AbstractFew aerobic hyperthermophilic microorganisms degrade polysaccharides. Here, we describe the genome-enabled enrichment and optical tweezer-based isolation of an aerobic polysaccharide-degrading hyperthermophile, Fervidibacter sacchari, previously ascribed to candidate phylum Fervidibacteria. F.

AbstractThe North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research (NTL-LTER) program has been extensively used to improve understanding of how aquatic ecosystems respond to environmental stressors, climate fluctuations, and human activities. Here, we report on the metagenomes of samples collected between 2000 and 2019 from Lake Mendota, a freshwater eutrophic lake within the NTL-LTER site.

Microorganisms have evolved over billions of years and are the most abundant and diverse group of cellular organisms on Earth. Their evolutionary and ecological significance is immense, as they have shaped the evolutionary trajectory of life and have crucial roles in biogeochemical processes across ecosystems.

Compilation of MAGs and SAGsGenomes used in this study and their provenance are summarized in Supplementary Table 1. Newly generated MAGs originated from geothermal environments (Tengchong, Yunnan Province, China; Beatty, Nevada, USA; British Columbia, Canada; and Guaymas Basin, Mexico), freshwater lakes (Powell Lake, British Columbia, Canada; Lake Kivu, Rwanda; Lake Alinen Mustajärvi, Finland) and wastewater (Apeldoorn, the Netherlands).
