The microbial metabolism of benzene and crude oil under diverse anaerobic conditions.
(2000)
The research reported here expands the range of knowledge for anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolism, as well as provides a sound foundation for the microbial destruction of compounds once thought to be completely recalcitrant ...
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 ...
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: ...
