Paleoproterozic Icehouses and the Evolution of Oxygen Mediating Enzymes: The Case for a Late Origin of Photosystem -- II [PDF]
Two major geological problems regarding the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis are: (1) identifying a source of oxygen predating biological oxygen production and capable of driving the evolution of oxygen tolerance, and (2) determining when oxygenic ...

A mangrove‐derived electrogenic microbial consortium was successfully acclimated to codegrade ethylbenzene and xylenes in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Acclimation provided high degradation efficiencies (up to 97%) and improved energy recovery. The MFC reached voltage of 520 mV and power density of 63.4 mW m−2.

Anomalous negative excursion of carbon isotope in organic carbon after the last Paleoproterozoic glaciation in North America [PDF]
Early Paleoproterozoic time (2.5–2.0 Ga) spanned a critical phase in Earth's history, characterized by repeated glaciations and an increase in atmospheric oxygen (the Great Oxidation Event (GOE)).

GLP‐1 agonists and the gut microbiome: A bidirectional relationship
Abstract Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists have transformed the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, yet their interactions with the gut microbiome remain an emerging frontier in pharmacological and metabolic research.

Estuarine Nitrifiers: New Players, Patterns and Processes [PDF]
Ever since the first descriptions of ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria by Winogradsky in the late 1800s, the metabolic capability of aerobic ammonia oxidation has been restricted to a phylogenetically narrow group of bacteria.

Impact of conductive magnetite nanoparticles and anode polarization on glucose fermentation
Abstract BACKGROUND Electrically conductive materials and electrochemical stimulation strategies are increasingly explored to steer microbial fermentation towards desired metabolic outputs. These approaches also hold remarkable potential to couple wastewater treatment (WWT) to the production of value‐added compounds, in turn enhancing environmental ...

A giant Arctic subsea permafrost reservoir of methane (CH4) in different forms (hydrates, free gas) is leaking, likely at an increasing rate under climate warming. This is causing a massive CH4 release from sediments into the water column and atmosphere.
