The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The microbial nitrogen-cycling network (2018, background): “Dissimilatory nitrate reduction can be coupled to the oxidation of electron donors such as organic matter 65 , methane 66, 67 (for example, in Candidatus Methanoperedens spp.), sulfur compounds (for example, in Thiobacillus denitrificans 68 ); H 2 (for example, in Alcaligenes eutrophus ) or iron…”
Major New Microbial Groups Expand Diversity and Alter our Understanding of the Tree of Life. (2018, positive): “Others are predicted to conduct reverse methanogenesis using nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor, and this has been experimentally demonstrated using bioreactors and 13C and 15N labeling (Haroon et al., 2013).”
CheckM: assessing the quality of microbial genomes recovered from isolates, single cells, and metagenomes (2015, background): “…such as N50 (Salzberg et al. 2012; Gurevich et al. 2013), whereas singlecell and metagenomic studies have relied on the presence and absence of universal single-copy “marker” genes for estimating genome completeness (Wrighton et al. 2012; Haroon et al. 2013; Rinke et al. 2013; Sharon et al. 2013).”
Soil microbiomes with distinct assemblies through vertical soil profiles drive the cycling of multiple nutrients in reforested ecosystems (2018, background): “Various microbial groups prefer different growth conditions, with substantial differences in their habit and dispersal capability [38, 49].”
