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.

Overcoming organic and nitrogen overload in thermophilic anaerobic digestion of pig slurry by coupling a microbial electrolysis cell [PDF]
The combination of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process with a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) coupled to an ammonia stripping unit as a post-treatment was assessed both in series operation, to improve the quality of the effluent, and in loop ...

An overview on the interplay between nutraceuticals and gut microbiota [PDF]
Background Nowadays, growing attention was being given to the alternative ways to prevent or treat diseases. Nutraceuticals are used increasingly for this purpose. Many of these are being used as alternative therapy. Classic therapy with synthetic drugs,

Diverse mechanisms regulate sporulation sigma factor activity in the Firmicutes [PDF]
Sporulation allows bacteria to survive adverse conditions and is essential to the lifecycle of some obligate anaerobes. In Bacillus subtilis, the sporulation-specific sigma factors, σ(F), σ(E), σ(G), and σ(K), activate compartment-specific transcriptional programs that drive sporulation through its morphological stages.

A Molecular Biology Tool Kit for the Phototrophic Firmicute Heliobacterium modesticaldum [PDF]
Heliobacteria are anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria with the simplest known photosynthetic apparatus. They are unique in using bacteriochlorophyllgas their main pigment and lacking a peripheral antenna system. Until now, research on this organism has been hampered by the lack of a genetic transformation system.

Obesity and intestinal microbiota
A review of modern literature on the role of intestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis of obesity is presented. New ways of influence of intestinal microbiota and products of its fermentation on metabolism are considered: through imbalance of Firmicutes ...
