The paper surveys global prokaryotic carbon fixation pathways, revealing an oxygen-tolerant rTCA cycle in surface ocean Campylobacterota lineages.

The paper catalogs diazotroph genomes and analyzes their distribution across environments, identifying freshwater and sedimentary ecosystems as key nitrogen-fixation reservoirs.

The paper examines latitudinal diversity gradients in the ocean microbiome, finding they are not universal but vary by taxa and environmental factors.

This study identifies metabolic adaptations in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that enable their persistence in symbiosis with gutless marine worms, revealing a conserved core metabolism distinct from free-living relatives.

This study identifies DMSP and DMS cycling as integral to the metabolism of gutless oligochaete symbioses, revealing widespread organosulfur metabolism across species.

Metalog manually curates and harmonises contextual metadata for 110,733 metagenomic samples from humans, animals, ocean water and other environments, linked to taxonomic profiles and SPIRE genomes.

The paper studies Rickettsiales microbiomes in placozoans to reveal evolutionary shifts towards mutualism, finding some symbionts have lost parasitic traits.
