Regional and oyster microenvironmental scale heterogeneity in the Pacific oyster bacterial community. [PDF]
Different organs of a host represent distinct microenvironments resulting in the establishment of multiple discrete bacterial communities within a host. These discrete bacterial communities can also vary according to geographical location.

Host-microbe symbiosis and coevolution in coral reef invertebrates [PDF]
Paul O'Brien used the topic of coevolution to study the microbiome of coral reef invertebrates. He found that a) the evolutionary history of the host is reflected in the microbiome, b) a subset of microbial species display strong patterns of cophylogeny,

Prevalence Rates ofBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae),Anaplasma phagocytophilum(Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), andBabesia microti(Piroplasmida: Babesiidae) in Host-SeekingIxodes scapularis(Acari: Ixodidae) from Pennsylvania [PDF]
AbstractThe etiological agents responsible for Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), human granulocytic anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum), and babesiosis (Babesia microti) are primarily transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularisSay. Despite Pennsylvania having in recent years reported the highest number of Lyme disease cases in the ...

Microbial community development during syngas methanation in a trickle bed reactor with various nutrient sources [PDF]
Microbial community development within an anaerobic trickle bed reactor (TBR) during methanation of syngas (56% H-2, 30% CO, 14% CO2) was investigated using three different nutrient media: defined nutrient medium (241 days), diluted digestate from a ...
