Methane is one of the most important greenhouse gases on Earth and holds an important
place in the global carbon cycle. Archaea are the only organisms that use methanogenesis …

Alkanes are saturated apolar hydrocarbons that range from their simplest form, methane, to
high-molecular-weight compounds. Although alkanes were once considered biologically …

Oils are hydrophobic, but their degradation is frequently found to be accelerated in the
presence of water microdroplets. The direct chemical consequences of water–oil contact …

Methane-dependent nitrate and nitrite removal in anoxic environments is thought to rely on
syntrophy between ANME-2d archaea and bacteria in the genus 'Candidatus …

Understanding methane (CH4) emission from thermokarst lakes is crucial for predicting the
impacts of abrupt thaw on the permafrost carbon-climate feedback. However, observational …

As a byproduct of sewage treatment in wastewater treatment plants, sludge has dual
attributes with pollution and resource, and its research is important to ecological …

Bathyarchaeia, as one of the most abundant microorganisms on Earth, play vital roles in the
global carbon cycle. However, our understanding of their origin, evolution, and ecological …

Anaerobic methane metabolism is among the hallmarks of Archaea, originating very early in
their evolution. Here, we show that the ancestor of methane metabolizers was an autotrophic …

Coastal zones are among the world's most productive ecosystems. They store vast amounts
of organic carbon, as 'blue carbon'reservoirs, and impact global climate change. Archaeal …

Methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea produce and consume the greenhouse gas
methane, respectively, using the reversible enzyme methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr) …
