Abstract Anaerobic degradation of complex organic compounds to methane and carbon dioxide is common in the deep subsurface biosphere and has long been considered to require syntrophic cooperation, with methanogens confined to the terminal use of simple C1 and C2 substrates. Thermodynamic considerations, multi-omics analyses and microcosm experiments suggest that archaeal lineages are capable of methanogenic degradation of complex substrates1,2,3,4,5,6.

Abstract : Simple Summary The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) recently has been extensively used in evolutionary analyses. The superfamily Certhioidea is a highly diverse group within the passerine clade, and the phylogeny of this group is still controversial. To date, few studies have focused on the mitogenome evolution of Certhioidea. In the present study, we provided six new complete mitogenomes of Certhioidea.
