Eutrophication remains a global challenge driven by nutrient over-enrichment, with current control strategies often showing limited effectiveness. Thi…

Nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) links methane oxidation with nitrogen cycling and provides potential for sustainable wa…

Estuaries worldwide are experiencing intensifying acidification and hypoxia, driven synergistically by anthropogenic activities and global climate cha…

High concentration of ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+-N) is a widley known characteristic of landfill leachate, and therefore, a thorough understanding of the…

Methane (CH4) is thought to be mainly produced in anoxic sediments in rivers and emitted to atmosphere through water column. Yet, CH4 dynamics in the …

Long-read sequence assemblies from metagenomes contain frequent errors.

This Review provides a comprehensive discussion of how methods in machine learning and computer vision have been used to improve super-resolution microscopy to gain insights into subcellular biology.

Abstract. Extracting and directly amplifying DNA from small-volume, low-biomass samples would enable rapid, ultra-high-throughput analyses, facilitating th

Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 02 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01266-8In this Perspective, Garza et al. revisit the keystone concept and discuss its relevance for microbial keystone taxa and functions. For this, they explore the different mechanisms behind keystoneness, cover the strengths and weaknesses of current keystone prediction methods, present recent findings on keystone taxa and functions and explore the role of keystones in community control.

The biological carbon pump (BCP) transports carbon fixed by phytoplankton into the deep ocean via multiple pathways and leads to net carbon dioxide sequestration. The BCP is very active in highly prod...

We create vector graphics of model organisms and emerging biological research organisms to enhance our publications. We’re sharing these editable graphics under a CC0 license for other scientists to...

Around 4% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions originate from drained peatlands. Unlike rewetting drained peatlands with freshwater, brackish water rewetting is expected to reduce CO2 emissions, w...

Propionic acid has been reported as a recalcitrant compound that inhibits methane production in digesters as well in microbial electrolysis cells. To study this phenomenon electrochemical cells supple...
