The paper cultivates a novel anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium from the Chloroflexota phylum that uses a Type I reaction center, revealing evolutionary insights into phototrophy.

This study characterizes the skin- and intestine microbial communities of migrating high Arctic lake whitefish and cisco across different salinity environments, revealing differences in microbiota diversity and potential implications for fish health and fisheries management.

The paper analyzes microbial communities in aquarium biofilters and finds that comammox Nitrospira dominate ammonia oxidation in freshwater systems, while AOA or AOB dominate in saltwater systems.

This study compares microbial communities in bentonite clays using cultivation and direct nucleic acid extraction, finding distinct profiles with limited shared taxa.

The paper analyzes global metagenomes to study metabolic specialization of freshwater Chlorobia, revealing widespread distribution and niche-specific adaptations.

This study identifies photoferrotrophic potential in Boreal Shield lakes using genome-resolved metagenomics and enrichment cultivation, revealing ecological and biogeochemical controls on this process.

This study identifies high functional diversity among Nitrospira populations in wastewater treatment plant biofilms, revealing distinct metabolic capabilities and spatial distributions.

The paper uses Boreal Shield lakes to study Archaean ocean biogeochemistry by analyzing isotopic and nucleic acid data from anoxic zones.
