A comparative in situ decomposition study using still born piglets and leaf litter from a deciduous forest [PDF]
A cadaver and dead plant organic matter, or litter, are rich energy sources that undergo a complex decomposition process, which impact the surrounding environmental microbiota.

Culture-dependent and culture-independent methods reveal diverse methylotrophic communities in terrestrial environments [PDF]
One-carbon compounds such as methanol, dimethylsulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) are significant intermediates in biogeochemical cycles. They are suggested to affect atmospheric chemistry and global climate.

Tapping into the maize root microbiome to identify bacteria that promote growth under chilling conditions [PDF]
Background When maize (Zea mays L.) is grown in the Northern hemisphere, its development is heavily arrested by chilling temperatures, especially at the juvenile phase. As some endophytes are beneficial for plants under stress conditions, we analyzed the

New viral biogeochemical roles revealed through metagenomic analysis of Lake Baikal
Background Lake Baikal is the largest body of liquid freshwater on Earth. Previous studies have described the microbial composition of this habitat, but the viral communities from this ecosystem have not been characterized in detail.

Draft genomes of two strains of flavobacterium isolated from lake washington sediment. [PDF]
We report sequencing the genomes of two new Flavobacterium strains isolated from Lake Washington sediment. From genomic contents, versatile lifestyles were predicted but not bona fide methylotrophy.

A bacterial strain, designated H-5T, was isolated from an artificial reservoir in Taiwan and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of strain H-5T were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile by means of a single polar flagellum, rod-shaped, covered by large capsules and formed white colonies.
