A critical review of mineral-microbe interaction and co-evolution: mechanisms and applications

Hailiang Dong et al.

Summary: Mineral-microbe interactions are vital in understanding environmental change and the formation of ore deposits. Microbes impact the dissolution, transformation, and precipitation of minerals, which in turn affects major geological events. Despite progress made, there are still important questions that require further research.

Reconciling evidence of oxidative weathering and atmospheric anoxia on Archean Earth

Aleisha C. Johnson et al.

Summary: Evidence suggests the presence of oxygen production and accumulation on Earth's surface before the Great Oxidation Event, but quantifying early oxygen levels has proven challenging. By analyzing the distribution and isotopic composition of molybdenum in ancient sedimentary records, researchers have been able to calculate lower limits for atmospheric oxygen levels and production fluxes during the Archean era. The findings indicate that oxygen levels in the Archean were extremely low compared to a lifeless Earth system, highlighting the complexity of early atmospheric oxygen dynamics.

Radiation of nitrogen-metabolizing enzymes across the tree of life tracks environmental transitions in Earth history

Chris Parsons et al.

Summary: Nitrogen is essential for life and plays a significant role in global biological productivity. The study investigated the evolution of nitrogen-cycling metabolisms on early Earth by analyzing gene and species trees, revealing key events such as gene birth and horizontal transfer. The findings provide new insights into the timing of metabolisms proliferation and its relation to oxygen levels and nitrogen availability in the early Earth.
