This study investigates the metabolic diversity of the Chloroflexi supergroup, revealing novel genes for non-photosynthesis based CO2 fixation and diverse metabolic capabilities across related phyla.

The paper investigates microbial metabolic potential in floodplain soils along a river corridor, finding that meander-bound regions predict biogeochemical capacities at the watershed scale.

The paper identifies novel archaea in soils and sediments with divergent CuMMO enzymes, suggesting they contribute to nitrogen cycling through ammonia oxidation.

The paper analyzes genomes of Elusimicrobia from various environments, finding groundwater-associated species show diverse metabolic capabilities and some encode novel nitrogenase paralogs.

This study analyzes metabolic diversity in CPR bacteria, finding that gene loss and lateral transfer shape metabolic trait distribution, with conserved central pathways and patchy accessory traits.

The paper evaluates metagenome-derived metrics to define bacterial species boundaries and finds ribosomal proteins are more effective than 16S rRNA genes for species discrimination.

The paper examines microbial community structure and function across a hillslope-riparian transect, finding that proximity to the stream, groundwater, and weathered bedrock significantly influences microbial composition and metabolic potential.

This paper predicts the metabolisms of Margulisbacteria and Saganbacteria using genomic data and compares them to their phylogenetic neighbors, supporting the hypothesis that their ancestor used hydrogen metabolism and fermentation.
