This study uses genome-resolved metatranscriptomics to investigate arsenic demethylation and detoxification pathways in methanogenic rice paddy soil, linking methyltransferase gene expression to microbial processes.

The paper develops a tunable Cre-lox system in E. coli for low-rate genomic recombination, demonstrating its use in an arsenite biosensor that detects and records anoxic exposure.

This paper compares the performance of three microbes in dissolving ultramafic rock dunite, finding that Gluconobacter oxydans outperforms the others in acid production and metal extraction.

This paper demonstrates that Gluconobacter oxydans produces biolixiviants that significantly accelerate the leaching of cations from ultramafic minerals compared to chemical alternatives.

The paper screens a genome-scale knockout collection of Gluconobacter oxydans B58 to identify genes important for bioleaching neodymium, finding 89 genes, 68 novel to this process, and validating strain-specific effects on bioleaching efficiency.

This paper improves REE bioleaching by engineering Gluconobacter oxydans through genetic modifications that enhance acid production and metabolic efficiency.

This study identifies genes in Shewanella oneidensis that affect rare earth element biosorption, offering targets for genetic engineering to improve REE separation.

The paper identifies genetic factors in Gluconobacter oxydans that enhance rare earth element bioleaching, finding 304 genes affecting acid production and bioleaching efficiency.
