Planctomycetes are ubiquitous, environmentally and biotechnologically important bacteria
that are key players in global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Ever since their first discovery in …

Sulfate/sulfite-reducing microorganisms (SRM) are ubiquitous in nature, driving the global
sulfur cycle. A hallmark of SRM is the dissimilatory sulfite reductase encoded by the genes …

Ecological theory suggests that habitat disturbance differentially influences distributions of
habitat generalist and specialist species. While well-established for macroorganisms, this …

The degradation of synthetic polymers by marine microorganisms is not as well understood
as the degradation of plastics in soil and compost. Here, we use metagenomics …

Sulfate-reducing microorganisms represent a globally important link between the sulfur and
carbon cycles. Recent metagenomic surveys expanded the diversity of microorganisms …

Members of the bacterial genus Sulfurimonas (phylum Campylobacterota) dominate
microbial communities in marine redoxclines and are important for sulfur and nitrogen …

The microbial community composition and biogeochemical dynamics of coastal permeable
(sand) sediments differs from cohesive (mud) sediments. Tide-and wave-driven …

Microorganisms in coastal sediments are fundamental for ecosystem functioning, and
regulate processes relevant in global biogeochemical cycles. Still, our understanding of the …

Acidobacteriota are widespread and often abundant in marine sediments, yet their metabolic
and ecological properties are poorly understood. Here, we examined metabolisms and …

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont functioning, but much remains to be understood
about how prevailing environment and host genotype affect microbial communities in …
