The paper characterizes carbon fixation pathways in subsurface metagenomes and estimates a global continental subsurface carbon fixation rate of ~2.65 Pg C yr-1.

The paper investigates microbial diversity and geochemistry in shallow-water hydrothermal vents in the Gulf of Naples, finding that fluid chemistry shaped microbial communities and revealing two new vent sites.

The paper analyzes microbial biosynthetic potential across geothermal environments, finding that tectonic settings influence the diversity and types of biosynthetic gene clusters.

This study shows that trace metal availability in Escherichia coli affects electron acceptor utilization, leading to metabolic shifts and increased energy expenditure for metal homeostasis.
