The paper examines genomic changes in CPR bacteria transitioning from soil to groundwater, finding differences in genome size, replication rate, and gene content.

The paper measures carbon fixation rates in groundwater and finds they rival those in oligotrophic marine systems.

This study investigates Patescibacteria in groundwater, finding they have minimal metabolic pathways and show little adaptation to environmental drivers, suggesting an economical lifestyle with broad host interactions.

The paper uses stable isotope cluster analysis to show mixotrophs, not obligate chemolithoautotrophs, dominate carbon cycling in groundwater by opportunistically using both organic and inorganic carbon sources.

This study describes the biology of the cogongrass gall midge and develops a rearing method, finding it completes its life cycle in 12-38 days with specific developmental periods.

This study shows that combining Oxford Nanopore long reads with Illumina sequencing improves the quality and quantity of microbial and phage genomes assembled from groundwater metagenomes.

The paper characterizes the seafloor microbiome in the Gulf of Mexico, showing it is consistent with depth and sediment stratification, and that DWH-impacted sites had recovered after two years.
