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: It is shown that the poorly characterised Thermoplasmata archaea in bovine rumen are methylotrophic methanogens and that they are reduced upon dietary supplementation with rapeseed oil in lactating cows.

TL;DR: The morphology and physiological properties of the two species characterize Picrophilus as a novel genus that is a member of a novel family within the order Thermoplasmales.

TL;DR: This is the firstProof of anammox and denitrification in the same animal host, and the first proof of anaerobic ammonium oxidation and den itrification in sponges.

TL;DR: These data give first insight into the genome content and diversity of the ubiquitously distributed but poorly characterized phylum of Acidobacteria, and support the phylogenetic inferences made from 16S rRNA gene libraries, suggesting that Acidob bacteria form a broad group in the same sense and with a similar diversity as that of many well‐studied bacterial phyla.
