Aerobic proteobacterial methylotrophs in Movile Cave: genomic and metagenomic analyses

Abstract Background Movile Cave (Mangalia, Romania) is a unique ecosystem where the food web is sustained by microbial primary production, analogous to deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Specifically, chemoautotrophic microbes deriving energy from the oxidation of hydrogen sulphide and methane form the ba...
