TL;DR: New genomic data from over 1,000 uncultivated and little known organisms, together with published sequences, are used to infer a dramatically expanded version of the tree of life, with Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya included.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential for microbial H2 and metal transformations associated with novel bacteria and archaea in deep terrestrial subsurface sediments.

TL;DR: An ecological model that links microorganisms to sediment-derived resources is inferred and potential impacts of microbial activity on H2 consumption and retardation of radionuclide migration are predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The dominance of ANME-2d in groundwater enriched in sulfate and methane from a 300-m deep underground borehole in granitic rock concludes that AOM may be widespread in the deep continental biosphere.
