The paper reports the genome of Candidatus Argioplasma dusa, a spider symbiont, and finds it has a small genome with limited biosynthetic capabilities, suggesting an endosymbiotic lifestyle.

The paper quantifies how trophic guilds influence soil organic carbon mineralization under warming by integrating sequencing and biomass conversion factors in a field experiment.

This study isolates and characterizes exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria from degraded and intact permafrost soils, identifying key species and their EPS composition.

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 identifies methanogen and methanotroph phylotypes in pan-Arctic permafrost soils and shows their spatial distribution and functional shifts after permafrost degradation.

This study shows that reducing land-use intensity in grasslands for three years does not restore methane sink function, but decreases soil bulk density and methanogen abundance.

The paper examines how different hydrological conditions after permafrost thaw affect microbial community composition and diversity in soil samples.

This study examines how bacterivorous nematodes and maize litter amendments influence bacterial and archaeal population dynamics in soil over 32 days.

The paper uses metatranscriptomics to assess bacterivores in soil, finding Myxobacteria are abundant and may act as keystone taxa, suggesting a bacterial loop independent of protozoa and nematodes.
