TL;DR: Although HREs may have been strictly anaerobic and typically methanogenic for much of their history, this may not hold today for coal beds and for the Alberta oil sands, one of the largest remaining oil reservoirs in the world.

Effect of oxygen minimum zone formation on communities of marine protists.
TL;DR: The response of microbial eukaryote populations to seasonal changes in water column oxygen-deficiency is reported using Saanich Inlet, a seasonally anoxic fjord on the coast of Vancouver Island British Columbia, as a model ecosystem to reveal shifts in operational taxonomic units during successive stages of seasonal stratification and renewal.
Microbial life in a liquid asphalt desert.
Dirk Schulze-Makuch,S. Haque,Marina Resendes de Sousa António,Denzil Ali,Riad Hosein,Young C. Song,Jinshu Yang,Elena Zaikova,Denise M. Beckles,Edward F. Guinan,Harry Lehto,Steven J. Hallam +11 more
TL;DR: An active microbial community of archaea and bacteria, many of them novel strains (particularly from the new Tar ARC groups), totaling a biomass of up to 107 cells per gram, was found to inhabit the liquid hydrocarbon matrix of pitch lake as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The workflow described here provides a general paradigm for recovery and characterization of microbially derived genes and gene products based on genetic logic and contemporary screening technologies developed for model organismal systems.

DataBiNS: a BioMoby-based data-mining workflow for biological pathways and non-synonymous SNPs
TL;DR: The use of an automated BioMoby workflow, rather than manual 'surfing', to retrieve the necessary data, significantly reduces the effort required for functional interpretation of SNP data, and thus encourages more speculative investigation.
