This study investigates how a bacterium selectively enriches light lanthanides from various sources, revealing mechanisms for microbial lanthanide discrimination and storage.

This study examines how phenological changes and throughfall transport influence phyllosphere microbiomes in temperate forests, finding phenology has a greater impact than tree species.

The study investigates BGC diversity and activity in peatland soils, finding that environmental factors influence which BGCs are expressed.

This study shows that algal glycine betaine stimulates bacterial cobalamin production, creating a feedback loop that influences marine microbial interactions and productivity.

This study examines groundwater microbiome resilience and vulnerability to hydroclimatic extremes over a decade, revealing distinct temporal patterns in connected and isolated aquifers.

This paper identifies potential iron oxidation marker genes in Sideroxydans sp. CL21 by comparing gene expression under different growth conditions.

The paper analyzes groundwater viromes to show viruses influence microbial metabolism and nutrient cycling through auxiliary metabolic genes and host-targeting mechanisms.

The paper identifies four new respiratory endosymbiont genomes, revealing their global distribution and ability to perform both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
