Phylogenetic and structural diversity of aromatically dense pili from environmental metagenomes

M. S. Bray, J. Wu, C. C. Padilla, F. J. Stewart, D. A. Fowle, C. Henny, R. L. Simister, K. J. Thompson, S. A. Crowe, J. B. Glass

The paper identifies diverse putative e-pilin genes from environmental metagenomes using updated aromatic density thresholds, expanding known e-pili diversity in metal-rich ecosystems.

Multiple prebiotic metals mediate translation

M. S. Bray, T. K. Lenz, J. W. Haynes, J. C. Bowman, A. S. Petrov, A. R. Reddi, N. V. Hud, L. D. Williams, J. B. Glass

The paper tests whether Fe2+ and Mn2+ could replace Mg2+ in ribosome function under ancient Earth conditions, finding they can mediate translation and associate with the ribosome.

Shifting microbial communities sustain multi-year iron reduction and methanogenesis in ferruginous sediment incubations

M. S. Bray, J. Wu, B. C. Reed, C. B. Kretz, K. M. Belli, R. L. Simister, C. Henny, F. J. Stewart, T. J. DiChristina, J. A. Brandes, D. A. Fowle, S. A. Crowe, J. B. Glass

This study examines how different Fe(III) oxides affect microbial communities and methane cycling in ferruginous sediments over time, showing that Fe(III) mineralogy influences methanogenesis and iron reduction.
