451 predicted 16S/18S …

The bioleaching of chalcopyrite in an acidic sulphate nutrient medium was investigated using
Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans, a moderately thermophilic iron- and sulphur oxidising …

Background The phylum Verrucomicrobia is a widespread but poorly characterized bacterial
clade. Although cultivation-independent approaches detect representatives of this phylum …

We examined bacterial diversity of three geothermal soils in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New
Zealand. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes recovered directly from soils indicated …
