The paper investigates anaerobic demethylation of methylated micropollutants in Skagerrak Sea sediments, showing bacterial and archaeal pathways for naproxen but recalcitrance for caffeine.

This study quantifies metal accumulation in Methanosarcina barkeri during cathodic growth and identifies metal localization, suggesting their role in extracellular electron transfer.

The paper uses genome-resolved metagenomics to identify novel electroactive syntrophs in a conductive particle-dependent consortium from coastal sediments, revealing genomic markers and electron-transfer pathways.

The paper shows that aerotolerant methanogens in oxygenated marine sediments produce methane using seaweed and seagrass metabolites, linking eutrophication to increased methane emissions.

This paper reviews the differences in cell surface properties and extracellular electron transfer strategies between Type I and Type II Methanosarcina, highlighting gaps in understanding their molecular mechanisms.

The paper shows extracellular RNA facilitates electron transfer in Methanosarcina barkeri, enabling electromethanogenesis, and suggests RNA-based electron transfer may be ancestral.

This study identifies genomic adaptations in Methanococcus maripaludis Mic1c10 that enable corrosive behavior on constructed surfaces through a [NiFe]-hydrogenase linked to Fe0 electron transfer.
