This paper identifies a bacterial strain capable of fully detoxifying 1,2,3-TCP by utilizing allyl chloride as a respiratory electron acceptor, revealing interactions between microbial metabolism and geochemical processes.

The paper identifies a cobamide-dependent fermentation pathway in Dehalobacter that converts dichloromethane to acetate and formate, revealing an acetogenic lifestyle previously unknown in this genus.

This study investigates N2O formation and consumption in thawing permafrost using microcosms, finding that N2O formation exceeds consumption, likely driven by non-denitrifying bacteria.

This study investigates N2O reduction in acidic tropical soils, finding distinct microbial communities and novel taxa associated with N2O reduction at low pH.
