Denitrification, the reduction of the nitrogen (N) oxides, nitrate (NO3−) and nitrite (NO2−), to
the gases nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), and dinitrogen (N2), is important to primary …

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse of all marine ecosystems; however, very little is known
about prokaryotic diversity in these systems. To address this issue, we sequenced over 1000 …

Isolated soil DNA from an oak-hornbeam forest close to Cologne, Germany, was suitable for
PCR amplification of gene segments coding for the 16S rRNA and nitrogenase reductase …

Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …

According to guidelines for the approval of pesticides, side-effects on soil microorganisms
should be determined by studying functional parameters such as carbon or nitrogen …

Exploring the role of enzymes in biogeochemical processes, this reference explores the
function, molecular biology, and biochemistry of microorganisms and their intra-and extra …

We used denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to study the diversity of
picoeukaryotes in natural marine assemblages. Two eukaryote-specific primer sets targeting …

Microbial ecology has undergone a profound change in the last two decades with regard to
methods employed for the analysis of natural communities. Emphasis has shifted from …

Microbial community composition was examined in two soil types, Anthrosols and adjacent
soils, sampled from three locations in the Brazilian Amazon. The Anthrosols, also known as …
