Aerated soils form the second largest sink for atmospheric CH A near-complete genome of uncultured upland soil cluster that oxidize CH at <2.5 ppmv was obtained from incubated Antarctic mineral cryosols. This first genome of high-affinity methanotrophs can help resolve the mysteries about their phylogenetic affiliation and metabolic potential.

First insights into the prokaryotic community structure of Lake Cote, Costa Rica: Influence on nutrient cycling.

Prokaryotic diversity in lakes has been studied for many years mainly focusing on community structure and how the bacterial assemblages are driven by physicochemical conditions such as temperature, oxygen, and nutrients. However, little is known about how the composition and function of the prokaryotic community changes upon lake stratification. To elucidate this, we studied Lake Cote in Costa Rica determining prokaryotic diversity and community structure in conjunction with physicochemistry along vertical gradients during stratification and mixing periods.

The global atmospheric level of methane (CH), the second most important greenhouse gas, is currently increasing by ∼10 million tons per year. Microbial oxidation in unsaturated soils is the only known biological process that removes CH from the atmosphere, but so far, bacteria that can grow on atmospheric CH have eluded all cultivation efforts. In this study, we have isolated a pure culture of a bacterium, strain MG08 that grows on air at atmospheric concentrations of CH [1.

Article Synopsis
- Crenarchaeol is primarily produced by Thaumarchaeota, but other archaeal groups like Thermoplasmatales and methanogens may also contribute to its presence in various ecosystems.
- The study analyzed soil and sediment samples to understand the relationship between archaeal communities and different forms of iGDGT lipids, particularly in relation to crenarchaeol.
- Findings indicate that while Thaumarchaeota are the main source of crenarchaeol, the presence and abundance of Thermoplasmatales and methanogens can also play a role, suggesting a more complex evolutionary background for lipid synthesis in archaea.
