Methane-linked mechanisms of electron uptake from cathodes by Methanosarcina barkeri

This paper confirms Methanosarcina barkeri can uptake electrons from cathodes, linking it to increased methane production and identifying both hydrogenase-mediated and hydrogenase-independent pathways for cathodic electron uptake.

Divergent methyl-coenzyme M reductase genes in a deep-subseafloor Archaeoglobi

This study identifies a new Archaeoglobi lineage with divergent MCR genes, expanding the known evolutionary history of methane-generating archaea.
