Chemoorganoautotrophic lifestyle of the anaerobic enrichment culture N47 growing on naphthalene

Communications Biology
In almost all respiratory organisms, organic substrates are degraded via catabolic processes to the central metabolite acetyl-CoA which is then oxidized to CO2 for energy metabolism or used as a building block for anabolism.

Methanol Metabolism in the Cytochrome and Menaquinone‐Containing Acetogen Moorella thermoacetica

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
The thermophilic acetogenic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica is a promising platform organism to convert C1 compounds to valuable products. Gaseous C1 substrates are technically difficult to use for fermentation in an industrial scale, but methanol, which can be produced chemically from carbon dioxide, is a suitable alternative.

In Vivo Enzyme Catalytic Rates in Formate‐Growing Methanococcus maripaludis

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
In vivo catalytic rates of Methanococcus maripaludis enzymes during C1 carbon source limited growth were determined from metabolic model estimated fluxes and proteomics data. They showed weak agreement with turnover numbers predicted from sequences.

Epigenetic Perspectives on Maternal Gut Microbiota's Impact on Embryonic and Fetal Development

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review summarizes how maternal health and nutrition shape gut microbiota via epigenetics to regulate embryonic development. It highlights microbiota‐embryo interactions, disruption by prenatal chemical exposures, and personalized nutrition for disease prevention, offering novel insights and therapeutic targets.

Microbial Ecology of the Heterogeneous Terrestrial Deep Biosphere Over 4 years in the Deep Mine Microbial Observatory (DeMMO)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The deep continental subsurface hosts a large, diverse, and poorly characterized microbiome. The geochemistry and microbiology of deep subsurface sites are closely linked and influenced by geological, hydrological, and anthropogenic factors. The Deep Mine Microbial Observatory (DeMMO; Lead, SD) was established in 2015 to provide stable portals

Codh/Acs-Deficient Methanogens Are Prevalent in Anaerobic Digesters

Microorganisms, 2021
Methanogens are archaea that grow by producing methane as a catabolic end product and thrive in diverse anaerobic habitats, including soil, sediments, oil reservoirs, digestive tracts, and anaerobic digesters.

Ecological Processes Underpinning Microbial Variability in Archean Granitoids Beneath the Deccan Traps: Evidence From Deep Drilling in Koyna, India

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Deep biosphere hosted by Archean granitoid basement of Deccan Traps showed depth‐wise microbial partitioning. Limited dispersion and variable selection control community assembly. Fewer abundant bacterial taxa were ubiquitous, while large numbers of rare taxa remained localized.

Optimizing Microbial Fuel Cell Efficiency Through a Designed Electrogenic Consortium to Remove Alkylbenzenes

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 10, 19 May 2026.
A mangrove‐derived electrogenic microbial consortium was successfully acclimated to codegrade ethylbenzene and xylenes in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Acclimation provided high degradation efficiencies (up to 97%) and improved energy recovery. The MFC reached voltage of 520 mV and power density of 63.4 mW m−2.

Homoacetogenic Conversion of Mannitol by the Thermophilic Acetogenic Bacterium Thermoanaerobacter kivui Requires External CO2

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Acetogenic microorganisms utilize organic substrates such as sugars in addition to hydrogen (H2) + carbon dioxide (CO2). Recently, we reported that the thermophilic acetogenic microorganism Thermoanaerobacter kivui is among the few acetogens that utilize
