▪ Abstract Since the delineation of 12 bacterial phyla by comparative phylogenetic analyses
of 16S ribosomal RNA in 1987 knowledge of microbial diversity has expanded dramatically …

The history of microbial evolution in the oceans is probably as old as the history of life itself.
In contrast to terrestrial ecosystems, microorganisms are the main form of biomass in the …

Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human
activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, and …

High-solids anaerobic digestion (HSAD), a promising method with smaller reactor and less
heating energy consumption, showed relatively lower digestion efficiency sometimes and …

Methanogenic archaea are major players in the global carbon cycle and in the
biotechnology of anaerobic digestion. The phylum Euryarchaeota includes diverse groups of …

TEX 86 is an important proxy for constraining ocean temperatures in the Earth's past.
Current calibrations, however, feature structured residuals indicative of a spatially-varying …

The TEX86 proxy, based on the distribution of marine isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol
tetraether lipids (GDGTs), is increasingly used to reconstruct sea surface temperature (SST) …

Previous investigations of the salinity effects on the microbial community composition have
largely been limited to dynamic estuaries and coastal solar salterns. In this study, the effects …

Summary The Red Sea harbours approximately 25 deep‐sea anoxic brine pools. They
constitute extremely unique and complex habitats with the conjugation of several extreme …

Studies focusing on biofilm assembly in deep-sea environments are rarely conducted. To
examine the effects of substrate type on microbial community assembly, biofilms were …
