Thiosulfate Reduction in Halanaerobium: A Genomic and Physiological Investigation
(2017-12-06)
Bacteria that produce sulfide have been investigated for their role in corrosion of steel surfaces. Attention has mainly focused on bacteria able to reduce sulfate to sulfide (SRB). However, bacteria that produce sulfide ...
SHIFTS OF SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES IN ALASKAN TUNDRA IN RESPONSE TO LONG-TERM WARMING
(2016-08)
Permafrost regions store about 33% of the world’s soil organic carbon, and are believed to rapidly respond to global warming. The degradation and release of previously stored organic carbon stocks lead to positive feedbacks, ...
Cell Wall Alterations During Lateral Root Emergence in Oryza Sativa
(2016)
In rice seedlings, lateral roots (LRs) develop through several layers of extant tissues, including multiple cortex cell layers, as well as single files of sclerenchyma, exodermis, and epidermal cells. In contrast to typical ...
Impact of Photooxidation and Biodegradation on the Fate of the Oil Spilled During the Deepwater Horizon Incident: The Advanced Stages of Weathering
(2016-12)
The major biogeochemical forces influencing the environmental fate of spilled oil have been intensively investigated for many decades. The sinking and burying of spilled residual oil to form large mats that subsequently ...
RECLASSIFICATION OF CLOSTRIDIUM CLUSTER XVIII AND DESCRIPTION OF THREE NOVEL TAXA WITHIN THE GRAM-POSITIVE ANAEROBIC COCCI
(2018-07-06)
Current taxonomic classification approaches employ a polyphasic approach to characterize novel species. Most study morphological and biochemical characteristics along with chemotaxonomic characteristics to aid in the general ...
A Semi-Continuous System for Monitoring Microbially Influenced Corrosion
(2018)
Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC), also known as biocorrosion, has significant impacts on the environment and economy. Typical systems to study biocorrosion are either dynamic (once-through flow) or static (serum ...
Herbivory, not soil nitrogen, alters grassland plant community structure and decomposition
(2016-12)
Human activity has shifted grazing and nitrogen (N) altering plant community structure worldwide. Plant community changes are expected to alter associated ecosystem functions (e.g., plant litter decomposition). Few studies ...
Functional Analysis of Duplicated NF-YB Genes in Photoperiod-Dependent Flowering
(2018-05)
The heterotrimeric transcription factor NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) regulates photoperiod-dependent flowering and is composed of NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC subunits. In higher plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, whole genome ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF FUNGAL CONTAMINANTS IN B20 BIODIESEL STORAGE TANKS AND THEIR EFFECT ON FUEL COMPOSITION
(2016-08)
The liquid transportation fuel B20 biodiesel is an 80:20 blend of petroleum-derived
ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and biodiesel. Although B20 biodiesel represents a
fungible fuel with a reduced carbon footprint compared ...
The role of Gammaproteobacteria in aerobic alkane degradation in oilfield production water from the Barnett Shale
(2017-12)
Despite nearly a century’s worth of research focused on investigating the activities of microorganisms in petroleum production systems, a large gap in the literature exists on the role of heterotrophic microorganisms in ...
