(2020-06-12)
Juniperus virginiana L. (eastern red cedar) is a species of interest throughout North America as a result of its rapid encroachment into historic grasslands, but the effects of nurse trees on J. virginiana seedling recruitment ...
Phenotypic, Chemotaxonomic and Genomic Characterization of a Novel Anaerobic Acetogen, Clostridium muelleri sp. nov. P21T Isolated from Old Hay
(2020-05)
Acetogens are a group of obligately anaerobic bacteria that use the Wood-Ljungdahl (acetyl-CoA) pathway for the production of acetyl-CoA from 2 moles of CO2. Acetyl-CoA is then converted to various acids and alcohols such ...
