Energetic basis of microbial growth and persistence in desert ecosystems
Microbial life is surprisingly abundant and diverse in global desert ecosystems. In these
environments, microorganisms endure a multitude of physicochemical stresses, including low …

Thermophilic archaea activate butane via alkyl-coenzyme M formation
…, F Widdel, KJ Harding, V Krukenberg, DV Meier… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
The anaerobic formation and oxidation of methane involve unique enzymatic mechanisms
and cofactors, all of which are believed to be specific for C 1 -compounds. Here we show that …

Niche partitioning of diverse sulfur-oxidizing bacteria at hydrothermal vents
At deep-sea hydrothermal vents, primary production is carried out by chemolithoautotrophic
microorganisms, with the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds being a major driver for …

Distribution of mixotrophy and desiccation survival mechanisms across microbial genomes in an arid biological soil crust community
Desert surface soils devoid of plant cover are populated by a variety of microorganisms, many
with yet unresolved physiologies and lifestyles. Nevertheless, a common feature vital for …

[HTML][HTML] Rapid microbial diversification of dissolved organic matter in oceanic surface waters leads to carbon sequestration
The pool of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the deep ocean represents one of the largest
carbon sinks on the planet. In recent years, studies have shown that most of this pool is …

Microbial metal‐sulfide oxidation in inactive hydrothermal vent chimneys suggested by metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses
Metal‐sulfides are wide‐spread in marine benthic habitats. At deep‐sea hydrothermal vents,
they occur as massive sulfide chimneys formed by mineral precipitation upon mixing of …

[HTML][HTML] Sugars dominate the seagrass rhizosphere
Seagrasses are among the most efficient sinks of carbon dioxide on Earth. While carbon
sequestration in terrestrial plants is linked to the microorganisms living in their soils, the …

Acidobacteria are active and abundant members of diverse atmospheric H2-oxidizing communities detected in temperate soils
Significant rates of atmospheric dihydrogen (H 2 ) consumption have been observed in
temperate soils due to the activity of high-affinity enzymes, such as the group 1h [NiFe]-…

Horizontal acquisition of a patchwork Calvin cycle by symbiotic and free-living Campylobacterota (formerly Epsilonproteobacteria)
Most autotrophs use the Calvin–Benson–Bassham (CBB) cycle for carbon fixation. In
contrast, all currently described autotrophs from the Campylobacterota (previously …

[HTML][HTML] Metaproteogenomic profiling of microbial communities colonizing actively venting hydrothermal chimneys
At hydrothermal vent sites, chimneys consisting of sulfides, sulfates, and oxides are formed
upon contact of reduced hydrothermal fluids with oxygenated seawater. The walls and …
