Background Rubisco is among the most abundant enzymes on Earth and is a critical conduit for inorganic carbon into the biosphere. Despite this, the full extent of rubisco diversity and the biology of ...

Open Data is the movement to make research datasets open, thereby enabling the sharing, reuse, and transparency of research findings. Similar to the Open Access movement for articles, Open Data is cri...

Abstract. Marine hydrocarbon seeps typically harbor a relatively predictable microbiome, including anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea. Here, we sampled two cold seeps in Monterey Bay, CA – Clam F...

A massively parallel assay developed to map the essential photosynthetic enzyme rubisco showed that non-trivial biochemical changes and improvements in CO2 affinity are possible, signposting further e...

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea are the most abundant chemolithoautotrophs in the ocean, comprising up to 40% of microbial cells in deep waters, and are assumed to dominate dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) ...

In this Review, Zhou, Tran et al. provide a comprehensive overview of the metabolic reactions by which microorganisms transform inorganic sulfur compounds across varied microbiomes and ecosystems, and...

This review explores the history of microbiology and contemplates the future of this evolving discipline as microbiologists embrace rapidly emerging technologies to explore systems of great complexity...

The symbiont Ca. Nanohaloarchaeum antarcticus is dependent on its host Halorubrum lacusprofundi for lipids due to a lack of certain biosynthetic genes. Here, the authors characterize the lipidome dyna...
