TL;DR: Under conventional growth conditions, the isotope fractionation of methanogenesis by M. kandleri strain 116 was similar to values previously reported for other hydrogenotrophic methanogens, but under high hydrostatic pressures, the atom fractionation effect became much smaller, and the kinetic isotope effect was one of the smallest effects ever reported.

TL;DR: A hypothetical model for eukaryogenesis is proposed, termed the entangle–engulf–endogenize (also known as E 3 ) model, and isolation and characterization of an Asgard archaeon related to Lokiarchaeota reveals insights into how eukARYotes may have evolved from prokaryotes.

TL;DR: Strain GO25(T) represents the first deep-sea epsilonproteobacterium capable of growth by both hydrogen and sulfur oxidation and is proposed as the reclassification of Thiomicrospira denitrificans as Sulfurimonas denitRificans comb.

TL;DR: Phylometabolic evaluation suggests that the TCA cycle with reversible CS may represent an ancestral mode of the rTCA cycle and raises the possibility of a facultatively chemolithomixotrophic origin of life.

TL;DR: Benthic communities were similar across all the carcasses studied, although the body sizes of the whales were very different, and the succession of epifaunal communities was relatively rapid and the sulphophilic stage was considerably shorter than that of other known whale falls.
