The anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulfate reduction is a microbially mediated
process requiring a syntrophic partnership between anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) …

Microbial community proteomics, also termed metaproteomics, is an emerging field within
the area of microbiology, which studies the entire protein complement recovered directly …

Wetlands constitute the main natural source of methane on Earth due to their high content of
natural organic matter (NOM), but key drivers, such as electron acceptors, supporting …

Nitrogen, sulfur and carbon fluxes in the terrestrial subsurface are determined by the
intersecting activities of microbial community members, yet the organisms responsible are …

Trace metals have been an important ingredient for life throughout Earth's history. Here, we
describe the genome-guided cultivation of a member of the elusive archaeal lineage …

Background Soil and sediment microorganisms are highly phylogenetically diverse but are
currently largely under-represented in public molecular databases. Their functional …

The production of methylmercury by some bacteria is a key first step in the accumulation and
biomagnification of this toxic substance in aquatic food webs, a major human health …

Understanding the interaction between heavy metals and soil microbiomes is essential for
maintaining ecosystem health and functionality in the face of persistent human-induced …

Metal coordination with proteinaceous ligands has greatly expanded the chemical toolbox of
proteins and their biological roles. The structure and function of natural metalloproteins have …
