Multicellular magnetotactic bacterial consortia are metabolically differentiated and not clonal

This study reveals that multicellular magnetotactic bacterial consortia are not clonal and exhibit metabolic differentiation, challenging previous assumptions about their biology.

Methylotrophic methanogenesis in the Archaeoglobi revealed by cultivation of Ca. Methanoglobus hypatiae from a Yellowstone hot spring

This study cultivates a new methanogenic archaeon, Ca. Methanoglobus hypatiae, from Yellowstone hot springs and shows it performs methylotrophic methanogenesis.

Diversity and function of methyl-coenzyme M reductase-encoding archaea in Yellowstone hot springs revealed by metagenomics and mesocosm experiments

This study combines metagenomics and mesocosm experiments to reveal diverse methyl-coenzyme M reductase-encoding archaea in Yellowstone hot springs and their metabolic capabilities.

Culexarchaeia, a novel archaeal class of anaerobic generalists inhabiting geothermal environments

The paper identifies a new archaeal class, Culexarchaeia, from geothermal environments, revealing unique metabolic and cellular features.

Screening of additives for droplet qRT-PCR thermocycling enables single influenza A virus genome quantification

This paper develops a droplet qRT-PCR assay for single influenza A virus genome quantification by optimizing additives to maintain drop stability and limit dye diffusion.
