Thermodynamic and kinetic hydricities of metal-free hydrides
Stefan Ilic,Stefan Ilic,Abdulaziz Alherz,Charles B. Musgrave,Charles B. Musgrave,Ksenija D. Glusac,Ksenija D. Glusac +6 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes reported experimental and calculated hydricity values for more than 200 metal-free hydride donors, including carbon-, boron-, nitrogen- and silicon-based hydrides, and describes different experimental and computational methods used to obtain these thermodynamic and kinetic parameters.

H2 metabolism is widespread and diverse among human colonic microbes
TL;DR: It is suggested that electron-bifurcation rather than respiration is the dominant mechanism of H2 reoxidation in the human colon, generating reduced ferredoxin to sustain carbon-fixation (e.g. acetogenesis) and respiration (via the Rnf complex).

Methane Production in Oxic Lake Waters Potentially Increases Aquatic Methane Flux to Air
TL;DR: Active methane production in oxygenated lake waters challenges the long-standing paradigm that microbial methane production occurs only under anoxic conditions and forces us to rethink the ecology and environmental dynamics of this powerful greenhouse gas as mentioned in this paper.
Metagenomic analysis reveals a dynamic microbiome with diversified adaptive functions to utilize high lignocellulosic forages in the cattle rumen.
Javad Gharechahi,Mohammad Farhad Vahidi,Mohammad Bahram,Jian-Lin Han,Xue Zhi Ding,Ghasem Hosseini Salekdeh +5 more
TL;DR: Differential colonization of forages by rumen microbiota suggests that taxonomic and metabolic diversification is an evolutionary adaptation to diverse lignocellulosic substrates constituting a major component of the cattle's diet.

Methanogenic archaea: ecologically relevant differences in energy conservation.
TL;DR: In methanogens with cytochromes, the first and last steps in methanogenesis from CO2 are coupled chemiosmotically, whereas in methenogens without cyto Chromes, these steps are energetically coupled by a cytoplasmic enzyme complex that mediates flavin-based electron bifurcation.
