Lignite is an obsolete and less commercially circulated natural resource due to its low calorific value worldwide. The effective conversion of lignite into methane is important considering the global energy crunch. This study reported the effective bioconversion of organic matter released from chemically solubilized lignite to methane using two methanogenic consortia types: mixed methanogenic enrichment culture (mMEC) and SAL25-2.

Article Synopsis
- Serpentinization of ultramafic rocks generates hydrogen that supports certain microorganisms but presents harsh conditions like high alkalinity and limited electron acceptors.
- Research on two serpentinization-active systems shows that traditional methods of hydrogen and carbon-based metabolism are not feasible due to very low CO levels.
- A newly discovered group of bacteria, "Ca. Lithacetigenota," adapts to these challenging conditions by utilizing reduced carbon compounds like formate and glycine for energy, highlighting ancient metabolic strategies that might have implications for early life on Earth.

A novel mesophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain HN2, was isolated from groundwater sampled from the subsurface siliceous mudstone of the Wakkanai Formation located in Horonobe, Hokkaido, Japan. The bacterium was Gram-negative and vibrio-shaped, and its motility was conferred by a single polar flagellum. Cells had desulfoviridin.
