Almost the entire seafloor is covered with sediments that can be more than 10 000 m thick
and represent a vast microbial ecosystem that is a major component of Earth's element and …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are one of the latest scientific
discoveries in the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. These microorganisms are able to oxidize …

Electrically conductive appendages from the anaerobic bacterium Geobacter
sulfurreducens, recently identified as extracellular cytochrome nanowires (ECNs), have …

We report on the genomic characterization of three novel classes in the phylum
Desulfobacterota. One class (proposed name Candidatus 'Anaeroferrophillalia') was …

Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

Multi-haem cytochromes are employed by a range of microorganisms to transport electrons
over distances of up to tens of nanometres. Perhaps the most spectacular utilization of these …

The removal of environmental pollutants is important for a sustainable ecosystem and
human health. Shewanella oneidensis (S. oneidensis) has diverse electron transfer …

Symbioses between bacteria and eukaryotes are ubiquitous, yet our understanding of the
interactions driving these associations is hampered by our inability to cultivate most host …

Acidobacteriota are widespread and often abundant in marine sediments, yet their metabolic
and ecological properties are poorly understood. Here, we examined metabolisms and …

The characteristics of heme prosthetic groups and their binding sites have been analyzed in
detail in a data set of nonhomologous heme proteins. Variations in the shape, volume, and …
