Time-shifted expression of acetoclastic and methylotrophic methanogenesis by a single Methanosarcina genomospecies predominates the methanogen dynamics in Philippine rice field soil

Microbiome
Background The final step in the anaerobic decomposition of biopolymers is methanogenesis. Rice field soils are a major anthropogenic source of methane, with straw commonly used as a fertilizer in rice farming.

Carboxydotrophic Acetogenesis in Alkaline Conditions Results in Transient Formate Production by the Halo‐Alkaliphilic Acetogen Haloacetibacter carboxydivorans Gen. Nov. sp. Nov

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This work presents the physiological exploration of the halo‐alkaliphilic, carboxydotrophic acetogen bacterium MD4. In contrast to well‐characterised neutrophilic and slightly acidophilic acetogenic carboxydotrophs, this work shows an important role for formate production, instead of ethanol, as a redox exhaust mechanism in alkaline conditions ...

Unraveling the depth-dependent causal dynamics of methanogenesis and methanotrophy in a high-latitude fen peatland

Environmental Research Letters
The dynamics of methane (CH _4 ) cycling in high-latitude peatlands through different pathways of methanogenesis and methanotrophy are still poorly understood due to the spatiotemporal complexity of microbial activities and biogeochemical processes ...

Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...

CO in methanogenesis

Annals of Microbiology, 2010
Although CO is present in methanogenic environments, an understanding of CO metabolism by methanogens has lagged behind other methanogenic substrates and investigations of CO metabolism in non-methanogenic species. This review features studies on the metabolism of CO by methanogens from 1931 to the present.

Fruit function beyond dispersal: effect of fruit decomposition on the plant microbiome assembly

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1442-1455, February 2026.
Summary The evolutionary role of fruits has primarily been linked to seed dispersal. However, their influence on the soil and plant microbiomes subsequent to their decomposition has received no attention. We hypothesized that fruit decomposition alters the soil microbiome, and consequently the plant microbiome and performance.

Tropicalization Enhances Mangrove Methane Emissions to the Atmosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Organic‐rich mangrove soils release CH4, partially offsetting the climate benefits of high organic carbon sequestration. However, the local and global drivers and variability of mangrove CH4 emissions remain poorly understood. Here, we quantify water‐atmosphere CH4 emissions over hourly, daily, and weekly time scales in an Australian mangrove ...

Methanomethylovorans are the dominant dimethylsulfide-degrading methanogens in gravel and sandy river sediment microcosms

Environmental Microbiome
Background Rivers and streams are important components of the global carbon cycle and methane budget. However, our understanding of the microbial diversity and the metabolic pathways underpinning methylotrophic methane production in river sediments is ...

Transcriptional response of Methanosarcina acetivorans to repression of the energy-conserving methanophenazine: CoM-CoB heterodisulfide reductase enzyme HdrED

Microbiology Spectrum
Methane-producing archaea are key organisms in the anaerobic carbon cycle. These organisms, also called methanogens, grow by converting substrate to methane gas in a process called methanogenesis.
