The paper shows that some mitochondria-lacking planctomycetal bacteria can engulf prey, challenging mitochondria-first eukaryogenesis models.

The paper describes a tripartite interaction between a patescibacterial epibiont, its gammaproteobacterial host, and their phages, revealing host specificity and genetic adaptations.

The paper identifies novel extended tetraether lipids in a high-CO2 geyser, suggesting their role in membrane adaptation to extreme conditions.

The paper analyzes hyporheic zone microbiomes across North America to show conserved stress responses and distinct metabolic activity in sediments versus surface water.
