Classical definitions of syntrophy focus on a process, performed through metabolic interaction
between dependent microbial partners, such as the degradation of complex organic …

Cellulases have a broad range of different industrial applications, ranging from food and
beverages to pulp and paper and the biofuels area. Here a metagenomics based strategy was …

In the surface waters of sulfidic springs near Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany, the SM1
euryarchaeon, together with filamentous bacteria, forms the recently described unique string-of-…

Recently, a unique microbial community, growing in a whitish, macroscopically visible
strings-of-pearls-like structure was discovered in the cold, sulfidic marsh water of the Sippenauer …

We present the first high-resolution (500 m × 500 m) gridded methane (CH 4 ) emission
inventory for Switzerland, which integrates 90 % of the national emission totals reported to the …

Biodiversity enhances ecosystem functions such as biomass production and nutrient cycling.
Although the majority of the terrestrial biodiversity is hidden in soils, very little is known …

In landfill-cover soils, aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) convert CH 4 to CO 2 ,
mitigating emissions of the greenhouse gas CH 4 to the atmosphere. We investigated overall …

Revealing the geological history of microbial life is very challenging. Microbes rarely are
preserved with morphological fidelity, and even when they are, morphology is a poor guide to …

Aerobic methane‐oxidizing bacteria ( MOB ) in soils mitigate methane ( CH 4 ) emissions.
We assessed spatial and seasonal differences in active MOB communities in a landfill cover …

Vascular plants play a key role in controlling CH 4 emissions from natural wetlands, because
they influence CH 4 production, oxidation, and transport to the atmosphere. Here we …
