Traditionally, the identification and characterization of microbial communities in
contaminated soil and water has previously been limited to those microorganisms that are …

Subsurface environments contain a large proportion of planetary microbial biomass and
harbor diverse communities responsible for mediating biogeochemical cycles important to …

In this study, we used a 16S rDNA–based approach to determine bacterial populations
associated with coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in its early life stages, highlighting …

Low-biomass samples from nitrate and heavy metal contaminated soils yield DNA amounts
that have limited use for direct, native analysis and screening. Multiple displacement …

In order to develop effective bioremediation strategies for radionuclide contaminants, the
composition and metabolic potential of microbial communities need to be better understood …

Methane is a valuable energy source hel** to mitigate the growing energy demand
worldwide. However, as a potent greenhouse gas, it has also gained additional attention …

There are distinct differences in the physiology of Geobacter species available in pure
culture. Therefore, to understand the ecology of Geobacter species in subsurface …

The concept of a deep microbial biosphere has advanced over the past several decades
from a hypothesis viewed with considerable skepticism to being widely accepted …

Little is known about the biogeography or stability of sediment-associated microbial
community membership because these environments are biologically complex and …

Deep subsurface biofilms are estimated to host the majority of prokaryotic life on Earth, yet
fundamental aspects of their ecology remain unknown. An inherent difficulty in studying …
