Metabolically-versatile Ca. Thiodiazotropha symbionts of the deep-sea lucinid clam Lucinoma kazani have the genetic potential to fix nitrogen

The paper identifies nitrogen fixation genes in deep-sea Ca. Thiodiazotropha symbionts of Lucinoma kazani but finds no expression of these genes, while highlighting high expression of carbon fixation and sulfur oxidation genes.

Collaborative metabolic curation of an emerging model marine bacterium, Alteromonas macleodii ATCC 27126

The paper describes a collaborative curation workshop to improve the metabolic reconstruction of Alteromonas macleodii ATCC 27126 using genomic and physiological data, identifying key metabolic pathways and gaps.
