Edward Jenner: The Mystery of the Milkmaids
(2017-08)
Edward Jenner was a physician in the eighteenth and nineteenth century who studied the disease known as cowpox. Traditional medical knowledge demonstrated that milkmaids who contracted the disease cowpox became immune to ...
Genes required for sediment fitness in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20.
(2007)
97 genes required for sediment fitness of G20 were identified and the identification of chemotaxis genes validated our STM screening method since it would be expected to enhance sediment fitness. The growth of these sediment ...
MICROBIOLOGICALLY INFLUENCED CORROSION OF CARBON STEEL IN SULFIDOGENIC ENVIRONMENTS: THE LINK TO THIOSULFATE REDUCTION AND BIOLOGICAL STABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS
(2015-12)
Biocorrosion or microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) refers to the mutiple underlying mechanisms wherein microbial activity directly or indirectly enhances the corrosion of metallic and non-metallic materials. ...
Iron uptake in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
(2006)
Bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, utilize iron sources from the environment. Iron uptake systems in Gram-negative bacteria are well studied. Escherichia coli FepA transports certain catecholate ...
Assessing the influence of physical and chemical properties of sediments on microbial distribution and activity in the terrestrial subsurface.
(2005)
To maximize the possibility for success, accurate assessment of the distribution and activity of microorganisms in the subsurface is essential for implementing bioremediation strategies at contaminated sites. It is clear ...
Molecular Methods for the Analysis of Gut Microbiota
(2004)
This review focuses on methodological approaches used to study the composition of human faecal microbiota. Gene sequencing is the most accurate tool for revealing the phylogenetic relationships between bacteria. The main ...
Magnetic minerals: Understanding the processes of formation in soils and clays and identifying their presence in the rock record.
(2001)
This work presents results of biological formation of magnetite under a variety of laboratory conditions in a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil profile. Magnetite was formed only in biological samples but not in the abiotic: ...
Culture-independent characterization of methane-oxidizing microbial communities in unexplored extreme environments
(2021-08-05)
Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas in atmosphere. With increasing emissions and more effective in trapping heat than CO2, it contributes up to ~20% of total global warming. Methanotrophs playing a critical ...
BIOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE THREE-WAY JUNCTION IN PHI29-LIKE BACTERIOPHAGE PROHEAD RNA
(2017-08-18)
The knowledge gained from biophysical studies of RNA can contribute to basic research and inform new directions for translational research. In particular, information that develops the relationships among RNA energetics, ...
