A new perspective on microbes formerly known as nitrite-oxidizing bacteria
Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) catalyze the second step of nitrification, nitrite oxidation to
nitrate, which is an important process of the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. NOB were …

The growing tree of Archaea: new perspectives on their diversity, evolution and ecology
The Archaea occupy a key position in the Tree of Life, and are a major fraction of microbial
diversity. Abundant in soils, ocean sediments and the water column, they have crucial roles …

Complex archaea that bridge the gap between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
The origin of the eukaryotic cell remains one of the most contentious puzzles in modern
biology. Recent studies have provided support for the emergence of the eukaryotic host cell …

Genomic exploration of the diversity, ecology, and evolution of the archaeal domain of life
BACKGROUND Archaea have been recognized as a major domain of life besides Bacteria
and Eukarya for about 40 years. Much of the pioneering research on archaeal organisms …

Community genomic analyses constrain the distribution of metabolic traits across the Chloroflexi phylum and indicate roles in sediment carbon cycling
Background Sediments are massive reservoirs of carbon compounds and host a large
fraction of microbial life. Microorganisms within terrestrial aquifer sediments control buried …

Genomic and enzymatic evidence for acetogenesis among multiple lineages of the archaeal phylum Bathyarchaeota widespread in marine sediments
Members of the archaeal phylum Bathyarchaeota are widespread and abundant in the
energy-deficient marine subsurface sediments. However, their life strategies have remained …
