Biogeochemical cycling of iron is crucial to many environmental processes, such as ocean
productivity, carbon storage, greenhouse gas emissions and the fate of nutrients, toxic …

Electrons can be transferred from microorganisms to multivalent metal ions that are
associated with minerals and vice versa. As the microbial cell envelope is neither physically …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is critical for controlling the flux of methane from
anoxic environments. AOM coupled to iron, manganese and sulphate reduction have been …

Methane is a key compound in the global carbon cycle that influences both nutrient cycling
and the Earth's climate. A limited number of microorganisms control the flux of biologically …

The recent recovery of genomes for organisms from phyla with no isolated representative
(candidate phyla) via cultivation-independent genomics enabled delineation of major new …

Understanding the dynamics of methane (CH 4) emissions is of paramount importance
because CH 4 has 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and is …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is crucial for controlling the emission of this potent
greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Nitrite-, nitrate-, and sulfate-dependent methane …

Classical definitions of syntrophy focus on a process, performed through metabolic
interaction between dependent microbial partners, such as the degradation of complex …

Multicellular assemblages of microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, and the proximity
afforded by aggregation is thought to permit intercellular metabolic coupling that can …
