Soil viruses reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote microbial necromass accrual

This study shows soil viruses reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase microbial necromass, influencing soil carbon storage through viral-mediated microbial mortality.

Phosphoketolase and KDPG aldolase metabolism modulate photosynthetic carbon yield in cyanobacteria

This study shows that phosphoketolase and KDPG aldolase metabolism in cyanobacteria modulate photosynthetic carbon yield by optimizing carbon resource allocation during dark respiration.
