TL;DR: Novel marine, corrosive types of SRB obtained via an isolation approach with metallic iron as the only electron donor are described, suggesting that the novel surface-attached cell type obtained electrons from metallic iron in a more direct manner than via free hydrogen.

TL;DR: This work systematically explore the phylogeny of taxa currently assigned to these classes using 120 conserved single-copy marker genes as well as rRNA genes and indicates the independent acquisition of predatory behaviour in the phyla Myxococcota and Bdellovibrio, which is consistent with their distinct modes of action.

TL;DR: A Gram-negative, motile, denitrifying bacterium isolated from activated sludge of a municipal wastewater treatment plant using 17beta-oestradiol (E2) as sole source of carbon and energy was isolated and placed in a new genus Denitratisoma gen. nov.

TL;DR: The soxB gene was detected in all investigated photo- and chemotrophic species that form sulfur globules during thiosulfate oxidation, and the SoxB phylogeny reflected the major 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic lineages of the investigated SOB, although topological discrepancies indicated several events of lateral sox B gene transfer among the SOB.

TL;DR: Analysis of genome data indicated that this phylogenetic separation is also reflected in the differing presence of the putative proteins functionally associated with Apr, QmoABC complex (quinone-interacting membrane-bound oxidoreductase) and AprM (transmembrane protein).
