Comparison of species richness estimates obtained using nearly complete fragments and simulated pyrosequencing-generated fragments in 16S rRNA gene-based environmental surveys
Youssef, Noha; Sheik, Cody S.; Krumholz, Lee R.; Najar, Fares Z.; Roe, Bruce A.; Elshahed, Mostafa S. (American Society for Microbiology, 2009-08)Pyrosequencing-based 16S rRNA gene surveys are increasingly utilized to study highly diverse bacterial communities, with special emphasis on utilizing the large number of sequences obtained (tens to hundreds of thousands) ... -
Genome of the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A reveals the unique evolutionary history of a remarkable plant biomass degrader
Youssef, Noha H.; Couger, M. B.; Struchtemeyer, Christopher G.; Liggenstoffer, Audra S.; Prade, Rolf A.; Najar, Fares Z.; Atiyeh, Hasan K.; Wilkins, Mark R.; Elshahed, Mostafa S. (American Society for Microbiology, 2013-08)Anaerobic gut fungi represent a distinct early-branching fungal phylum (Neocallimastigomycota) and reside in the rumen, hindgut, and feces of ruminant and nonruminant herbivores. The genome of an anaerobic fungal isolate, ... -
Novelty and uniqueness patterns of rare members of the soil biosphere
Elshahed, Mostafa S.; Youssef, Noha H.; Spain, Anne M.; Sheik, Cody; Najar, Fares Z.; Sukharnikov, Leonid O.; Roe, Bruce A.; Davis, James P.; Schloss, Patrick D.; Bailey, Vanessa L.; Krumholz, Lee R. (American Society for Microbiology, 2008-09)Soil bacterial communities typically exhibit a distribution pattern in which most bacterial species are present in low abundance. Due to the relatively small size of most culture-independent sequencing surveys, a detailed ... -
Phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of Planctomycetes from anaerobic, sulfide- and sulfur-rich Zodletone Spring, Oklahoma
Elshahed, Mostafa S.; Youssef, Noha H.; Luo, Qingwei; Najar, Fares Z.; Roe, Bruce A.; Sisk, Tracy M.; Buhring, Solveig I.; Hinrichs, Kai-Uwe; Krumholz, Lee R. (American Society for Microbiology, 2007-08)We investigated the phylogenetic diversity and metabolic capabilities of members of the phylum Planctomycetes in the anaerobic, sulfide-saturated sediments of a mesophilic spring (Zodletone Spring) in southwestern Oklahoma. ...
