The paper identifies a novel contractile injection system in thermophilic bacteria from hot spring mats using cryoET and metagenomics.

This study examines seasonal changes in aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria, showing higher phototrophic activity in particle-attached fractions compared to free-living ones.

This study shows that aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria benefit from photoheterotrophy under both carbon-rich and carbon-poor conditions, with seasonal variations in their advantage.

The paper identifies a conserved high gene strand bias region in Gemmatimonadota chromosomes, suggests its evolutionary origin through horizontal gene transfer, and links it to reduced replication-transcription conflicts.

This study investigates the seasonal dynamics of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria in a freshwater lake, revealing their role in organic matter recycling and ecological dynamics.
