Metagenome of a Versatile Chemolithoautotroph from Expanding Oceanic Dead Zones
Open accessAbstract
Life in Dead Zones: Oxygen minimum zones, or oceanic “dead zones,” are expanding. Marine dead zone expansion and intensification results in amplification of biological nitrogen and greenhouse gas production, with implications for marine fisheries' productivity and for climate balance. Little is known about the microbial communities mediating the underlying biogeochemistry of dead zones. Walsh et al. (p. 578 ) present metagenomic analyses of a ubiquitous, abundant, and uncultivated bacterium in oceanic dead zones. Similar bacteria, related to chemoautotrophic gill symbionts of deep-sea clams and mussels, play a role in sulfide detoxification in African shelf waters. Reconstruction of the carbon and energy metabolism of this enigmatic lineage revealed a metabolic repertoire mediating carbon sequestration, sulfur-detoxification, and biological nitrogen loss in oxygen-deficient oceanic waters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
