Correlating microbial community profiles with geochemical data in highly stratified sediments from the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge [PDF]
Microbial communities and their associated metabolic activity in marine sediments have a profound impact on global biogeochemical cycles. Their composition and structure are attributed to geochemical and physical factors, but finding direct correlations ...

Differential Functional Constraints Cause Strain-Level Endemism in Polynucleobacter Populations. [PDF]
The adaptation of bacterial lineages to local environmental conditions creates the potential for broader genotypic diversity within a species, which can enable a species to dominate across ecological gradients because of niche flexibility.

DIAGNOSIS OF BACTEREMIA USING UNIVERSAL PCR IN FEBRILE ILL CHILDREN [PDF]
Early diagnosis of bacteremia and its complications is the most important part of care and management of the febrile patients. However, a majority of patients who appear to be clinically septic have negative blood culture.

Multiplex-PCR protocol development for rapid screening of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp
This study was aimed to develop a faster single step multiplex PCR protocol for the simultaneous detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) with its host (i.e. shrimp) as internal positive control. To do so, four combinations of primer were tested (I.

Quantifying microbial utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons in salt-marsh sediments using the ^(13)C content of bacterial rRNA [PDF]
Natural remediation of oil spills is catalyzed by complex microbial consortia. Here we take a whole-community approach to investigate bacterial incorporation of petroleum hydrocarbons from a simulated oil spill.

Tertiary-Treated Municipal Wastewater is a Significant Point Source of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Into Duluth-Superior Harbor [PDF]
In this study, the impact of tertiary-treated municipal wastewater on the quantity of several antibiotic resistance determinants in Duluth-Superior Harbor was investigated by collecting surface water and sediment samples from 13 locations in Duluth ...

The role of 16S rRNA has been and largely remains crucial for the identification of microbial organisms. Although 16S rRNA could certainly be described as one of the most studied sequences ever, the current view of it remains somewhat ambiguous.
