Methane, a potent greenhouse gas of global importance, has traditionally been considered
as an end product of microbial methanogenesis of organic matter. Paradoxically, growing …

Freshwater bacterioplankton assemblages are composed of sympatric populations that can
be delineated, for example, by ribosomal RNA gene relatedness and that differ in key …

Oxic lake surface waters are frequently oversaturated with methane (CH4). The contribution
to the global CH4 cycle is significant, thus leading to an increasing number of studies and …

Freshwater lakes emit large amounts of methane, some of which is produced in oxic surface
waters. Two potential pathways for aerobic methane production exist: methanogenesis in …

Methane (CH 4) emissions from reservoirs are responsible for most of the atmospheric
climatic forcing of these aquatic ecosystems, comparable to emissions from paddies or …

Organophosphonate (Pn) catabolism constitutes the major source of inorganic phosphate
(Pi), which is essential for the synthesis of genetic and cellular components. Unlike various …

As a finite and non‐renewable resource, phosphorus (P) is essential to all life and crucial for
crop growth and food production. The boosted agricultural use and associated loss of P to …

Aerosol phase elements such as phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and metals including iron (Fe)
are essential nutrients that could help sustain potential biodiversity in the cloud deck of …

Soil microbes can be limited by phosphorus availability. A significant proportion of cellular P
is accounted for by the phospholipids that comprise membranes. Experiments with aquatic …

Most marine bacteria can form biofilms, and they are the main components of biofilms
observed on marine surfaces. Biofilms constitute a widespread life strategy, as growing in …
