Genome Sequence of Thermoanaerobaculum aquaticum MP-01T, the First Cultivated Member of Acidobacteria Subdivision 23, Isolated from a Hot Spring
(2014-05)
Thermoanaerobaculum aquaticum MP-01T is currently the only cultivated and described member of Acidobacteria subdivision 23. Here, we report the genome sequence for this novel microorganism that was isolated from a hot spring.
THE ANAEROBIC MICROBIAL METABOLISM OF ENERGY SUBSTRATES: AN EXPLORATION INTO COALBED METHANOGENESIS, THE BIODETERIORATION OF DIESEL FUEL, AND BIOCORROSION
(2013-12)
Under anaerobic conditions the complete mineralization of energy substrate can be achieved by specialized individual microorganisms or through syntrophic partnerships involving bacteria and archaea that ultimately convert ...
Impact of Photooxidation and Biodegradation on the Fate of the Oil Spilled During the Deepwater Horizon Incident: The Advanced Stages of Weathering
(2016-12)
The major biogeochemical forces influencing the environmental fate of spilled oil have been intensively investigated for many decades. The sinking and burying of spilled residual oil to form large mats that subsequently ...
An Assessment of Microbial Communities and Their Potential Activities Associated with Oil Producing Environments
(2015-06)
Microbial populations have been found in oil-associated environments as early as the 1920s. The proliferation and metabolic activities of these microorganisms can have profound deleterious effects on the infrastructure ...
Sequencing of Multiple Clostridial Genomes Related to Biomass Conversion and Biofuel Production
(2010-12)
Modern methods to develop microbe-based biomass conversion processes require a system-level understanding of the microbes involved. Clostridium species have long been recognized as ideal candidates for processes involving ...
METAGENOMIC INSIGHTS INTO MICROBIAL COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO LONG-TERM ELEVATED CO2
(2014)
Understanding how belowground microbial communities respond to increasing atmospheric CO2 is of crucial importance for global change biology, microbial ecology and predictive biology. However, our understanding of CO2 ...
Responses of Terrestrial Biogeochemical Cycles to Global Change – Syntheses and Data-Model Integration
(2016-12)
Global observations and model simulations show that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and surface temperatures have been and will keep increasing. These environmental changes have significant influences on ...
Unprecedented high-resolution view of bacterial operon architecture revealed by RNA sequencing
(2014-07-08)
We analyzed the transcriptome of Escherichia coli K-12 by strand-specific RNA sequencing at single-nucleotide resolution during steady-state (logarithmic-phase) growth and upon entry into stationary phase in glucose minimal ...
Enzyme systems involved in interspecies hydrogen and formate transfer between syntrophic fatty and aromatic acid degraders and Methanospirillum hungatei
(2013)
The oxidation of either the fatty acid butyrate or the aromatic acid benzoate is essential for the efficient degradation of complex organic material to methane because they are central intermediates. The oxidation of ...
ENHANCING ALCOHOL PRODUCTION IN CLOSTRIDIUM CARBOXIDIVORANS STRAIN P7T AND THE ROLE OF TANDEM ADH GENES
(2014)
Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 is one of three microbial catalysts capable of fermenting synthesis gas (mainly CO, CO2 and H2) to produce the liquid biofuels ethanol and butanol. Gasification of feedstocks to produce ...
