Major insights into the phylogenetic distribution, biochemistry, and evolutionary significance
of organelles involved in ATP synthesis (energy metabolism) in eukaryotes that thrive in …

The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

Sequencing of ribosomal DNA clone libraries amplified from environmental DNA has
revolutionized our understanding of microbial eukaryote diversity and ecology. The results of …

Symbioses between nitrogen (N) 2–fixing prokaryotes and photosynthetic eukaryotes are
important for nitrogen acquisition in N-limited environments. Recently, a widely distributed …

The bioavailability of different metals has likely changed over the course of Earth's history.
Based on geochemical models, copper became much more bioavailable with the advent of …

Mycologists have been fascinated with marine fungi for more than 70 years now. An
enormous volume of information on marine fungi is presently available. We can now say …

Fungi are an important and diverse component in various ecosystems. The methods to
identify different fungi are an important step in any mycological study. Classical methods of …

The pelagic realm of the dark ocean represents a key site for remineralization of organic
matter and long‐term carbon storage and burial in the biosphere. It contains the largest pool …

Small cells dominate photosynthetic biomass and primary production in many marine
ecosystems. Traditionally, picoplankton refers to cells≤ 2 μm. Here we extend the size …

There are many more phyla of microbes than of macro–organisms, but microbial biodiversity
is poorly understood because most microbes are uncultured. Phylogenetic analysis of rDNA …
