Trophic status strongly regulates nitrous oxide but not methane production in global freshwater lake sediments | Nature Communications https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-72269-z

We saw this on biorxiv last year, nice to see it published! I like their table of efficiency by strain - tough luck in some species, but still very cool.

Most bacteria remain uncultured with vast microbial ‘dark matter’ awaiting discovery.. to address this am excited to share EDEN - an enhanced domestication method to grow uncultured bacteria & new diversity. Using EDEN we isolate a new species active against MDR pathogens.. doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Yet another functional group that is not as restricted as we thought for 25 years. This is an important reminder that microbes are metabolically more diverse than we give them credit and yet another reminder that 16S rRNA surveys are ignorant about metabolism. Just bc you detect some ANME =/= AOM.

New preprint alert 🚨: Who actually drives methane production in anoxic sediments 🧬🔥? We point to a transcriptionally dominant 🦠 clade: VadinHA17. shorturl.at/Rijc0 @bledinadede.bsky.social @taylorpriest.bsky.social

Excited to share our paper in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social We explore how microbes can simultaneously use oxygen and alternative electron acceptors, reshaping how we think about respiration. We also discuss the evolutionary context and how it can be studied. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas with a high heat-trapping capacity but a short lifespan in the atmosphere. So-called “microbial methane munchers” can lower methane emissions from diverse ecosystems, as explored on the new #FEMSmicroBlog. #FascinatingMicrobes
