Phylogenomics-based reclassifications in the genus Psychrobacter including emended descriptions of Psychrobacter pacificensis, Psychrobacter proteolyticus and Psychrobacter submarinus
The taxonomic status of 43 Psychrobacter species was examined based upon the genome sequences of their type strains. Three groups of type strains were found to be conspecific, Psychrobacter salsus Shivaji et al. ...

Open AccessExpression of divergent methyl/alkyl coenzyme M reductases from uncultured archaea
Methanogens and anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) are important players in the global carbon cycle. Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is a key enzyme in methane metabolism, catalyzing the last step in...
