Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic and enzymatic evidence for acetogenesis among multiple lineages of the archaeal phylum Bathyarchaeota widespread in marine sediments.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics suggests oxygen availability as a driving force in Thaumarchaeota evolution
Minglei Ren,Xiaoyuan Feng,Yongjie Huang,Hui Wang,Zhong Hu,Scott Clingenpeel,Brandon K. Swan,Miguel Fonseca,David Posada,Ramunas Stepanauskas,James T. Hollibaugh,Peter G. Foster,Tanja Woyke,Haiwei Luo +13 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that oxygen availability drove the terrestrial origin of AOA and their expansion to the photic and dark oceans, and that the stressors encountered during these events were partially overcome by gene acquisitions from Euryarchaeota and Bacteria, among other sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomic Analysis of Virioplankton of the Subtropical Jiulong River Estuary, China
TL;DR: The study indicated that the diversity and community structure of the virioplankton found in JRE were mainly affected by marine waters, with less influence from freshwater discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Core Metabolic Features and Hot Origin of Bathyarchaeota
TL;DR: The core metabolic features of Bathyarchaeota are revealed, and a hot origin of this archaeal phylum is indicated, indicating an acetyl-CoA-centralized metabolism within this phylum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and Metabolic Potentials of Subsurface Crustal Microorganisms from the Western Flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
TL;DR: Investigating the microbial abundance, diversity, and metabolic potentials in the sediment-buried crust from “North Pond” provides evidence that the North Pond crustal biosphere is dominated by unique bacterial groups with the potential for iron-related biogeochemical cycles.
