Microbial Considerations for the Permanent Geological Storage of CO2

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
The impacts of microbiology on the storage of CO2 are poorly understood but could be critical to its safe geological disposal. We review evidence for microbial risks and opportunities, and argue for a holistic biogeochemical approach to monitoring, managing and potentially harnessing microbial activity in geological storage operations.

Evaluating the Evolutionary Origins of Unexpected Character Distributions within the Bacterial Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae Superphylum [PDF]

, 2012
Recently, several characters that are absent from most bacteria, but which are found in many eukaryotes or archaea, have been identified within the bacterial Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum.

Comparative genomics in acid mine drainage biofilm communities reveals metabolic and structural differentiation of co-occurring archaea [PDF]

, 2016
Background Metal sulfide mineral dissolution during bioleaching and acid mine drainage (AMD) formation creates an environment that is inhospitable to most life. Despite dominance by a small number of bacteria, AMD microbial biofilm communities contain a

Improving formaldehyde consumption drives methanol assimilation in engineered E. coli [PDF]

, 2018
Due to volatile sugar prices, the food vs fuel debate, and recent increases in the supply of natural gas, methanol has emerged as a promising feedstock for the bio-based economy.

Changes in Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Composition and Functional Groups During the Artificial Restoration of Degraded Grassland of “Black‐Soil Mountain”

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
The formation of degraded grassland in black‐soil mountain has attracted the attention of many scholars, and the establishment of artificial grassland is the most effective way to control the extremely degraded alpine meadow—“black‐soil mountain.” In order to better understand the response of degraded grassland to artificial restoration measures, we ...

Laboratory divergence of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 through unintended domestication and past selection for antibiotic resistance [PDF]

, 2014
Background: A common assumption of microorganisms is that laboratory stocks will remain genetically and phenotypically constant over time, and across laboratories.

Seasonal dynamics in microbial trace metals transporters during phytoplankton blooms in the Southern Ocean

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2024.
Prokaryotic transporter genes for the metals manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) revealed distinct seasonal patterns in the Southern Ocean, and the seasonal dynamics of the contribution of prokaryotic groups to trace metal transporters suggested different capabilities to acquire these ...

COMPOSITION OF CULTIVATABLE METHYLOTROPHIC COMMUNITIES THROUGH A SOIL DEPTH PROFILE [PDF]

, 2016
Methylotrophy is the ability of microorganisms to utilize single carbon compounds such as methanol (CH3OH), the second most abundant organic compound in the atmosphere.

Distinct microbial communities supported by iron oxidation

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2024.
This study addresses the diversity and community composition of simple prokaryotic communities growing as microbial biostalactites or streamers at iron seepages in abandoned mines. We analysed 85 communities within a pH range of 2.4–6.6 and found that a pH of 3.2 is a critical point where community composition and diversity change discretely.

Controls on Stable Methane Isotope Values in Northern Peatlands and Potential Shifts in Values Under Permafrost Thaw Scenarios

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 129, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Northern peatlands are a globally significant source of methane (CH4), and emissions are projected to increase due to warming and permafrost loss. Understanding the microbial mechanisms behind patterns in CH4 production in peatlands will be key to predicting annual emissions changes, with stable carbon isotopes (δ13C‐CH4) being a powerful tool
