Population ecology and biogeochemical implications of ssDNA and dsDNA viruses along a permafrost thaw gradient

The potential roles of viruses in microbial-induced permafrost thaw, which is accelerated by climate change, are unclear. Here, Trubl et al. sample a permafrost thaw gradient and identify thousands of new viruses carrying genes with metabolic-related functions, which might influence the fate of stored carbon.

Decrypting bacterial polyphenol metabolism in an anoxic wetland soil

It is thought that polyphenols inhibit organic matter decomposition in soils devoid of oxygen. Here the authors use metabolomics and genome-resolved metaproteomics to provide experimental evidence of polyphenol biodegradation and maintained soil microbial community metabolism despite anoxia.

Methanogenesis in oxygenated soils is a substantial fraction of wetland methane emissions

Methane production is traditionally not found in oxygenated soils, a paradigm incorporated in global greenhouse gas modelling efforts. Here the authors show geochemical and biological evidence of active methanogenesis in bulk-oxic wetland soils, attributing up to 80% of the total methane budget for the site.

Cryptic inoviruses revealed as pervasive in bacteria and archaea across Earth’s biomes

A machine learning approach was used to recover over 10,000 inovirus-like sequences from existing microbial genomes and metagenomes, consequently proposing the reclassification of the Inoviridae family to a viral order, and uncover the previously unrecognized diversity of these viruses across hosts and environments.

Diverse uncultivated ultra-small bacterial cells in groundwater

Little is known about certain bacterial phyla because of our current inability to grow them in the lab. Here, Luef et al.combine metagenomics and ultrastuctural analyses to show that some of these bacteria have a very small cell size, tightly packed DNA, few ribosomes and diverse pili-like structures.

Turnover of sediment organic matter contributes to global carbon cycling, yet the microorganisms involved are largely unknown. Castelleet al.reveal that an aquifer sediment core hosts a ‘zoo’ of organisms, including representatives of a previously undescribed phylum (Zixibacteria).
