Microbial aerotrophy enables continuous primary production in diverse cave ecosystems

Sean K. Bay, Gaofeng Ni, Rachael J. Lappan, Pok Man Leung, Wei Wen Wong, Sophie I. Holland, Nadeesha Athukorala, Kalinka Sand Knudsen, Z. Y. Fan, Melina Kerou, Surbhi Jain, Oliver Schmidt, Vera M. Eate, David A. Clarke, Thanavit Jirapanjawat, , Chris Greening

This study identifies aerotrophy as a primary energy source in caves, revealing microbial use of atmospheric trace gases for continuous primary production.

Methanogenesis inhibition remodels microbial fermentation and stimulates acetogenesis in ruminants

Gaofeng Ni, Min Wang, Nicola D. Walker, Stefan Muetzel, Oliver Schmidt, André Fischer, René T. Stemmler, Pok Man Leung, Xiumin Zhang, Qiushuang Li, Surbhi Jain, Marion Jespersen, Rhys Grinter, Stephen D. J. Archer, David Pacheco, , Chris Greening

This study shows that 3-NOP reduces methane emissions in ruminants by altering microbial communities and fermentation pathways, but limits productivity gains due to shifts in hydrogen-cycling microbes.
