Isolation and characterization of a novel methanogen Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. from subsurface Boom Clay pore water

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2024.
We isolated a novel methanogenic archaeon, Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. (TD41E1‐1), from Boom Clay pore water at a depth of 225 m. It exhibits unique characteristics compared to previously characterized Methanosarcina species, such as the inability to perform acetoclastic methanogenesis and the presence of extensive surface appendages.

Production and utilization of pseudocobalamin in marine Synechococcus cultures and communities

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2024.
Pseudocobalamin levels in cultured Synechococcus cells are influenced by culture methods and growth conditions but remain consistently around 300 molecules per cell in environmental samples. The amount of pseudocobalamin in cells appears to be loosely coupled to the demand for pseudocobalamin by the enzyme methionine synthase (MetH).
