Assessment of the diversity, abundance, and ecological distribution of members of candidate division SR1 reveals a high level of phylogenetic diversity but limited morphotypic diversity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-06)We used a combination of 16S rRNA gene clone library surveys, quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis, and fluorescent in situ hybridization to investigate the diversity, abundance, and distribution of members of candidate division ... -
Biodegradation of benzene by halophilic and halotolerant bacteria under aerobic condition
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004-02)A highly enriched halophilic culture was established with benzene as the sole carbon source by using a brine soil obtained from an oil production facility in Oklahoma. The enrichment completely degraded benzene, toluene, ... -
Forest floor depth mediates understory vigor in xeric Pinus palustris ecosystems
(Ecological Society of America, 2007)Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) woodlands and savannas are among the most frequently burned ecosystems in the world with fire return intervals of 1-10 years. This fire regime has maintained high levels of biodiversity in ... -
Microbial community structure in petroleum-contaminated sediments corresponds to geophysical signatures
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-05)The interdependence between geoelectrical signatures at underground petroleum plumes and the structures of subsurface microbial communities was investigated. For sediments contaminated with light non-aqueous-phase liquids, ... -
Phylogenetic diversities and community structure of members of the extremely halophilic Archaea (order Halobacteriales) in multiple saline sediment habitats
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-03)We investigated the phylogenetic diversity and community structure of members of the halophilic Archaea (order Halobacteriales) in five distinct sediment habitats that experience various levels of salinity and salinity ... -
Study of the response of a biofilm bacterial community to UV radiation
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999-05)We have developed a bioluminescent whole-cell biosensor that can be incorporated into biofilm ecosystems. RM4440 is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa FRD1 derivative that carries a plasmid-based recA-luxCDABE fusion. We immobilized ...
