Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The recent discovery of atmospheric chemosynthesis has caused a paradigm shift in the way H2-oxidizing bacteria (HOB) are examined. The field has transitioned from the consideration of HOB as a specialized functional group benefiting from the energy potential of H2 for mixotrophic growth or persistence to a versatile group of bacteria using multiple trace gases. We discuss four life history strategies supported by H2, namely chemolithoautotrophic growth, mixotrophic growth, persistence, and atmospheric chemosynthesis. There is experimental evidence supporting the role of HOB in various ecosystem services beyond the uptake of H2 including, for instance, carbon cycling, plant growth promotion, and primary production. Decoupling between the intensity of HOB activation in soil and compositional change of microbial communities remains puzzling, highlighting our poor understanding of the ecological role of HOB. We call for new experimental approaches to delineate the interactions between HOB and the other members of the community. We propose a dedicated framework integrating life history strategies of HOB for mechanistic assessment of microbial interactions and processes supported by H2 in soil.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
