The interactions of microbial communities in these environments are highly complex and still poorly understood. This work aimed to assess publicly available metagenomes from oil reservoirs and implement a robust pipeline of genome-resolved metagenomics to decipher metabolic and taxonomic profiles of petroleum reservoirs worldwide. Analysis of 301.2 Gb of metagenomic information derived from heavily flooded petroleum reservoirs in China and Alaska to non-flooded petroleum reservoirs in Brazil enabled us to reconstruct 148 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of high and medium quality. At the phylum level, 74% of MAGs belonged to bacteria and 26% to archaea. The profiles of these MAGs were related to the physicochemical parameters and recovery management applied. -

The reservoir and crude oil properties together with the aqueous phase chemical concentration characteristics were listed in Table 1. P1 represents the sample collected from Zhan3-26 well located in Shengli Oilfield. Zhan3 block region in Shengli Oilfield is located in the coastal area from the Yellow River Estuary to the Bohai Sea. It is a medium-high temperature reservoir of fluvial face, made of a thin layer of crossed sand-mudstones, pebbled sandstones and fine sandstones. P2 represents the sample collected from Ba-51 well, which is located in Bayindulan reservoir layer of Erlian Basin, east Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a reservoir with highly heterogeneous layers, high crude oil viscosity and low formation fluid temperature. It was dedicated to water-flooding, however, due to low permeability and high viscosity of crude oil, displacement efficiency of water-flooding driving process was slowed down along the increase of water-cut rate. -

We 17 are still unsure of the first colonizers of these environments and their metabolism, but they are 18 thought to be (hyper)thermophilic autotrophs. Here we investigate whether the electric potential 19 observed across hydrothermal chimneys could serve as an energy source for these first colonizers. 20 Experiments were performed in a two-chamber microbial electrochemical system inoculated with 21 deep-sea hydrothermal chimney samples, with a cathode as sole electron donor, CO2 as sole 22 carbon source, and three different electron acceptors (nitrate, sulfate, and oxygen). -

Strain AEDII12DO is the type strain of the species and was isolated from a shallow marine hydrothermal system at Vulcano, Italy. It is a hyperthermophilic, anaerobic chemoli- thoautotroph, but it can also use a variety of aromatic compounds as electron donors. Here we describe the features of this organism together with the complete genome sequence and anno- tation. The 2,196,266 bp genome with its 2,567 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes was se- quenced as part of a DOE Joint Genome Institute Laboratory Sequencing Program (LSP) project.
