Acidity and sulfur oxidation intermediate concentrations controlled by O2-driven partitioning of sulfur oxidizing bacteria in a mine tailings impoundment

K. J. Whaley-Martin, L.-X. Chen, T. Colebrander Nelson, J. Gordon, R. Kantor, L. E. Twible, S. Marshall, L. Rossi, B. Bessette, C. Baron, S. Apte, J. Banfield, L. A. Warren

The paper investigates sulfur oxidation by bacteria in a mine tailings impoundment, showing how oxygen drives niche partitioning among sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and affects acidity and thiosulfate levels.

Thiocyanate and organic carbon inputs drive convergent selection for specific autotrophic Afipia and Thiobacillus strains within complex microbiomes

R. J. Huddy, R. Sachdeva, F. Kadzinga, R. Kantor, S. T. L. Harrison, J. F. Banfield

The paper shows that thiocyanate and organic carbon inputs select for specific autotrophic Afipia and Thiobacillus strains in microbiomes, with molasses removal favoring a dominant Afipia variant.

Hydrogen-based metabolism - An ancestral trait in lineages sibling to the Cyanobacteria

P. B. Matheus Carnevali, F. Schulz, C. J. Castelle, R. Kantor, P. Shih, I. Sharon, J. Santini, M. Olm, Y. Amano, B. C. Thomas, K. Anantharaman, D. Burstein, E. D. Becraft, R. Stepanauskas, T. Woyke, J. F. Banfield

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.
