    • “Candidatus Ethanoperedens,” a thermophilic genus of archaea mediating the anaerobic oxidation of ethane 

      Hahn, Cedric Jasper; Laso-Pérez, Rafael; Vulcano, Francesca; Vaziourakis, Konstantinos-Marios; Stokke, Runar; Steen, Ida Helene; Teske, Andreas; Boetius, Antje; Liebeke, Manuel; Amann, Rudolf; Knittel, Katrin; Wegener, Gunter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Cold seeps and hydrothermal vents deliver large amounts of methane and other gaseous alkanes into marine surface sediments. Consortia of archaea and partner bacteria thrive on the oxidation of these alkanes and its coupling ...

    • Grazing on Marine Viruses and Its Biogeochemical Implications 

      Mayers, Kyle; Kuhlisch, Constanze; Basso, Jonelle T. R.; Saltvedt, Marius Rydningen; Buchan, Alison; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the ocean and show great diversity in terms of size, host specificity, and infection cycle. Lytic viruses induce host cell lysis to release their progeny and thereby ...

    • Managing Contamination and Diverse Bacterial Loads in 16S rRNA Deep Sequencing of Clinical Samples: Implications of the Law of Small Numbers 

      Dyrhovden, Ruben; Rippin, Martin; Øvrebø, Kjell Kåre; Nygaard, Randi Monsen; Ulvestad, Elling; Kommedal, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In this article, we investigate patterns of microbial DNA contamination in targeted 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing (16S deep sequencing) and demonstrate how this can be used to filter background bacterial DNA in diagnostic ...

    • Virus Genomes from Deep Sea Sediments Expand the Ocean Megavirome and Support Independent Origins of Viral Gigantism 

      Bäckström, Disa; Yutin, Natalya; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth; Dharamshi, Jennah; Homa, Felix; Zaremba-Niedwiedzka, Katarzyna; Spang, Anja; Wolf, Yuri I.; Koonin, Eugene V.; Ettema, Thijs J.G. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) of eukaryotes (proposed order, “Megavirales”) include the families Poxviridae, Asfarviridae, Iridoviridae, Ascoviridae, Phycodnaviridae, Marseilleviridae, and Mimiviridae, ...
