Journal ArticleDOI

Butterfield,Alex W Hernsdorf,Yuki Amano,Kotaro Ise,Yohey Suzuki,Natasha Dudek,David A. Relman,David A. Relman,Kari M. Finstad,Ronald Amundson,Brian C. Thomas,Jillian F. Banfield,Jillian F.

TL;DR: New genomic data from over 1,000 uncultivated and little known organisms, together with published sequences, are used to infer a dramatically expanded version of the tree of life, with Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya included.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences are presented, including the Minimum Information about a Single Amplified Genome (MISAG) and the Minimum information about a Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MIMAG), including estimates of genome completeness and contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial communities in acid mine drainage
TL;DR: Evidence for physiological synergy in iron, sulfur, and carbon flow in these communities is reviewed, and microbial and geochemical simplicity of these systems makes them ideal targets for quantitative, genomic-based analyses of microbial ecology and evolution and community function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asgard archaea illuminate the origin of eukaryotic cellular complexity

TL;DR: The results expand the known repertoire of ‘eukaryote-specific’ proteins in Archaea, indicating that the archaeal host cell already contained many key components that govern eukaryotic cellular complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community Proteomics of a Natural Microbial Biofilm
Rachna J. Ram,Nathan C Verberkmoes,Michael P. Thelen,Michael P. Thelen,Gene W. Tyson,Brett J. Baker,Robert C. Blake,Manesh Shah,Robert L. Hettich,Jillian F. Banfield +9 more
TL;DR: Using genomic and mass spectrometry-based proteomic methods, gene expression, identified key activities, and examined partitioning of metabolic functions in a natural acid mine drainage (AMD) microbial biofilm community suggest damage to biomolecules is a key challenge for survival.
