Functional Gene Composition, Diversity and Redundancy in Microbial Stream Biofilm Communities
(PLos One, 2015-04-07)
We surveyed the functional gene composition and diversity of microbial biofilm communities in 18 New Zealand streams affected by different types of catchment land use, using a comprehensive functional gene array, GeoChip ...
Fruit and Soil Quality of Organic and Conventional Strawberry Agroecosystems
(PLos One, 2010-09-01)
BackgroundSale of organic foods is one of the fastest growing market segments within the global food industry. People often buy organic food because they believe organic farms produce more nutritious and better tasting ...
First Investigation of the Microbiology of the Deepest Layer of Ocean Crust
(PLos One, 2010-11-05)
The gabbroic layer comprises the majority of ocean crust. Opportunities to sample this expansive crustal environment are rare because of the technological demands of deep ocean drilling; thus, gabbroic microbial communities ...
The Composition and Spatial Patterns of Bacterial Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in 19 Wastewater Treatment Plants
(PLos One, 2016-12-01)
Bacterial pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance are of concern for environmental safety and public health. Accumulating evidence suggests that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are as an important sink and source of ...
Microbial Community Dynamics and Activity Link to Indigo Production from Indole in Bioaugmented Activated Sludge Systems
(PLos One, 2015-09-15)
Biosynthesis of the popular dyestuff indigo from indole has been comprehensively studied using pure cultures, but less has been done to characterize the indigo production by microbial communities. In our previous studies, ...
