amoA-based consensus phylogeny of ammonia-oxidizing archaea and deep sequencing of amoA genes from soils of four different geographic regions.

TL;DR: An archaeal amoA consensus phylogeny is presented based on all publicly available sequences and evidence for the diversification of AOA into four previously recognized clusters and one newly identified major cluster is provided.

TL;DR: It is concluded that current functional predictions based on phylogeny significantly underestimate the extent of sulfate/sulfite reduction across Earth’s ecosystems.
A ‘rare biosphere’ microorganism contributes to sulfate reduction in a peatland
Michael Pester,Norbert Bittner,Pinsurang Deevong,Pinsurang Deevong,Michael Wagner,Alexander Loy +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 16S rRNA gene stable isotope probing (SIP) in the presence and absence of sulfate indicated that a Desulfosporosinus species is an important sulfate reducer in a long-term experimental peatland field site.
Phylogenetic and environmental diversity of DsrAB-type dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductases
TL;DR: An operational classification system for environmental dsrAB sequences is introduced that integrates established taxonomic groups with operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at multiple phylogenetic levels, ranging from DsrAB enzyme families that reflect reductive or oxidative DSRAB types of bacterial or archaeal origin, superclusters, uncultured family-level lineages to species-level OTUs.
Sulfate-reducing microorganisms in wetlands - fameless actors in carbon cycling and climate change.
TL;DR: The hidden sulfur cycle in wetlands and the fact that wetland SRM are not well represented by described SRM species explains their so far neglected role as important actors in carbon cycling and climate change.
