TL;DR: Findings are that members of the Roseobacter lineage cannot be easily collapsed into just a few ecologically differentiated clusters (that is, there are almost as many clusters as isolates); the strongest framework for predicting genome content is trophic strategy, but no single framework gives robust predictions; and previously unknown homologs to genes for H2 oxidation, proteorhodopsin- based phototrophy, xanthorhodpsin-based phototROphy, and CO2

TL;DR: Comparative genome sequence analysis of three cultured Roseobacter representatives suggests that cellular requirements for nitrogen are largely provided by regenerated ammonium and organic compounds, while typical sources of carbon include amino acids, glyoxylate, and aromatic metabolites.

TL;DR: A review of multi-component Reactive Transport Models (RTMs) can be found in this article, where the authors present seven testable hypotheses that emphasize the unique capabilities of process-based RTMs for elucidating chemical weathering and its physical and biogeochemical drivers; understanding the interactions among roots, micro-organisms, carbon, water, and minerals in the rhizosphere; assessing the effects of heterogeneity across spatial and temporal scales; and integrating the vast quantity of novel data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics), elemental concentration and speciation

TL;DR: In this article, the calcite growth rate and the incorporation of Sr in the growing crystals strongly depended on the solution stoichiometry, and the growth rate was highest when the solution concentration ratio, r = [Ca 2+ ]/[CO 3 2� ], equaled one, and decreased symmetrically with increasing or decreasing values of r.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional reactive transport model is used to investigate the control on nutrient (NO3,N H 4 þ,P O 4) dynamics in a coastal aquifer.
