The paper investigates how organic carbon oxidation state affects microbiome composition and greenhouse gas fluxes in anaerobic rice paddy sediments.

This study uses metagenome-guided substrate selection to enrich Terriglobus, identify co-occurring taxa, and isolate a novel species from soil.

The paper investigates how methanotrophic bacteria in rice paddies influence broader microbial communities by enriching and analyzing their metabolic capabilities.

This paper describes a novel syntrophic interaction called lithosyntrophy, where phosphite oxidation drives hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis in an obligate partnership between a bacterium and a methanogen.

This study uses random barcode transposon-site sequencing in Mycobacterium tuberculosis to identify gene functions, revealing novel phenotypes and metabolic pathways.

This study demonstrates Azospira suillum PS can produce PHB under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions with perchlorate as an electron acceptor, highlighting its potential for sustainable bioplastic production.

The paper characterizes bacterial cobamide preferences by testing growth under specific cobamide-dependent conditions, revealing broad diversity in cobamide usage across organisms and metabolic pathways.

This paper uses high-throughput genetics to identify nutrient utilization and accessory energy metabolism genes in the methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis.

This study shows that probiotic communities can prevent Burkholderia thailandensis infection in mice by reducing niche overlap with the pathogen.
