Methane-oxidizing bacteria are characterized by their capability to grow on methane as sole
source of carbon and energy. Cultivation-dependent and-independent methods have …

Methanobactins (mbs) are low-molecular-mass (< 1,200 Da) copper-binding peptides, or
chalkophores, produced by many methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). These …

Spatial metabolomics describes the location and chemistry of small molecules involved in
metabolic phenotypes, defence molecules and chemical interactions in natural communities …

Hydrocarbons have been part of the biosphere for millions of years, and a diverse group of
prokaryotes has evolved to use them as a source of carbon and energy. To date, the vast …

To understand the biogeochemical roles of microorganisms in the environment, it is
important to determine when and under which conditions they are metabolically active …

Here we describe the application of a new click chemistry method for fluorescent tracking of
protein synthesis in individual microorganisms within environmental samples. This …

Aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) have the unique ability to grow on
methane as their sole source of carbon and energy. They are ubiquitous in the environment …

Abstract Lost City (mid-Atlantic ridge) is a unique oceanic hydrothermal field where
carbonate-brucite chimneys are colonized by a single phylotype of archaeal …

Soda lakes are saline and alkaline ecosystems that are considered to have existed since the
first geological records of the world. These lakes support the growth of ecologically and …

Cold seeps and hydrothermal vents are seafloor habitats fueled by subsurface energy
sources. Both habitat types coexist in Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California, providing an …
