This study identifies cold seeps as significant nitrogen-loss hotspots, revealing diverse microbial communities and active nitrogen-loss genes across multiple phyla.

The paper identifies a new bacterial phylum, Candidatus Nitrosediminicolota, which oxidizes nitrite and resolves the abundance imbalance between ammonia-oxidizing archaea and canonical nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in marine sediments.

This study reports 33 new metagenome-assembled genomes of DPANN archaea from marine oxygen deficient zones, revealing their abundance, distribution, and potential roles in biogeochemical cycles.

The paper identifies two novel Scalindua genomes from oxygen deficient zones, revealing their metabolic versatility and evolutionary adaptation to anoxic environments.
