Open AccessElectrochemically coupled CH4 and CO2 consumption driven by microbial processes
The chemical transformations of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gases typically have high energy barriers. Here we present an approach of strategic coupling of CH4 oxidation and CO2 reduction in...

Impacts of The Wetland Sedge Carex aquatilis on Microbial Community and Methane Metabolisms
Microbial activity in the soil of wetlands is responsible for the emission of more methane to the atmosphere than all other natural sources combined. This microbial activity is heavily impacted by plant roots,...

Open AccessEcology and molecular targets of hypermutation in the global microbiome
Changes in the sequence of an organism’s genome, i.e., mutations, are the raw material of evolution. The frequency and location of mutations can be constrained by specific molecular mechanisms, such as diversi...
