Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics reveal broadly distributed, active, novel methanotrophs in the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone and in the marine water column

Kathryn L. Howe et al.

Summary: Multi-omics approaches and analyses were used to identify and characterize novel, uncultured, non-canonical marine methanotrophs. The study found a large, diverse and unrecognized community of active aerobic methanotrophs in the northern Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone and in the global ocean. These methanotrophs could play a role in mitigating methane flux to the atmosphere.

Diversity of Thermophilic Prokaryotes Inhabiting Russian Natural Hot Springs

T. Kochetkova et al.

Summary: This review highlights key findings from studies on the diversity of thermophilic prokaryotes in hot springs within the Russian Federation. It summarizes research conducted over several decades on microbial communities in various regions, discussing their taxonomy, energy processes, carbon cycling, and uncultivated lineages in thermal environments.

Verrucomicrobiota are specialist consumers of sulfated methyl pentoses during diatom blooms

Luis H. Orellana et al.

Summary: The study found that small, coccoid, free-living Verrucomicrobiota specialize in consuming fucose and rhamnose during spring algal blooms in the North Sea. These Verrucomicrobiota populations accounted for up to 8% of the bacterioplankton and actively expressed proteins critical for the consumption of fucosylated and sulfated polysaccharides during consecutive spring bloom events. Specialized metabolic pathways of Verrucomicrobiota could determine the fate of complex polysaccharides consumed during algae blooms, particularly those containing methyl pentose sugars.

Donovan H. Parks et al.

Summary: The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) provides a phylogenetically consistent taxonomy for prokaryotic genomes sourced from the NCBI database. It includes a large number of bacterial and archaeal genomes, highlights the importance of metagenome-assembled genomes, and discusses improvements to the GTDB website and the procedure for updating species clusters.

Fontivita pretiosa gen. nov., sp. nov., a thermophilic planctomycete of the order Tepidisphaerales from a hot spring of Baikal lake region

Olga A. Podosokorskaya et al.

Summary: A novel facultatively anaerobic moderately thermophilic bacterium, named Fontivita pretiosa, was isolated from a terrestrial hot spring in the Baikal lake region. This bacterium exhibits unique physiological and genomic features, which contributes to our understanding of biodiversity and environmental adaptation.

Peat-Inhabiting Verrucomicrobia of the Order Methylacidiphilales Do Not Possess Methanotrophic Capabilities

Svetlana N. Dedysh et al.

Summary: The study found that verrucomicrobial methanotrophs of the order Methylacidiphilales were mainly present in acidic raised bogs, with no presence in neutral fens. Laboratory incubation showed an increase in alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs in response to methane, while Methylacidiphilales-affiliated bacteria did not show any response. This suggests that peat-inhabiting members of the Methylacidiphilales are acidophilic aerobic heterotrophs, distinct from the methanotrophic Methylacidiphilaceae.
