Despite broad scientific interest in harnessing the power of Earth's microbiomes, knowledge
gaps hinder their efficient use for addressing urgent societal and environmental challenges …

Fungi are phylogenetically and functionally diverse ubiquitous components of almost all
ecosystems on Earth, including aquatic environments stretching from high montane lakes …

Microbially driven anaerobic digestion (AD) processes are of immense interest due to their
role in the biovalorization of biowastes into renewable energy resources. The function …

The dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) process was known as a short
circuit in nitrogen cycle, a key step in recovering nitrogen from nitrate wastewater, and has …

Microbiome research has grown rapidly over the past decade, with a proliferation of new
methods that seek to make sense of large, complex data sets. Here, we survey two of the …

The rumen is a complex ecosystem composed of anaerobic bacteria, protozoa, fungi,
methanogenic archaea and phages. These microbes interact closely to breakdown plant …

Partial-nitritation anammox (PNA) is a novel wastewater treatment procedure for energy-
efficient ammonium removal. Here we use genome-resolved metagenomics to build a …

The mutual nutritional cooperation underpinning syntrophic propionate degradation
provides a scant amount of energy for the microorganisms involved, so propionate …

Anaerobic degradation of protein-rich materials has high methane potential and produces
nutrient-rich residue, but requires strategies to avoid ammonia inhibition. A well-adapted …

The ecophysiology of one candidate methanogen class WSA2 (or Arc I) remains largely
uncharacterized, despite the long history of research on Euryarchaeota methanogenesis. To …
