This study shows that freshwater sponges acquired the microbial gene rquA via lateral gene transfer, enabling rhodoquinone biosynthesis and adaptation to hypoxia.

This paper demonstrates that semi-permeable capsules can sustain and observe eukaryotes from eight supergroups, enabling parallel cultivation and microscopic analysis.

The paper shows that protist survival in anaerobic microcosms depends on bacterial metabolic capabilities rather than taxonomy, highlighting hydrogen exchange in syntrophic interactions.
