Early inflorescence development in the grasses (Poaceae)
(Frontiers Media, 2013-07-23)
The shoot apical meristem of grasses produces the primary branches of the inflorescence, controlling inflorescence architecture and hence seed production. Whereas leaves are produced in a distichous pattern, with the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Novel high-rank phylogenetic lineages within a sulfur spring (Zodletone Spring, Oklahoma), revealed using a combined pyrosequencing-Sanger approach
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-04-15)
The utilization of high-throughput sequencing technologies in 16S rRNA gene-based diversity surveys has indicated that within most ecosystems, a significant fraction of the community could not be assigned to known microbial ...
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 ...
Genome of Diuraphis noxia, a global aphid pest of small grains
(BioMed Central, 2015-06-05)
Background: The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia Kurdjumov, is one of the most important pests of small grains throughout the temperate regions of the world. This phytotoxic aphid causes severe systemic damage symptoms ...
Partial genome assembly for a candidate division OP11 single cell from an anoxic spring (Zodletone Spring, Oklahoma)
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-11)
Members of candidate division OP11 are widely distributed in terrestrial and marine ecosystems, yet little information regarding their metabolic capabilities and ecological role within such habitats is currently available. ...
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, ...
Prevalence and genotypes of Anaplasma species and habitat suitability for ticks in a Mediterranean ecosystem
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-12)
Anaplasma species are tick-transmitted pathogens that impact veterinary and human health. Sicily is one of the locations where these pathogens are endemic. Sicily represents a typical Mediterranean ecosystem to study ...
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, ...
