Lack of robustness is a major barrier to foster a sustainable cyanobacterial biotechnology.
Use of cyanobacterial consortium increases biodiversity, which provides functional …

Metaproteomics, the study of protein expression in microbial communities, is a versatile tool
for environmental microbiology. Achieving sufficiently high metaproteome coverage to …

Nature challenges microbes with change at different frequencies and demands an effective
response for survival. Here, we used controlled laboratory experiments to investigate the …

Methanotrophic microorganisms play a critical role in controlling the flux of methane from
natural sediments into the atmosphere. Methanotrophs have been shown to couple the …

This study provides a first description of the morphology of Blue Mats: sessile, colonial
folliculinid ciliates (Folliculinopsis sp.) that create dense bright blue carpets in certain Juan de …

Since the discovery of symbioses between sulfur-oxidizing (thiotrophic) bacteria and
invertebrates at hydrothermal vents over 40 years ago, it has been assumed that autotrophic …

Cyanobacteria form dense multicellular communities that experience transient conditions in
terms of access to light and oxygen. These systems are productive but also undergo …

The impact of a structured environment on genome evolution can be determined through
comparative population genomics of species that live in the same habitat. Recent work …

Hydrogen may be the most important electron donor available in the subsurface. Here we
analyse the diversity, abundance and expression of hydrogenases in 5 proteomes, 25 …

Abiotic and biotic forces shape the structure and evolution of microbial populations. We
investigated forces that shape the spatial and temporal population structure of Sulfolobus …
