Aurora Vent Field Is A Hotspot For Microbial Hydrogen Oxidation In The Arctic Ocean
5+ hour, 9+ min ago (227+ words) Here, we use a metagenomic approach to, for the first time, assess the genome-resolved microbial energy conservation potential within hydrothermal deposits and sediments from the ice-covered, extraordinarily H2-rich Aurora Vent Field in the Arctic Ocean. Community-wide analysis revealed broad taxonomic…...

Did Iron Suppress Eukaryote Emergence and Early Radiation?
3+ week, 1+ day ago (176+ words) The last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) is widely thought to have been an oxygen-respiring organism, arising through endosymbiosis when a free-living bacterium became the mitochondrion. Notably, the earliest candidate eukaryotes appear contemporaneous with the cessation of major iron deposits and…...
