Microbial diversity and the “lower-limit” problem of biodiversity [PDF]

, 2013
Science is now studying biodiversity on a massive scale. These studies are occurring not just at the scale of larger plants and animals, but also at the scale of minute entities such as bacteria and viruses. This expansion has led to the development of a

A comparison of rpoB and 16S rRNA as markers in pyrosequencing studies of bacterial diversity [PDF]

, 2012
Background: The 16S rRNA gene is the gold standard in molecular surveys of bacterial and archaeal diversity, but it has the disadvantages that it is often multiple-copy, has little resolution below the species level and cannot be readily interpreted in ...

Microbial Diversity for Biotechnology 2014 [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2015
The focus of this special issue is the characterization of the microbial diversity and the development of potential biotechnological applications. Despite the great importance of microbes, only a small fraction has been able to be cultivated in the laboratory. It is now clear that molecular techniques have played a significant role in the detection and

Diffuse flow environments within basalt- and sediment-based hydrothermal vent ecosystems harbor specialized microbial communities [PDF]

, 2013
Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear.
