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 ...
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 ...
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: ...
