A culture-independent approach to unravel uncultured bacteria and functional genes in a complex microbial community [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Most microorganisms in nature are uncultured with unknown functionality. Sequence-based metagenomics alone answers 'who/what are there?' but not 'what are they doing and who is doing it and how?'.

Ultra-sensitive isotope probing to quantify activity and substrate assimilation in microbiomes

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2023
Background Stable isotope probing (SIP) approaches are a critical tool in microbiome research to determine associations between species and substrates, as well as the activity of species. The application of these approaches ranges from studying microbial

Identity of active methanotrophs in landfill cover soil as revealed by DNA-stable isotope probing [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2007
A considerable amount of methane produced during decomposition of landfill waste can be oxidized in landfill cover soil by methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The identity of active methanotrophs in Roscommon landfill cover soil, a slightly acidic peat soil, was assessed by DNA-stable ...

DNA-based stable isotope probing coupled with cultivation methods implicates Methylophaga in hydrocarbon degradation.

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria perform a fundamental role in the oxidation and ultimate removal of crude oil and its petrochemical derivatives in coastal and open ocean environments.

Genomic Features Predict Bacterial Life History Strategies in Soil, as Identified by Metagenomic Stable Isotope Probing

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Bacteria catalyze the formation and destruction of soil organic matter, but the bacterial dynamics in soil that govern carbon (C) cycling are not well understood.

Molecular Ecology of Isoprene-Degrading Bacteria

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Isoprene is a highly abundant biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) that is emitted to the atmosphere in amounts approximating to those of methane.

Oceanospirillales containing the DMSP lyase DddD are key utilisers of carbon from DMSP in coastal seawater

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2022
Background Ubiquitous and diverse marine microorganisms utilise the abundant organosulfur molecule dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), the main precursor of the climate-active gas dimethylsulfide (DMS), as a source of carbon, sulfur and/or signalling ...

Identification of Benzo[a]pyrene-metabolizing bacteria in forest soils by using DNA-based stable-isotope probing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
DNA-based stable-isotope probing (DNA-SIP) was used in this study to investigate the uncultivated bacteria with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) metabolism capacities in two Chinese forest soils (Mt. Maoer in Heilongjiang Province and Mt. Baicaowa in Hubei Province).

Organic Matter Micro-Interfaces Change Glyphosate Partitioning and Alter Active Glyphosate Degraders in Soils

open access: yesAgriculture
Soil microorganisms are responsible for natural glyphosate dissipation. However, previous studies have largely focused on bulk soils, and the underlying microscale mechanisms remain poorly resolved.

Identification of diverse antibiotic resistant bacteria in agricultural soil with H2 18O stable isotope probing combined with high-throughput sequencing

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiome, 2023
Background We aimed to identify bacteria able to grow in the presence of several antibiotics including the ultra-broad-spectrum antibiotic meropenem in a British agricultural soil by combining DNA stable isotope probing (SIP) with high throughput ...
