Unveiling plasmid diversity and functionality in pristine groundwater

Environmental Microbiome
Background Plasmids are key in creating a dynamic reservoir of genetic diversity, yet their impact on Earth’s continental subsurface—an important microbial reservoir—remains unresolved. We analyzed 32 metagenomic samples from six groundwater wells within

Iron oxide and calcite associated with Leptothrix sp. biofilms within an estavelle in the upper Floridan aquifer

International Journal of Speleology, 2011
In Thornton’s Cave, an estavelle in west-central Florida, SEM, EDS, and XRD data reveal biofilms that are predominantly comprisedof FeOOH-encrusted hollow sheaths that are overgrown and intercalated with calcite.

Combined Genomic and Imaging Techniques Show Intense Arsenic Enrichment Caused by Detoxification in a Microbial Mat of the Dead Sea Shore

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Microbial mats and microbialites are essential tools for reconstructing early life and its environments. To better understand microbial trace element cycling, a microbial mat was collected from the sinkhole systems of the western shores of the Dead Sea ...

Recent origin of iron oxidation in extant microbial groups and low clade fidelity of iron metabolisms

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Reduced iron was abundant in Earth’s surface environments before their oxygenation, so iron oxidation could have been a common metabolism on the early Earth.

Microbial metabolism amplified warming in three Phanerozoic hyperthermal events

Nature Communications
The ocean’s biological carbon pump (BCP) plays a crucial role in climate regulation by facilitating long-term removal of atmospheric CO2. However, BCP changes during past hyperthermals remain poorly understood.
