Global carbon fixation in Earth's subsurface biosphere

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.

The microbiology and geochemistry of the shallow-water hydrothermal vents of the Gulf of Naples, Italy

The paper investigates microbial diversity and geochemistry in shallow-water hydrothermal vents in the Gulf of Naples, finding that fluid chemistry shaped microbial communities and revealing two new vent sites.

Tectonic setting shapes microbial biosynthetic potential across global geothermal environments

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