Seasonal Analysis of Microbial Communities in Precipitation in the Greater Tokyo Area, Japan
The presence of microbes in the atmosphere and their transport over long distances across the Earth's surface was recently shown. Precipitation is likely a major path by which aerial microbes fall to the ground surface, affecting its microbial ecosystems and introducing pathogenic microbes. Understanding microbial communities in precipitation is of multidisciplinary interest from the perspectiv...
متن کاملMetabolically active microbial communities in uranium-contaminated subsurface sediments.
In order to develop effective bioremediation strategies for radionuclide contaminants, the composition and metabolic potential of microbial communities need to be better understood, especially in highly contaminated subsurface sediments for which little cultivation-independent information is available. In this study, we characterized metabolically active and total microbial communities associat...
متن کاملSubsurface microbial diversity in deep-granitic-fracture water in Colorado.
A microbial community analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on borehole water and a granite rock core from Henderson Mine, a >1,000-meter-deep molybdenum mine near Empire, CO. Chemical analysis of borehole water at two separate depths (1,044 m and 1,004 m below the mine entrance) suggests that a sharp chemical gradient exists, likely from the mixing of two distinct subsurface fl...
متن کاملStratified communities of active Archaea in deep marine subsurface sediments.
Archaeal 16S rRNA was extracted from samples of deep marine subsurface sediments from Peru Margin site 1227, Ocean Drilling Program leg 201. The amounts of archaeal 16S rRNA in each extract were quantified by serial dilution and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. The results indicated a 1,000-fold variation in rRNA content with depth in the sediment, with the highest concentrations found near the ...
متن کاملMicrobial production and oxidation of methane in deep subsurface
The goal of this review is to summarize present studies on microbial production and oxidation of methane in the deep subterranean environments. Methane is a long-living gas causing the ‘‘greenhouse’’ effect in the planet’s atmosphere. Earlier, the deep ‘‘organic carbon poor’’ subsurface was not considered as a source of ‘‘biogenic’’ methane. Evidence of active methanogenesis and presence of via...
