TL;DR: The purple sulfur bacterium Candidatus 'Thiodictyon syntrophicum' strain Cad16(T) had the highest CO₂ assimilation rate in the light of the four strains tested and had a high CO⁂Assimilation rate even in the dark, and the draft genome sequence showed the presence of cbbL and cbbM genes, which encode form I and form II of RuBisCO, respectively.

TL;DR: Major differences in cell morphology, carotenoid group, chemolithotrophic growth as well as the ability to form syntrophic associations with a sulfate-reducing bacteria of the genus Desulfocapsa suggested a different species within the genus Thiodictyon.

TL;DR: Taking advantage of FCM detection of dynamic cellular complexity variation during phases of photosynthetic activity, an unexpected alternation in PSB versus GSB metabolic activity is identified, indicating dynamic interspecific interactions between these two populations.

TL;DR: This study suggests that both bacterial interactions between different lake compartments and within the chemocline can be a dynamic process influencing the stratification structure of Lake Cadagno water column.

TL;DR: The lake Cadagno (26 ha) as mentioned in this paper is a crenogenic meromictic lake located in the Swiss Alps at 1921 m asl with a maximum depth of 21 m. The presence of crystalline rocks and a dolomite vein rich in gypsum in the catchment area makes the lake a typical “sulphuretum” dominated by coupled carbon and sulphur cycles.
