TL;DR: The findings suggest that microplastic is a novel microbial niche and may serve as a vector for ARGs and pathogens to new environment in river water, generating freshwater environmental risk and exerting adverse impacts on human health.

TL;DR: Genetic evidence that some lineages of Bathyarchaeota are acetogens is provided, being capable of homoacetogenesis, a metabolism so far restricted to the domain Bacteria, and a revision of the role of Archaea in the carbon cycle of marine sediments is argued for.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent findings pertaining to the ecological, physiological and genomic aspects of Bathyarchaeota, highlighting the vital role of this phylum in global carbon cycling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight microbial contributions to plume and broader ocean biogeochemistry and review recent work to illustrate the ecological and biogeographic linkages between plumes, seafloor vent habitats, and other marine habitats such as oxygen minimum zones, cold seeps, and oil spills.

TL;DR: Both lineage abundance distribution and co-occurrence network analyses across diverse biotopes confirmed metabolic complementation and revealed a potential syntrophic relationship between Woesearchaeota and methanogens, which is supported by metabolic modeling.
