We then provide an overview of the global selenium biogeochemicalcycle, emphasizing the central role of microorganisms in the cycle.

As with the sulfur biogeochemicalcycle, reductive transformations of selenium serve two metabolic functions: assimilation into macromolecules and dissimilatory reduction during anaerobic respiration.
3
The study is published in the latest issue of Global BiogeochemicalCycle.
4
They are, thus, a key determinant of the most important biogeochemicalcycles in the planet.
5
Oceans are powered by metabolically-active microorganisms which are main drivers of global biogeochemicalcycles on Earth.
6
Microorganisms play a major role in biogeochemicalcycles.
7
How this oceanographic background shapes planktonic populations is largely unknown, despite the significance of this region for global biogeochemicalcycles.
8
Prokaryotes in coastal sediments are fundamental players in the ecosystem functioning and regulate processes relevant in the global biogeochemicalcycles.
9
Prokaryotes are the most abundant and diverse group of microorganisms in soil and mediate virtually all biogeochemicalcycles in terrestrial ecosystems.
10
Background: Soil bacteria are important drivers for nearly all biogeochemicalcycles in terrestrial ecosystems and participate in most nutrient transformations in soil.
11
These effects include those on human health, air quality, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, biogeochemicalcycles, and materials used in construction and other services.
12
They play critical roles in regulating biogeochemicalcycles and vegetation dynamics within and across landscapes and are an indicator of soil biological activity.
13
Recent studies have demonstrated that rare species can have an over-proportional role in biogeochemicalcycles and may be a hidden driver of microbiome function.
