Microbial communities often exhibit incredible taxonomic diversity, raising questions
regarding the mechanisms enabling species coexistence and the role of this diversity in …

The discovery of chemosynthetic ecosystems at deep-sea hydrothermal vents in 1977
changed our view of biology. Chemosynthetic bacteria and archaea form the foundation of …

Plants intimately associate with diverse bacteria. Plant-associated bacteria have ostensibly
evolved genes that enable them to adapt to plant environments. However, the identities of …

In ocean waters, anaerobic microbial respiration should be confined to the anoxic waters
found in coastal regions and tropical oxygen minimum zones, where it is energetically …

The biotransformation of arsenic is highly relevant to the arsenic biogeochemical cycle.
Identification of the molecular details of microbial pathways of arsenic biotransformation …

This study introduced photogenerated electrons into the anammox system by coupling them
to a g-C3N4 nanoparticle photocatalyst. A high nitrogen removal efficiency (94.25%) was …

Microbial communities are essential components of aquatic ecosystems through their
contribution to food web dynamics and biogeochemical processes. Aquatic microbial …

Large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, are produced in anoxic sediments by
methanogenic archaea. Nonetheless, over 90% of the produced methane is oxidized via …

Dysoxic marine waters (DMW,< 1 μM oxygen) are currently expanding in volume in the
oceans, which has biogeochemical, ecological and societal consequences on a global …

Microbial communities drive biogeochemical cycles through networks of metabolite
exchange that are structured along energetic gradients. As energy yields become limiting …
