Project description:To understand the ecophysiology of Sulfurihydrogenibium spp. in situ, integrated metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analyses were conducted on a microbial community from Narrow Gauge at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park.
Project description:This study examined archaeal lipidome of a total of 48 sediment and soil samples across a wide range of environmental gradients, including sediment from hot springs in Tengchong, Yunan Province, sediment from acid mine drainages in Anhui and Guangdong provinces, permafrost soil from Tibet Plateau, soil from Western Sichuan Plateau, surface sediment of cold seeps and sediment core material from the South China Sea, and sediment from the East China Sea.
Project description:The draft genomes of Thermus tengchongensis YIM 77401 and T. caliditerrae YIM 77777 are 2,562,314 and 2,218,114 bp and encode 2,726 and 2,305 predicted genes, respectively. Gene content and growth experiments demonstrate broad metabolic capacity, including starch hydrolysis, thiosulfate oxidation, arsenite oxidation, incomplete denitrification, and polysulfide reduction.
Project description:The thermophilic Aquificales inhabit and play important biogeochemical roles in the geothermal environments globally. Although intensive studies on physiology, microbial ecology, biochemistry, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of the Aquificales¬ species and Aquificales-containing environmental samples have been conducted, comprehensive understandings about their ecophysiology, especially in the natural niches have been limited. In the present study, an integrated suite of metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analyses, for the first time, were conducted on a filamentous microbial community from the Apron and Channel Facies (ACF) of CaCO3 (travertine) deposition at Narrow Gauge, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park.
