Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are widespread, motile, diverse prokaryotes that biomineralize
a unique organelle called the magnetosome. Magnetosomes consist of a nano-sized crystal …

Soil bacteria provide a large range of ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling. Despite
their important role in soil systems, compositional and functional responses of bacterial …

Here we describe the application of a new click chemistry method for fluorescent tracking of
protein synthesis in individual microorganisms within environmental samples. This …

During the last few years, the analysis of microbial diversity in various habitats greatly
increased our knowledge on the kingdom Archaea. At the same time, we became aware of …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize intracellular magnetic nanocrystals and swim
along geomagnetic field lines. While few axenic MTB cultures exist, living cells can be …

Phylogenetically diverse environmental ANME archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria
cooperatively catalyze the anaerobic oxidation of methane oxidation (AOM) in multicelled …

Wetland plants create partly aerobic conditions in the rhizosphere by releasing oxygen to
the waterlogged substrate. The present study was conducted to characterise the …

Marine methane seep habitats represent an important control on the global flux of methane.
Nucleotide-based meta-omics studies outline community-wide metabolic potential, but …

Some Alphaproteobacteria contain intracytoplasmic membranes (ICMs) and proteins
homologous to those responsible for the mitochondrial cristae, an observation which has …

Methyl‐Coenzyme M reductase (MCR) as key enzyme for methanogenesis as well as for
anaerobic oxidation of methane represents an important metabolic marker for both …
