The origin of eukaryotes remains unclear 1 , 2 , 3 – 4 . Current data suggest that eukaryotes
may have emerged from an archaeal lineage known as ‘Asgard’ archaea 5 , 6 . Despite the …

One thermophilic (strain IMO-1 T ) and two mesophilic (strains KIBI-1 T and YMTK-2 T ) non-spore-forming,
non-motile, Gram-negative, multicellular filamentous micro-organisms, which …

Microbial life inhabits deeply buried marine sediments, but the extent of this vast ecosystem
remains poorly constrained. Here we provide evidence for the existence of microbial …

An anaerobic, thermophilic, syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacterium, strain SI(T), isolated
previously from granular sludge in a thermophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) …

Thermophilic (strain GOMI-1 T ) and mesophilic (strain KOME-1 T ) strains were isolated
from two different cultures of propionate-degrading consortia obtained from thermophilic …

We previously reported that the thermophilic filamentous anaerobe Anaerolinea thermophila,
which is the first cultured representative of subphylum I of the bacterial phylum Chloroflexi, …

A novel mesophilic, hydrogenotrophic methanogen, strain SANAE T , was isolated from an
anaerobic, propionate-degrading enrichment culture, which was originally established from …

The classical perception of members of the gram-positive Desulfotomaculum cluster I as
sulfate-reducing bacteria was recently challenged by the isolation of new representatives …

A novel methane-producing archaeon, strain NOBI-1 T was isolated from an anaerobic,
propionate-degradation enrichment culture, which was originally obtained from a mesophilic …

Combining the processes of partial nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX)
is an attractive wastewater-treatment technology for nitrogen removal. In this study we …
