Most prokaryotes are not available as pure cultures and therefore ineligible for naming
under the rules and recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature of …

Biogeochemistry is controlled by a small set of microbial-encoded proteins containing redox-
sensitive transition metals as their core catalytic centre. Understanding how the …

Background When deep-sea hydrothermal fluids mix with cold oxygenated fluids, minerals
precipitate out of solution and form hydrothermal deposits. These actively venting deep-sea …

Pterin based molybdenum cofactor found in the molybdenum dependent enzymes catalyzes
the oxo-transferase and hydroxylase activity. For tungsten, the pterin based tungsten …

Few aerobic hyperthermophilic microorganisms degrade polysaccharides. Here, we
describe the genome-enabled enrichment and optical tweezer-based isolation of an aerobic …

Living systems are built from a small subset of the atomic elements, including the bulk
macronutrients (C, H, N, O, P, S) and ions (Mg, K, Na, Ca) together with a small but variable …

The biology of Korarchaeia remains elusive due to the lack of genome representatives.
Here, we reconstruct 10 closely related metagenome-assembled genomes from hot spring …

Members of the archaeal order Caldarchaeales (previously the phylum Aigarchaeota) are
poorly sampled and are represented in public databases by relatively few genomes …

Hydrothermal systems form at divergent and convergent boundaries of lithospheric plates
and within plates due to weakened crust and mantle plumes, playing host to diverse …

Terrestrial geothermal springs are physicochemically diverse and host abundant
populations of Archaea. However, the diversity, functionality, and geological influences of …
