Mangrove wetlands possess four important characteristics as one of the unique marine
ecosystems, and are found in the intertidal coastal regions of the tropics and subtropics in …

Coastal zones are among the world's most productive ecosystems. They store vast amounts
of organic carbon, as 'blue carbon'reservoirs, and impact global climate change. Archaeal …

Asgard archaea are considered to be the closest known relatives of eukaryotes. Their
genomes contain hundreds of eukaryotic signature proteins (ESPs), which inspired …

Metagenomic analysis has facilitated prediction of a variety of carbon utilization potentials by
uncultivated archaea including degradation of protein, which is a wide-spread carbon …

The origin of the eukaryotic cell is a major open question in biology. Asgard archaea are the
closest known prokaryotic relatives of eukaryotes, and their genomes encode various …

Background The trophic strategy is one key principle to categorize microbial lifestyles, by
broadly classifying microorganisms based on the combination of their preferred carbon …

Background Gas hydrate-bearing subseafloor sediments harbor a large number of
microorganisms. Within these sediments, organic matter and upward-migrating methane are …

Bathyarchaeia represent a class of archaea common and abundant in sedimentary
ecosystems. Here we report 56 metagenome-assembled genomes of Bathyarchaeia viruses …

The archaeal ancestor of eukaryotes apparently belonged to the phylum Asgardarchaeota,
but the ecology and evolution of Asgard archaea are poorly understood. The optimal GDP …

Murals or wall paintings are an important part of cultural heritage and are both valuable and
vulnerable because of their appearance on walls, ceilings or other large surfaces of natural …
