ATP synthesis driven by atmospheric hydrogen concentrations | PNAS All cells require a continuous supply of the universal energy currency, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to drive countless cellular reactions. The un...

Our article showing energy production from air alone is in PNAS today. This paper provides an ultimate biochemical proof that microbes can survive simply by 'making' energy from air (making two ATP per molecule atmospheric H2 consumed) and has biotech applications. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Yes, having a spirit of reconciliation is a way forward. There is hope to mitigate the aggressiveness of those who have not wanted to understand!
Thanks MIRRI @pravrahi.bsky.social & thanks @seqcode.bsky.social for the against-stream efforts! 💪🏽

Microbial species and intraspecies units exist and are maintained by ecological cohesiveness coupled to high homologous recombination - Nature Communications Microbial communities are predominantly composed of species and intraspecies units, but the mechanisms behind the formation and persistence of these units are unclear. Here, the authors provide experi...

Microbial species? OK, but... how?

Ecological cohesiveness, coupled to unbiased horizontal gene flow, may account for the observed species and intraspecies clusters

The value of long-term ecological research for evolutionary insights - Nature Ecology & Evolution This Perspective discusses using long-term ecological research networks to advance our understanding of fundamental evolutionary processes and evolutionary responses to global change.

Long-term ecological #research projects apart from being highly demanding, it deserves extra respect from the scientific community; funding agencies should consider the benefits of such projects
