Permanently cold habitats dominate our planet and psychrophilic microorganisms thrive in
cold environments. Environmental adaptations unique to psychrophilic microorganisms …

Grazing rate estimates indicate that approximately half of the bacterivory in oligotrophic
oceans is due to mixotrophic flagellates (MFs). However, most estimations have considered …

High-latitude environments, such as the Antarctic McMurdo Dry Valley lakes, are subject to
seasonally segregated light–dark cycles, which have important consequences for microbial …

Soil microbial autotrophs play a significant role in CO 2 fixation in terrestrial ecosystem,
particularly in vegetation-constrained ecosystems with environmental stresses, such as the …

CO 2-fixing by soil autotrophic microbes is as important as by plants in semi-arid and arid
ecosystems, such as the Tibetan Plateau grassland. CO 2-fixing microbial community …

High-latitude meromictic lakes such as those in the Antarctic McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV)
harbor aquatic ecosystems dominated by the microbial loop. Within this habitat, which is …

The Calvin cycle is known to be the major pathway for CO2 fixation, but our current
understanding of its occurrence and importance in paddy soils is poor. In this study, the …

Higher microbial diversity was frequently observed in saline than fresh waters, but the
underlying mechanisms remains unknown, particularly in microbial primary producers …

Global warming has resulted in substantial glacier retreats in high-elevation areas, exposing
deglaciated soils to harsh environmental conditions. Autotrophic microbes are pioneering …

The desertification process is characterized by the degradation of soil habitats and
attenuation of plant biomass, leading to decreased soil carbon (C) input and increased …
