The paper characterizes carbon fixation pathways in subsurface metagenomes and estimates a global continental subsurface carbon fixation rate of ~2.65 Pg C yr-1.

This study investigates N2O formation and consumption in thawing permafrost using microcosms, finding that N2O formation exceeds consumption, likely driven by non-denitrifying bacteria.

The paper analyzes microbial biosynthetic potential across geothermal environments, finding that tectonic settings influence the diversity and types of biosynthetic gene clusters.

The paper identifies genomic signatures predictive of microbial culturability using MAGs from the GEM catalog, finding that cultured microbes have more conserved metabolic pathways.

BONCAT-Live isolates and cultivates active bacteria from environmental samples in response to specific stimuli, enabling study of their metabolic and adaptive responses.

This study identifies genetic traits enabling Promethearchaeota to persist in marine sediments frozen for over 100 kyr, showing their survival through DNA repair and stability.

VEBA 2.0 is a modular bioinformatics suite that enables genome-resolved analysis of prokaryotes, microeukaryotes, and viruses from short- or long-read sequencing data, with applications in diverse environments.

The paper analyzes subsurface microbiomes globally, finding a marine-terrestrial phylogenetic divide and revealing that marine subsurface environments host significant microbial diversity.

The paper examines how taxonomic bias affects differential-abundance analysis in microbiome studies and proposes methods to mitigate its effects.
