Scientific Data - Global compilation of in situ particulate organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus concentrations in coastal and open ocean waters

In this Review, Karwautz and Griebler examine the microbial communities found in shallow groundwater and aquifers, exploring their diversity, functional roles and dynamic interactions with adjacent te...

Proviruses are widespread components of prokaryotic genomes, yet their characterization is impeded by border identification errors. We developed ProBord (Provirus Border Delimiter), a tool achieving s...

Oceanic particle size distributions (PSDs) link plankton community structure to biogeochemical cycling. Although the influence of community composition on size spectra is well recognized in theoretic...

Anoxic live-cell imaging shows actin-dependent crawling motility and dynamic protrusions in Asgard archaea, providing insights into cellular innovations that may have contributed to eukaryotic evoluti...

Productivity increases lake methane oxidation (MOX) due to methanotrophs attachment to phytoplankton. Oxic methane production represents a small fraction of MOX, so its increase with eutrophication wi...

In this study, the authors show that the marine bacterium Alteromonas macleodii exploits the diatom Thalassiosira rotula by triggering programmed necrosis-like cell death. By forcing cells out of thei...

The high stability of enteric viruses in freshwater increases their risk of waterborne transmission. In aquatic environments, bacteria are known to enhance viral removal and inactivation. However, the...

ArmA from Methanobrevibacter smithii, a dominant member of the human gut microbiome, is identified and characterized as a glycosyl hydrolase specific for cleaving the cell wall of methanogens, reveali...

The concurrent intensification of hypoxia and acidification poses a growing threat to estuarine-coastal ecosystems globally, yet their interactive impacts on nitrification, a key process in the nitrog...
