Microbial activities drive the global nitrogen cycle, and in the past few years, our
understanding of nitrogen cycling processes and the micro-organisms that mediate them …

The pelagic realm of the dark ocean represents a key site for remineralization of organic
matter and long‐term carbon storage and burial in the biosphere. It contains the largest pool …

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are now implicated in exerting significant control over the
form and availability of reactive nitrogen species in marine environments. Detailed studies of …

Spatial heterogeneity in physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils allows for the
proliferation of diverse microbial communities. Factors influencing the structuring of …

Active expression of putative ammonia monooxygenase gene subunit A (amoA) of marine
group I Crenarchaeota has been detected in the Black Sea water column. It reached its …

Nitrification is a microbially mediated process that plays a central role in the global cycling of
nitrogen and is also of economic importance in agriculture and wastewater treatment. The …

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

Despite the high abundance of Archaea in the global ocean, their metabolism and
biogeochemical roles remain largely unresolved. We investigated the population dynamics …

Microbes mediate global biogeochemical cycles through their metabolism, and all metabolic
processes begin with the interaction between the microbial cell wall or membrane and the …

The oceanic waters below a depth of 200 m represent, in terms of volume, the largest habitat
of the biosphere, harboring approximately 70% of the prokaryotic biomass in the oceanic …
