A new purple sulfur bacterium from saline littoral sediments, Thiorhodotvibrio winogradskyi gen. nov. and sp. nov. [PDF]
Two strains of a new purple sulfur bacterium were isolated in pure culture from the littoral sediment of a saline lake (Mahoney Lake, Canada) and a marine microbial mat from the North Sea island of Mellum, respectively.

Diverse microbial communities hosted by the model carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea: analysis of both bacterial and eukaryotic composition across distinct host plant populations [PDF]
Background The pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea supplements nutrient acquisition through carnivory, capturing insect prey which are digested by a food web community of eukaryotes and bacteria.

A Seasonal Record of Bacterial Communities in Micritized Carbonate Sediments of the Eastern Red Sea
Evidence of intense micritization is observed throughout Al Kharrar lagoon sediments (0–80 cm). Diverse bacterial communities with putative roles in carbonate cycling display depth‐related shifts. Their stable seasonal presence suggests sustained micritization beyond the photic zone, refining our understanding of the potential role of bacteria in early
