A standardized bacterial taxonomy based on genome phylogeny substantially revises the tree of life
Taxonomy is an organizing principle of biology and is ideally based on evolutionary
relationships among organisms. Development of a robust bacterial taxonomy has been …

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 …

N2 production rates limited by nitrite availability in the Bay of Bengal oxygen minimum zone
A third or more of the fixed nitrogen lost from the oceans as N2 is removed by anaerobic
microbial processes in open ocean oxygen minimum zones. These zones have expanded …

Molecular diversity and ecology of microbial plankton
SJ Giovannoni, U Stingl - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
The history of microbial evolution in the oceans is probably as old as the history of life itself.
In contrast to terrestrial ecosystems, microorganisms are the main form of biomass in the …

Mesopelagic zone ecology and biogeochemistry–a synthesis
The mesopelagic zone is the oceanic region through which carbon and other elements must
pass in order to reach deeper waters or the sea floor. However, the food web interactions …
