Introduction Alcanivorax , a typical alkane-degrading bacterium, has demonstrated the ability to utilize inorganic electron donor in some reports. However, a comprehensive analysis of its potentiality to utilize inorganic electron donor is still lacking. Methods In this study, genomic and phylogenetic analyzes were used to explore the potential oxidative capacity of inorganic compounds in Alcanivorax . And its functions were v...

Microbes are thought to be distributed and circulated around the world, but the connection between marine and terrestrial microbiomes remains largely unknown. We use Plantibacter , a representative genus associated with plants, as our research model to investigate the global distribution and adaptation of plant‐related bacteria in plant‐free environments, particularly in the remote Southern Ocean and the deep Atlantic Ocean.
