Berg et al. (Reports, 14 December 2007, p. 1782) reported the discovery of an autotrophic carbon dioxide-fixation pathway in Archaea and implicated a substantial role of this pathway in global carbon cycling based on sequence analysis of Global Ocean Sampling data. We question the validity of the latter claim.
伯格等人(《报告》,2007年12月14日,第1782页)报告了在古生菌中发现一种自养二氧化碳固定途径,并基于全球海洋采样数据的序列分析暗示该途径在全球碳循环中起重要作用。我们对后一种说法的有效性提出质疑。
