Persistence of bioconvection‐induced mixed layers in a stratified lake
Abstract In situ observations of biophysical interactions in natural waters typically focus on physical mechanisms influencing biological activity. Yet, biological activity can also drive physical processes in aquatic environments. A community of photoautotrophic, motile and heavy bacteria—Chromatium okenii, which requires light, sulfide, and anoxic ...

Nibalamin (Nibl), the novel NiII analogue of vitamin B12, was synthesized from the metal‐free B12 ligand hydrogenobalamin, prepared from biosynthetic hydrogenobyric acid (Hby). An X‐ray crystal analysis of nibyric acid, the NiII complex of Hby, revealed the first structural details of a nickel complex of a natural corrin ligand.

Influence of environmental factors on growth and pigment synthesis by purple thiobacteria
The influence of different environmental factors on growth and pigment biosynthesis by particular strains of purple thiobacteria was investigated. These strains belong to the genus Chromatium, Thiocystis, Thiocapsa and Lamprocystis and were isolated from

The Amino Acid Sequence of Chromatium Ferredoxin
The amino acid sequence of Chromatium ferredoxin was determined by studies of thermolysin peptides of S-carboxymethylcysteinylferredoxin and chymotryptic peptides of oxidized ferredoxin. The 81 amino acid residues in the molecule have the following sequence: Ala-Leu-Met-Ile-Thr-Asp-Gln-Cys-Ile-Asn-Cys-Asn-Val-Cys-Gln-Pro-Glu-Cys-Pro-Asn-Gly-Ala-Ile-Ser-

Photosynthetic primary production in the Mesoproterozoic
Summary The Mesoproterozoic atmosphere had more CO2 and less O2 than at present. While the upper ocean was oxygenated, the deeper ocean was euxinic or ferruginous. Primary production was performed by Chlorobia, Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Archaeplastida.

Abstract Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) of the family Chromatiaceae (Gammaproteobacteria) can perform chemo‐ and photo‐lithoautotrophy (through anoxygenic photosynthesis) in anoxic layers of freshwater stratified (including meromictic) lakes. This group has been extensively studied via physiological and ecological approaches, albeit their genomics has ...

Groundwater‐fed underwater sinkholes and springs create habitats with high‐sulfur, low‐oxygen conditions. Multi‐marker metabarcoding was used to describe microbial mat communities in these extreme aquatic habitats. Unique bacterial and diatom communities were found in five springs in Michigan and Florida, with water parameters and biogeography ...
