Cell-free extracellular enzymatic activity is linked to seasonal temperature changes: a case study in the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Extracellular enzymatic activities (EEAs) are a crucial step in the degradation of organic matter. Dissolved (cell-free) extracellular enzymes in seawater can make up a significant contribution of the bulk EEA.

Directed Evolution of Microbial Communities
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2020 Directed evolution is a form of artificial selection that has been used for decades to find biomolecules and organisms with new or enhanced functional traits. Directed evolution can be conceptualized as a guided exploration of the genotype–phenotype map, where genetic variants with desirable phenotypes are first selected and then mutagenized to search ...

Microbiome, 2017 Background A key characteristic of eutrophication in coastal seas is the expansion of hypoxic bottom waters, often referred to as ‘dead zones’. One proposed remediation strategy for coastal dead zones in the Baltic Sea is to mix the water column using ...

The Fennoscandian Shield deep terrestrial virosphere suggests slow motion ‘boom and burst’ cycles
Communications Biology, 2021 Karin Holmfeldt et al. sequence metagenomes and metatranscriptomes of viruses in deep groundwaters down to 448 m below the surface. The results reveal ecological dynamics of viruses including slow motion ‘boom and burst’ cycles and a ‘kill the winner ...

A phylogenomic approach to microbial evolution [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2001 To study the origin and evolution of biochemical pathways in microorganisms, we have developed methods and software for automatic, large-scale reconstructions of phylogenetic relationships. We define the complete set of phylogenetic trees derived from the proteome of an organism as the phylome and introduce the term phylogenetic connection as a concept

Towards Bioleaching of a Vanadium Containing Magnetite for Metal Recovery
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Vanadium – a transition metal – is found in the ferrous-ferric mineral, magnetite. Vanadium has many industrial applications, such as in the production of high-strength low-alloy steels, and its increasing global industrial consumption requires new ...
