Novel Anammox Bacteria Discovered in the Untapped Subsurface Aquifers

The paper discovers new anammox bacteria in aquifers, expands taxonomic diversity, and highlights their role in nitrogen cycling.

A mixed blessing of viruses in wastewater treatment plants

This study investigates the role of viruses in wastewater treatment plants, finding they can enhance contaminant degradation but also spread antibiotic resistance.

Environmental conditions and diffusion-limited microbial transfer drive specific microbial communities detected at different sections in oil-production reservoir with water-flooding

This study examines microbial community distribution in oil-production reservoirs, finding that environmental variation and diffusion-limited transfer shape distinct communities in different sections.

Highly diverse Asgard archaea participate in organic matter degradation in coastal sediments

This study identifies a new Asgard archaeal phylum, Gerdarchaeota, and shows their role in organic matter degradation in coastal sediments through genomic and transcriptomic analysis.

Asgard archaea are diverse, ubiquitous, and transcriptionally active microbes

This study identifies 13 Asgard archaeal subgroups, reveals their widespread distribution in anaerobic environments, and provides evidence of their transcriptionally active mixotrophic lifestyle.
