TL;DR: The results from this 3-year study demonstrate that biogeochemical conditions present during reductive treatment, and the potential for buildup of reducing species, will impact the long-term sustainability of the remediation effort.

TL;DR: Lipids from submicron POM (here called extra-small POM) are distinct from larger classes of suspended POM in the surface ocean, suggesting that the lipid component of mesopelagic POM primarily contains the exported remains of small particles.

TL;DR: In this paper, new techniques such as the PhyloChip and pyrosequencing might help to see beyond the familiar fields, into areas that could help to forge a new understanding of the ecology of fungal entomopathogens.

TL;DR: The stable carbon isotope composition of the biofilm from the SMT (−35 to −43‰) suggests that the production of theBiofilm is associated with AOM, a novel, but apparently widespread, aggregation of cells represented by the ANME-1 clade that occur in methane-rich marine sediments.

TL;DR: Investigation of microdiversity in a highly diverse and poorly characterized soil system (leaf litter in a southern Californian grassland) finds that traits within Curtobacterium are conserved at different phylogenetic depths, suggesting that microd diversity may be key to understanding how soil bacterial diversity is linked to ecosystem functioning.
