Microbial methanogenesis is a major source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH 4). It is the
final step in the anaerobic degradation of organic matter when inorganic electron acceptors …

Methyl-based methanogenesis is one of three broad categories of archaeal anaerobic
methanogenesis, including both the methyl dismutation (methylotrophic) pathway and the …

The diversity of filamentous fungi that can grow at high ambient pH values (ie, 8–11)
remains largely understudied. Here we study 100 alkalitolerant and alkaliphilic isolates from …

Research on methanogenic Archaea has experienced a revival, with many novel lineages of
methanogens recently being found through cultivation and suggested via metagenomics …

Abstract Methane (CH 4), an important greenhouse gas (GHG), contributes~ 33.0% to the
total global GHGs emissions and accounts for 15–20% to the global warming. As the second …

Soda lakes are saline and alkaline ecosystems that are believed to have existed throughout
the geological record of Earth. They are widely distributed across the globe, but are highly …

Highlights•A current knowledge on extremophilic microbial communities in soda is
reviewed.•The focus is made on functional groups as opposed to general microbial …

Rapid urbanization has resulted in pervasive occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes
(ARGs) in urban aquatic ecosystems. However, limited information is available concerning …

Biological methane (CH4) mitigation combined with biopolymer (PHA-
polyhydroxyalkaonate/PHB-polyhydroxybutyrate) production is a viable option in this fossil …

Wetlands are important carbon (C) sinks, yet many have been destroyed and converted to
other uses over the past few centuries, including industrial salt making. A renewed focus on …
