Evolution in action: Habitat-transition leads to genome-streamlining in Methylophilaceae (Betaproteobacteriales) [PDF]
AbstractThe most abundant aquatic microbes are small in cell and genome size. Genome-streamlining theory predicts gene loss caused by evolutionary selection driven by environmental factors, favouring superior competitors for limiting resources. However, evolutionary histories of such abundant, genome-streamlined microbes remain largely unknown. Here we

Bacteriome composition analysis of selected mineral water occurrences in Serbia [PDF]
Bacterial metabarcoding analysis by 16S rDNA of five occurrences of mineral waters in Serbia (Torda, Slankamen Banja, Lomnički Kiseljak, Velika Vrbnica and Obrenovačka Banja) indicated the presence of a high percentage of the Proteobacteria phylum ...

Genome-resolved metagenomics identifies novel active microbes in biogeochemical cycling within methanol-enriched soil. [PDF]
Ensemble binning of environmental metagenomes significantly improves the analysis of complex datasets. A re‐analysis of metagenomes, derived from labelled DNA extracted from 13C methanol‐enriched rhizosphere soils, yielded a substantial number of metagenome‐assembled genomes.

The redox balance of inorganic sulfur in heavily polluted rivers might be disrupted, making sulfur reduction a major metabolic pathway of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), leading to a massive accumulation of S2− and blackening the water bodies.

Bottom sediments at methane discharge sites of the Laptev Sea shelf were investigated. The rates of microbial methanogenesis and methane oxidation were measured, and the communities responsible for these processes were analyzed.

Oxygen availability is a major factor in determining the composition of microbial communities involved in methane oxidation [PDF]
We have previously observed that methane supplied to lake sediment microbial communities as a substrate not only causes a response by bona fide methanotrophic bacteria, but also by non-methane-oxidizing bacteria, especially by members of the family ...

Methylotenera mobilis gen. nov., sp. nov., an obligately methylamine-utilizing bacterium within the family Methylophilaceae [PDF]
A novel obligate methylamine utilizer (strain JLW8T), isolated from Lake Washington sediment, was characterized taxonomically. The isolate was an aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium. Cells were rod-shaped and motile by means of a single flagellum. Reproduction was by binary fission and no resting bodies were formed.

Metagenomic Insight into Environmentally Challenged Methane-Fed Microbial Communities
In this study, we aimed to investigate, through high-resolution metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, the composition and the trajectories of microbial communities originating from a natural sample, fed exclusively with methane, over 14 weeks of ...
