TL;DR: Findings show that evolutionary events based on horizontal gene transfer occur within an ongoing CDI and contribute to the adaptation of the species by the introduction of new genes into the genomes.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of Candidatus Nitrososphaera gargensis is obtained from an enrichment culture, representing a different evolutionary lineage of AOA frequently found in high numbers in many terrestrial environments and it is shown that thaumarchaeota produce cofactor F420 as well as polyhydroxyalkanoates.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of A. woodii solves the enigma and uncovers Rnf as the only ion-motive enzyme coupled to the pathway and unravels a metabolism designed to produce reduced ferredoxin and overcome energetic barriers by virtue of electron-bifurcating, soluble enzymes.

TL;DR: The complete genome of “Candidatus Methanoplasma termitum” was sequenced from a highly enriched culture obtained from the intestinal tract of termites and compared it with the previously published genomes of three other strains from the human gut, including the first isolate of the Methanomassiliicoccales.

TL;DR: This is the first metagenome study of microalga- and PBR-associated biofilm bacteria, and it gives new clues for improved biofuel production in PBRs.
