In recent years, there has been considerable progress in determining the soil properties that
influence the structure of the soil microbiome. By contrast, the effects of microorganisms on …

Sulfur as a macroelement plays an important role in biochemistry in both natural
environments and engineering biosystems, which can be further linked to other important …

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …

Sulfur oxidation is an essential component of the earth's sulfur cycle. Acidithiobacillus spp.
can oxidize various reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs) with high efficiency to …

Sulfur (S) is a crucial component in the environment and living organisms. This work is the
first attempt to provide an overview and critical discussion on the roles, mechanisms, and …

Marine microorganisms play crucial roles in Earth's element cycles through the production
and consumption of organic matter. One of the elements whose fate is governed by …

The geosphere and the microbial biosphere have co-evolved for~ 3.8 Ga, with many lines of
evidence suggesting a hydrothermal habitat for life's origin. However, the extent that …

Cable bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae form centimeter-long filaments comprising
thousands of cells. They occur worldwide in the surface of aquatic sediments, where they …

Most aerobic bacteria exist in dormant states within natural environments. In these states,
they endure adverse environmental conditions such as nutrient starvation by decreasing …

Microorganisms play important roles in the biogeochemical cycling of sulphur (S), an
essential element in the Earth's biosphere. Shotgun metagenome sequencing has opened a …
