Communications Biology - Two coinfecting archaeal viruses provide insights into virus-virus interactions

Acetate is a central intermediate in the anaerobic breakdown of organic matter. In Baltic Sea sediments at and below the sulfate–methane transition zone, we observed acetate oxidation to carbon dioxid...

Acetate produced by methanogens from captured methane and carbon dioxide can be converted efficiently to ethanol, demonstrated by lab experiments on the engineered methanogen Methanosarcina acetivoran...

New discovery: Previously unknown microorganisms use naturally occurring conductive particles to produce methane in coastal sediments. This overlooked mechanism may help explain new ways how greenhouse gases form beneath the seafloor.

New discovery: Previously unknown microorganisms use naturally occurring conductive particles to produce methane in coastal sediments. This overlooked mechanism may help explain new ways how greenhouse gases form beneath the seafloor.

Microorganisms have historically been classified as obligate aerobes or anaerobes, facultative anaerobes, or microaerophiles, reflecting differences i…

Deep below the surface in coastal sediments, microorganisms use conductive particles as tiny natural "wires" to exchange electrons.

In this study, the authors provide a genomic blueprint for a conductive particle-dependent environmental consortium from coastal sediments and use long-read metagenomics to show how syntrophic partner...

Names matter; they are not mere labels. They operate as anchors of memory, social coordinates, and references of collective identity. When a name becomes established through long-term use and broad ad...

Microflora Danica—an atlas of Danish environmental microbiomes—reveals that although human-disturbed habitats have high alpha diversity, species reoccur, revealing hidden homogeneity.

About EMBL-EBI EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute is a data powerhouse, utilised on a global scale to advance scientific discovery through bioinformatics and solutions to some of the world’s mos...
