Novelty and uniqueness patterns of rare members of the soil biosphere
(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 ...
Influence of the drilling mud formulation process on the bacterial communities in thermogenic natural gas wells of the Barnett Shale
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07)
The Barnett Shale in north central Texas contains natural gas generated by high temperatures (120 to 150°C) during the Mississippian Period (300 to 350 million years ago). In spite of the thermogenic origin of this gas, ...
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 ...
