This study cultivates and characterizes novel anaerobic bacteria from deep sulfidic Black Sea waters, revealing their specialized roles in organic matter degradation.

The paper combines DNA scaffolds and acoustic force spectroscopy to measure single-molecule protein bond rupture under force, showing agreement with standard techniques.

The paper identifies bacterial enzymes involved in producing ether-linked membrane-spanning lipids and shows that branched iso-fatty acids are their building blocks.

This study reports the enrichment of a stable co-culture of Micrarchaeota with its host and identifies dependencies on host-derived metabolites for growth.
