AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSURFACE GEOCHEMISTRY ON MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES IN AN UNCONFINED CONTAMINATED AQUIFER
(2018)
Microorganisms account for ~ 90 gigatons of carbon in terms of global biomass and are important drivers of elemental cycling especially in oligotrophic subsurface environments. Subsurface ecosystems remain poorly characterized ...
SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE RESOLUTION VIEW OF GENE EXPRESSION IN ESCHERICHIA COLI K-12 UNDER VARIOUS PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
(2015-05-08)
We analyzed the transcriptome of Escherichia coli K-12 by strand-specific RNA sequencing at single-nucleotide resolution during logarithmic- growth and upon entry into stationary phase under carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate ...
FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS STUDIES OF CLOSTRIDIUM CELLULOLYTICUM FOR LIGNOCELLULOSE BIOCONVERSION
(2016-12)
The astonishing consumption of fossil fuels arouses serious concerns over energy security and environmental sustainability. Lignocellulosic biofuel, as a sustainable and carbon-neutral energy that can be produced from ...
THE IMPACT OF LONG-TERM ELEVATED ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE ON BELOWGROUND MICROBIAL COMMUNITY AT CONTRAST NITROGEN CONDITIONS
(2017-12)
Global terrestrial ecosystems are subjected to various climate change factors, including the concurrent elevated CO2 (eCO2) and nitrogen deposition (eN). Despite the increasing appreciation that eCO2 and eN can interactively ...
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 ...
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. ...
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, ...
