On December 22, Nature published a research paper entitled "Non-syntrophic methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation by an archaeal species" from the team of Professor Li Meng of Shenzhen University
    .

    "Model Worker in Bacteria": "Eat" Petroleum to Produce Methane This study obtained a new type of methanogenic archaea (Candidatus Methanoliparum) through long-term enrichment and cultivation of samples from the Shengli Oilfield
    .

    Through fluorescence in situ hybridization, stable carbon isotope labeling culture, metagenomic and macrotranscriptome sequencing, high-resolution mass spectrometry and other analysis results, it is proved that Ca.
    Methanoliparum can directly oxidize long-chain alkyl hydrocarbons, and through β-oxidation, Wood-Ljungdahl The pathway enters the metabolism of methanogenesis, and does not need to be completed through mutual metabolism
    .

    Figure 1 Archaea degraded long-chain alkyl hydrocarbons to produce methanogenesis and related metabolic pathways.
    Archaea's "Sage of the Universe" is coming to April 28.
    The research group published a titled "Diversity of Asgard Archaea" in Nature.
    And its relationship with eukaryotes" research article
    .

    The study found six new Asgard archaeal phylums in samples from China’s coastal wetlands and offshore sediments to the western Pacific abyss
    .

    Among them, a new branch of ancient Asgard archaea was named Wukong Archaeota after the Monkey King "Monkey King" in the Chinese classic "Journey to the West"
    .

    The picture shows the phylogenetic analysis of the Asgard archaea superfamily (the red in the picture is our newly named 7 phylums), the picture on the right shows the cartoon character image analysis showing that Wukong archaea has the potential for autotrophic metabolism of the chemical energy of hydrogen.
    , Which is significantly different from other Asgard archaea's mixed nutrition or heterotrophic metabolism mode, which is why it is named a Chinese mythical figure
    .

    Professor Li Meng introduced Li Meng, a distinguished professor and doctoral supervisor of Shenzhen University Institute for Advanced Study
    .

    He received his Ph.
    D.
    degree from the University of Hong Kong in 2011.
    In 2016, he was selected as the National Distinguished Young Talents, and was approved by the National Foundation of China "Outstanding Youth" Science Fund Project.
    In 2020, he won the 6th Chinese Ecological Society Youth Science and Technology Award
    .

    Mainly engaged in the biological research of environmental archaea.
    In recent years, he has made a series of achievements in the discovery of new groups of archaea in terms of its ecological functions
    .

    He has presided over dozens of national, provincial and municipal scientific research projects, and published more than 90 articles in Nature, Nature Microbiology, Nature Communications, The ISME Journal, Microbiome and other journals as the corresponding author or the first author, and the articles have been cited nearly 4000 times.
