Bacterial community structure and diversity in a century-old manure-treated agroecosystem
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004-10)
Changes in soil microbial community structure and diversity may reflect environmental impact. We examined 16S rRNA gene fingerprints of bacterial communities in six agroecosystems by PCR amplification and denaturing gradient ...
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, ...
