Metagenomic analysis shows the presence of bacteria related to free-living forms of sulfur-Oxidizing Chemolithoautotrophic Symbionts in the rhizosphere of the seagrass Zostera marina [PDF]
Seagrasses play an important role as ecosystem engineers; they provide shelter to many animals and improve water quality by filtering out nutrients and by controlling pathogens.

Genome sequence of the organohalide-respiring Dehalogenimonas alkenigignens type strain (IP3-3(T)) [PDF]
Dehalogenimonas alkenigignens IP3-3(T) is a strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, Gram negative staining bacterium that grows by organohalide respiration, coupling the oxidation of H-2 to the reductive dehalogenation of polychlorinated alkanes.

Evolution of Phototrophy in the Chloroflexi Phylum Driven by Horizontal Gene Transfer [PDF]
The evolutionary mechanisms behind the extant distribution of photosynthesis is a point of substantial contention. Hypotheses range from the presence of phototrophy in the last universal common ancestor and massive gene loss in most lineages, to a later ...

Six obligately anaerobic bacterial isolates (195T, CBDB1, BAV1, VS, FL2 and GT) with strictly organohalide-respiring metabolisms were obtained from chlorinated solvent-contaminated aquifers, contaminated and uncontaminated river sediments or anoxic digester sludge. Cells were non-motile with a disc-shaped morphology, 0.3–1 µm in diameter and 0.1–0.2 µm

Exploring the Abundance, Metabolic Potential, and Gene Expression of Subseafloor Chloroflexi in Million-year-old Oxic and Anoxic Abyssal Clay [PDF]
Chloroflexi are widespread in subsurface environments, and recent studies indicate that they represent a major fraction of the communities in subseafloor sediment.
