Using metatranscriptomics to better understand the role of microbial nitrogen cycling in coastal sediment benthic flux denitrification efficiency

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 308-323, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Spatial and temporal variability in benthic flux denitrification efficiency occurs across Port Phillip Bay, Australia. Here, we assess the capacity for untargeted metatranscriptomics to resolve spatiotemporal differences in the microbial contribution to benthic nitrogen cycling.

Meta-16S rRNA Gene Phylogenetic Reconstruction Reveals the Astonishing Diversity of Cosmopolitan Myxobacteria

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2019
Numerous ecological studies on myxobacteria have been conducted, but their true diversity remains largely unknown. To bridge this gap, we implemented a comprehensive survey of diversity and distribution of myxobacteria by using 4997 publicly available ...

Modelling Free-Living and Particle-Associated Bacterial Assemblages across the Deep and Hypoxic Lower St. Lawrence Estuary

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
The Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence (EGSL) in eastern Canada are among the largest and most productive coastal ecosystems in the world. Very little information on bacterial diversity exists, hampering our understanding of the relationships between ...

A Study of Two Marine Agar-Decomposing, Facultatively Anaerobic Myxobacteria [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1961
SUMMARY: Two facultatively anaerobic agar-decomposing myxobacteria were isolated from marine mud and described as Cytophaga fermentans Bachmann var. agarovorans var. nov. and C. salmonicolor var. agarovorans var. nov. A third organism which does not attack agar was isolated from the same source; it has been included in the present study for comparative

Cloning, isolation, and characterization of novel chitinase-producing bacterial strain UM01 (Myxococcus fulvus)

open access: yesJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Background Chitin is an important biopolymer next to cellulose, extracted in the present study. The exoskeleton of marine bycatch brachyuran crabs, namely Calappa lophos, Dromia dehaani, Dorippe facchino and also from stomatopod Squilla spp. were used to
