This study shows that bacterial fermentation, not respiration, dominates in upland soils during hypoxia, challenging the assumption that respiration is the primary metabolic strategy.

The paper investigates chemosynthesis in a marine cave ecosystem, finding that interior communities rely on chemosynthetic processes for carbon fixation and diversity, contrasting with entrance areas.

This study identifies aridity as the primary driver of microbial community structure and biogeochemical activities in deserts across seven continents.

The paper identifies Flavobacteria in coastal sediments that reduce nitrous oxide emissions by having low substrate affinity, contradicting prior assumptions and suggesting they buffer nitrogen cycling.

The paper examines how soil trace gas oxidizers respond to short- and long-term warming, finding increased CO and H2 oxidation but reduced CH4 oxidation with long-term warming.

This study shows that chemosynthesis significantly contributes to carbon fixation in microbialite ecosystems, enhancing their productivity beyond photosynthesis.

This study isolates two Campylobacterota strains that use molecular hydrogen as an electron donor for dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium, challenging the traditional C:N ratio paradigm.
