The paper shows glycogen-accumulating organisms use the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway for CO2 fixation to achieve metabolic parity with polyphosphate-accumulating organisms, leading to community shifts through stoichiometric advantages.

The paper isolates and characterizes two haloalkaliphilic Verrucomicrobiota strains from soda habitats, describing their physiology, genomics, and proteomics, and proposes a new genus and species.

This study shows two Aeromonas strains can degrade and use chitin as a carbon and nitrogen source, revealing their metabolic potential in nutrient-poor environments.
