Bacterial Diversity in the Human Gut
2004Publisher Summary The human digestive tract is colonized by highly complex microbial ecosystem containing vast numbers of bacteria that could be assigned to several hundred bacterial species. Bacterial colonization of the gut is affected by a wide variety of host, microbiological, environmental and dietary factors, as indicated in the chapter.

Bacterial Diversity at High Temperature
1976An increasing number of organisms which are able to grow at high temperature has been isolated during the last few years.Our purpose in this paper is to analyze their properties from a microbiological point of view. The discussion will only deal with thermophilic procaryotes to the exclusion of blue-green algae (Castenholz, 1969) and actinomycetes ...

Bacterial diversity associated with freshwater zooplankton
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2009Summary Bacterial community compositions (BCC) associated with the cladoceran Bosmina coregoni and the cyclopoid copepod Thermocyclops oithonoides in oligotrophic Lake Stechlin versus eutrophic Lake Dagow (northeastern Germany) were ...

A mouthful of bacterial diversity
Trends in Microbiology, 2000Extensive analyses of the bacterial flora living in our mouths have been carried out, primarily by cultivation in laboratory media. Using direct PCR amplification of 16s rDNA sequences present in tooth plaque, Relman and co-workers have now shown that many more bacterial species are present in this environment than was previously thought1xBacterial ...

Bacterial diversity in an industrial wastewater bioreactor
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2003Industrial wastewater bioreactors are potentially important sources of novel biocatalysts. However, the microbial populations in these bioreactors are not well characterized. The microbial community in an industrial wastewater bioreactor was surveyed by extracting DNA from a sample of activated sludge, followed by PCR amplification and sequencing of ...

Bacterial diversity in agroecosystems
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1999All life forms rely on bacterial processes for their survival. Bacterial diversity is greater than the diversity of any other group of organisms. Bacteria are responsible for diverse metabolic functions that affect soil and plant health. Nutrient cycling, organic matter formation and decomposition, soil structure formation, and plant growth promotion ...

The Diversity of Bacterial Chemosensing
2018Bacteria have a continuous and urgent need to inform themselves about the chemistry of their surroundings. They must rapidly adjust their patterns of gene expression, their metabolic and transport functions, and their behavior to cope with every challenge and opportunity with which they are presented.

Bacterial Diversity and Systematics
1994The proceedings of a symposium held under the auspices of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies, September 1993, in Granada, Spain, devoted to microbial identification. Such a topic could not be addressed without some reference to the enabling discipline of classification, but the ...

The Complexity of Microbial Diversity in Bacterial Vaginosis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2005The microbiologic cause of bacterial vaginosis has long eluded scientists, writes Sharon Hillier. The ecology of the vaginal microflora is influenced by several forces, thus challenging our understanding of the normal diversity of vaginal flora.

Evolution of bacterial denitrification and denitrifier diversity
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1983Little is known about the role of nitrate in evolution of bacterial energy-generating mechanisms. Denitrifying bacteria are commonly regarded to have evolved from nitrate-respiring bacteria. Some researchers regard denitrification to be the precursor of aerobic respiration; others feel the opposite is true.
