Cells from all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya, produce extracellular
vesicles (EVs) which are sometimes associated with filamentous structures known as …

Micro-organisms contribute to Earth's mineral deposits through a process known as bacteria-
induced mineral precipitation (BIMP). It is a complex phenomenon that can occur as a result …

For typical copper producing provinces of Heilongjiang, Henan, Inner Mongolia, Jiangxi,
Shandong, Tibet, and Yunnan in China, 90% of sampling sites were heavily polluted with …

The effective and cheap remediation of ammonia (NH+ 4) and multiple heavy metals from
landfill leachate is currently a grand challenge. In this study, Paracoccus denitrificans AC-3 …

The genus Streptomyces produces secondary metabolic compounds that are rich in
biological activity. Many of these compounds are genetically encoded by large secondary …

Marine sponges host a wide diversity of microorganisms, which have versatile modes of
carbon and energy metabolism. In this study we describe the major lithoheterotrophic and …

Coprecipitation of selenium oxyanions with barite is a facile way to sequester Se in the
environments. However, the chemical composition of Se-barite coprecipitates usually …

Sr-bearing marine barite [(Ba x, Sr1− x) SO4] cycling has been widely used to reconstruct
geochemical evolutions of paleoenvironments. However, an understanding of barite …

Marine sponges are early-branching, filter-feeding metazoans that usually host complex
microbiomes comprised of several, currently uncultivatable symbiotic lineages. Here, we use …

Covering: up to 2018 Symbiotic microbes interact with animals, often by producing natural
products (specialized metabolites; secondary metabolites) that exert a biological role. A …
