Int J Syst Evol Microbiol
. 2025 Mar;
75(3).
PMID: 40029305
Enrichment cultures of archaea and bacteria performing the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) regularly contain persistent methanogens. Here, we isolated the marine methanogen sp. nov. strain LMO-2 from a long-term...

. 2024 Oct;
15(1):9065.
PMID: 39433727
The anaerobic oxidation of alkanes is a microbial process that mitigates the flux of hydrocarbon seeps into the oceans. In marine archaea, the process depends on sulphate-reducing bacterial partners to...

PMID: 39421557
Hydrothermal vents emit hot fluids enriched in energy sources for microbial life. Here, we compare the ecological and biogeochemical effects of hydrothermal venting of two recently discovered volcanic seamounts, Polaris...

Nat Commun
. 2024 Aug;
15(1):6560.
PMID: 39095478
Methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation can be carried out by archaea that couple alkane oxidation directly to methanogenesis, or by syntrophic associations of bacteria with methanogenic archaea. However, metagenomic analyses of methanogenic...

PMID: 39083033
In subsurface biodegraded oil reservoirs, methanogenic biodegradation of crude oil is a common process. This process was previously assigned to the syntrophy of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and methanogenic archaea. Recent studies...

PMID: 38365230
Hadarchaeota inhabit subsurface and hydrothermally heated environments, but previous to this study, they had not been cultured. Based on metagenome-assembled genomes, most Hadarchaeota are heterotrophs that grow on sugars and...

PMID: 37840718
Unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons (UAHs) are recalcitrant molecules abundant in crude oil, which is accumulated in subsurface reservoirs and occasionally enters the marine environment through natural seepage or human-caused spillage. The...

Nat Microbiol
. 2023 Jun;
8(7):1199-1212.
PMID: 37264141
Methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea produce and consume the greenhouse gas methane, respectively, using the reversible enzyme methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr). Recently, Mcr variants that can activate multicarbon alkanes have been...

PMID: 36894632
Members of the bacterial genus Sulfurimonas (phylum Campylobacterota) dominate microbial communities in marine redoxclines and are important for sulfur and nitrogen cycling. Here we used metagenomics and metabolic analyses to...
