The paper investigates Gracilibacteria activity in a high-CO2 aquifer using metaproteogenomics, suggesting they may function as microbial predators.

The paper identifies metabolic differences between symbiont subpopulations in Riftia pachyptila, showing small symbionts focus on division and host interaction while large ones specialize in carbon fixation and biosynthesis.

The paper identifies two intracellular bacteria in Trichoplax H2, showing they live in symbiosis with the host and have distinct metabolic roles.

The paper identifies a horizontally acquired Calvin cycle in Campylobacterota symbionts and free-living members, challenging assumptions about carbon fixation pathway distribution.

This paper introduces a metaproteomics method called direct Protein-SIF and software to measure carbon isotope ratios in microbial communities, confirming its accuracy and utility in studying microbial metabolism.
