Single-cell trait diversity explains niche and fitness differences in aquatic microbial communities

The paper measures single-cell trait diversity in lake microbial communities and finds it correlates with ecosystem functioning, while genetic diversity does not.

Active reconfiguration of cytoplasmic lipid droplets governs migration of nutrient-limited phytoplankton

This study shows that phytoplankton use lipid droplets to biomechanically regulate migration in nutrient-limited environments.

Bacterial, phytoplankton, and viral dynamics of meromictic Lake Cadagno offer insights into the Proterozoic ocean microbial loop

This study analyzes microbial dynamics in Lake Cadagno to understand Proterozoic ocean food webs, finding key roles for viruses and microbial guilds in organic matter cycling.

Microbial loop of a Proterozoic ocean analogue

This study investigates the microbial loop in Lake Cadagno, revealing the distribution of microbial communities and their roles in nutrient cycling and organic matter recycling in a stratified, anoxic environment.

Dark aerobic sulfide oxidation by anoxygenic phototrophs in the anoxic waters of Lake Cadagno

This study shows that Chromatium okenii drives dark aerobic sulfide oxidation in anoxic Lake Cadagno waters, challenging the assumption that aerobic respiration is rare in such environments.

Anoxygenic Photosynthesis and Dark Carbon Metabolism under micro-oxic conditions in the Purple Sulfur Bacterium \"Thiodictyon syntrophicum\" nov. strain Cad16T

This study investigates carbon fixation and metabolic responses in Thiodictyon syntrophicum under micro-oxic conditions using proteomics and 14C experiments.
