STUDIES ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOGEOCHEMISTRY OF DESERT SURFACE SOILS [PDF]
Microorganisms play a key role in the functioning of the environment, particularly in relation to the biogeochemical cycles. Here, a study was made of the microbial activity of primitive desert surface soils in comparison with that exhibited by a fertile

Microbial DNA fingerprinting of human fingerprints: dynamic colonization of fingertip microflora challenges human host inferences for forensic purposes [PDF]
Human fingertip microflora is transferred to touched objects and may provide forensically relevant information on individual hosts, such as on geographic origins, if endogenous microbial skin species/strains would be retrievable from physical ...

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

Computational Identification of Operons in Microbial Genomes [PDF]
By applying graph representations to biochemical pathways, a new computational pipeline is proposed to find potential operons in microbial genomes. The algorithm relies on the fact that enzyme genes in operons tend to catalyze successive reactions in metabolic pathways.
