Carbon monoxide metabolism in freshwater anaerobic methanotrophic archaea

This study reveals that freshwater anaerobic methanotrophic archaea prefer carbon monoxide over methane as an electron donor, highlighting novel metabolic pathways and genome plasticity.

Potential for metal-coupled methane oxidation by Candidatus Methanocomedenaceae in coastal sediments

The paper investigates the genomic potential and ecophysiology of ANME-2a for metal-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation in coastal sediments, identifying two clusters with differing electron transfer capabilities.

Protozoal populations drive system-wide variation in the rumen microbiome

The paper identifies two rumen community types linked to protozoal populations and shows their impact on microbial interactions and metabolite profiles.
