DNA‐ and RNA‐based microbial community diversity and composition in a deep agricultural subsurface environment

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Analysis of microbial community compositions in subsurface environments is essential because microbes significantly influence biogeochemical processes, including carbon storage, nutrient cycling, and groundwater quality. Many previous studies have relied on DNA‐based methods, which provide a robust taxonomic identification but can also ...

Impact of Fire and Heat Stress on Soil Microorganisms: A Review of Community Changes, Molecular Responses and Plant‐Beneficial Roles

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

A relay race of ESCRT-III paralogs drives cell division in a hyperthermophilic archaeon

mBio
Cell division is a fundamental process ensuring the perpetuation of all cellular life forms. Archaea of the order Sulfolobales divide using a simpler version of the eukaryotic endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) machinery, composed

Prokaryotic diversity and biogeochemical characteristics of benthic microbial ecosystems at La Brava, a hypersaline lake at Salar de Atacama, Chile.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Benthic microbial ecosystems of Laguna La Brava, Salar de Atacama, a high altitude hypersaline lake, were characterized in terms of bacterial and archaeal diversity, biogeochemistry, (including O2 and sulfide depth profiles and mineralogy), and ...

Rhizosphere Microbiome as an Underexplored Resource for Agroecosystem Sustainability: Insights From the Carrot Root Zone

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
The diagram represents the generalised pathways for the ecological activities mediated by the rhizosphere microbiome within crop‐soil interactions, based on existing literature. The conceptual pathways are adapted for the carrot root‐zone context described in this review. These activities include the transformation of organic matter, promotion of plant

The Elusive Boreal Forest Thaumarchaeota

Agronomy, 2016
In recent years, Archaea have, with increasing frequency, been found to colonize both agricultural and forest soils in temperate and boreal regions. The as yet uncultured group I.1c of the Thaumarchaeota has been of special interest.

The Lrs14‐Like AbfR1 Homolog From Metallosphaera sedula Is a Nucleoid‐Organizing Protein

MicrobiologyOpen
Nucleoid organization in Crenarchaeota is mediated by a plethora of diverse families of small DNA‐binding proteins. However, the role of the Lrs14 family, a prevalent family of small DNA‐binding proteins within the Crenarchaeal order of the Sulfolobales,

The complete genome sequence of Staphylothermus marinus reveals differences in sulfur metabolism among heterotrophic Crenarchaeota

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Staphylothermus marinus is an anaerobic, sulfur-reducing peptide fermenter of the archaeal phylum Crenarchaeota. It is the third heterotrophic, obligate sulfur reducing crenarchaeote to be sequenced and provides an opportunity for comparative ...

The effects of various land reclamation scenarios on the succession of soil Bacteria, Archaea, and fungi over the short and long term

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Ecological restoration of mining areas has mainly focused on the succession dynamics of vegetation and the fate of microbial communities remains poorly understood.
