This study identifies disaccharides as significant metabolites in alkane-oxidizing archaea and their bacterial partners, suggesting roles in energy storage and carbon cycling.

The paper analyzes viral communities in alkane-degrading enrichments, finding abiotic factors influence composition and potential roles in host physiology.

This study identifies a minimal microbial community in a subsurface biofilm at Ginsburg Mud Volcano, dominated by ANME-1b archaea and Seep-SRB1c bacteria, involved in anaerobic methane oxidation.

The paper shows that ANME-2 and SRB in cold seeps primarily assimilate inorganic carbon into biomass, with SRB showing eightfold higher 13C assimilation than ANME.

The paper determines atomic structures of MCRs from anaerobic methanotrophic archaea, revealing conserved structures and post-translational modifications.

This study identifies F420 reduction as a key driver in anaerobic ethanotrophy by characterizing archaeal enzymes and their structural interactions with F420-reductase modules.
