Distinct methane-dependent biogeochemical states in Arctic seafloor gas hydrate mounds
Nature Communications, 2021 Archaea in marine sediment control the transfer of methane to the ocean, but microbial dynamics in these environments are poorly understood. Here the authors investigate marine sediments in the high Arctic, showing how methane influx quickly increases ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids that are widely used in terrestrial paleoclimatic reconstructions. Recent studies have reported that brGDGTs can also be produced by marine bacteria.

Changes in microbial (Bacteria and Archaea) plankton community structure after artificial dispersal in grazer-free microcosms [PDF]
, 2017 Microbes are considered to have a global distribution due to their high dispersal capabilities. However, our knowledge of the way geographically distant microbial communities assemble after dispersal in a new environment is limited.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Estuarine Nitrifiers: New Players, Patterns and Processes [PDF]
, 2010 Ever since the first descriptions of ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria by Winogradsky in the late 1800s, the metabolic capability of aerobic ammonia oxidation has been restricted to a phylogenetically narrow group of bacteria.

Archaeal diversity in deep-sea sediments estimated by means of different Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (T-RFLP) protocols [PDF]
, 2009 Despite the increasing recognition of the quantitative importance of Archaea in all marine systems, the protocols for a rapid estimate of Archaeal diversity patterns in deep-sea sediments have been only poorly tested yet.

Role for urea in nitrification by polar marine Archaea [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Despite the high abundance of Archaea in the global ocean, their metabolism and biogeochemical roles remain largely unresolved. We investigated the population dynamics and metabolic activity ofThaumarchaeotain polar environments, where these microorganisms are particularly abundant and exhibit seasonal growth.Thaumarchaeotawere more abundant in deep ...
