Although there is now an extensive understanding of the diversity of microbial life on earth
through culture-independent metagenomic DNA sequence analyses, the isolation and …

Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction to sulfide is a predominant terminal pathway of
organic matter mineralization in the anoxic seabed. Chemical or microbial oxidation of the …

Methane is one of the most important greenhouse gases on Earth and holds an important
place in the global carbon cycle. Archaea are the only organisms that use methanogenesis …

Methane is a key compound in the global carbon cycle that influences both nutrient cycling
and the Earth's climate. A limited number of microorganisms control the flux of biologically …

Raman microspectroscopy offers microbiologists a rapid and non-destructive technique to
assess the chemical composition of individual live microorganisms in near real time. In this …

Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

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 …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is crucial for controlling the emission of this potent
greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Nitrite-, nitrate-, and sulfate-dependent methane …

Multicellular assemblages of microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, and the proximity
afforded by aggregation is thought to permit intercellular metabolic coupling that can …

Background Mangrove ecosystems are considered as hot spots of biogeochemical cycling,
yet the diversity, function and coupling mechanism of microbially driven biogeochemical …
