Approximately 9 million metric tons of plastics enters the ocean annually, and once in the
marine environment, plastic surfaces can be quickly colonised by marine microorganisms …

The supplementation of conductive materials (CMs) is a promising strategy to improve the
methane (CH 4) yield from anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge. However, most CMs …

The terrestrial subsurface is estimated to be the largest reservoir of microbial life on Earth.
However, the subsurface also harbours economic, industrial and environmental resources …

Methanogens and anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) are important players in
the global carbon cycle. Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is a key enzyme in methane …

Salt marshes are dynamic, highly productive ecosystems positioned at the interface between
terrestrial and marine systems. They are exposed to large quantities of both natural and …

Waste sludge is a valuable resource for nitrogen recovery, while electro-fermentation system
(EFS) can boost sludge fermentation. However, the simultaneous recovery of nitrogen …

Environmentally relevant metagenomes and BONCAT-FACS derived translationally active
metagenomes from Powder River Basin coal seams were investigated to elucidate potential …

Background Despite rapid advances in genomic-resolved metagenomics and remarkable
explosion of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), the function of uncultivated …

Biogenic gas production can be improved by activating coal microorganisms, which is of
great significance and application value to increase the production of coalbed methane …

Technological advances have largely driven the revolution in our understanding of the
structure and function of microbial communities. Culturing, long the primary tool to probe …
