Evidence for a complete denitrification in a benthic foraminifer

Article Abstract:

A demonstration that the foraminifer Globobulimina pseudospinescens accumulates intracellular nitrate stores and that these could be respired to dinitrogen gas is presented. The high abundance of foraminfera in anoxic marine environments has indicated that foraminifera play an important role in global nitrogen cycling.

Methanotrophic symbionts provide carbon for photosynthesis in peat bogs

Article Abstract:

The submerged Sphagnum mosses, the dominant plants, consume methane through symbiosis with partly endophytic methanotrophic bacteria, leading to highly effective in situ methane recycling. The symbiosis explains both the efficient recycling of the methane and the high organic carbon burial in the wetland ecosystems.
