Journal ArticleDOI

Complete nitrification by a single microorganism

TL;DR: The enrichment and initial characterization of two Nitrospira species that encode all the enzymes necessary for ammonia oxidation via nitrite to nitrate in their genomes, and indeed completely oxidize ammonium to nitrates to conserve energy are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

A highly abundant bacteriophage discovered in the unknown sequences of human faecal metagenomes

TL;DR: The discovery of a previously unidentified bacteriophage present in the majority of published human faecal metagenomes, which is referred to as crAssphage and predicted to have a Bacteroides host for this phage, consistent with Bactseroides-related protein homologues and a unique carbohydrate-binding domain encoded in the phage genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Archaea catalyze iron-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane

TL;DR: This study identifies archaea of the order Methanosarcinales, related to “Candidatus Methanoperedens nitroreducens,” which couple the reduction of environmentally relevant particulate forms of iron and manganese to methane oxidation, filling one of the remaining lacunas in anaerobic methane oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-based microbial ecology of anammox granules in a full-scale wastewater treatment system

TL;DR: This work uses genome-resolved metagenomics to build a genome-based ecological model of the microbial community in a full-scale PNA reactor and yields 23 near-complete draft genomes, including the most complete Omnitrophica genome to date.
