Exploring the under-investigated “microbial dark matter” of drinking water treatment plants
Scientists recently reported the unexpected detection of unknown or poorly studied bacterial diversity in groundwater. The ability to uncover this neglected biodiversity mainly derives from technical improvements, and the term "microbial dark matter" was used to group taxa poorly investigated and not necessarily monophyletic. We focused on such under-investigated microbial dark matter of drinki...
متن کاملUsing 15N Dilution Method to Correct for Microbial Contamination When Assessing in situ Protein Degradability of Fresh Ryegrass
This experiment was done to investigate microbial contamination and in situ disappearance rates of dry matter (DM), N and 15N of fresh labeled ryegrass. Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) were labeled with 15N during growth in a glasshouse, harvested at 4th leaves stage and were incubated up to 34 h in situ in the rumen of 3 individually housed sheep. The animals were fed 800 g/d chopped alfal...
متن کاملDiversity and metabolism of marine bacteria cultivated on dissolved DNA.
Dissolved DNA (dDNA) is a potentially important source of energy and nutrients in aquatic ecosystems. However, little is known about the identity, metabolism, and interactions of the microorganisms capable of consuming dDNA. Bacteria from Eel Pond (Woods Hole, MA) were cultivated on low-molecular-weight (LMW) or high-molecular-weight (HMW) dDNA, which served as the primary source of carbon, nit...
متن کاملDiversity of Microbial Eukaryotes in Undersampled Environments
The study of microbial eukaryotes has not traditionally been the realm of microbiologists, who focus mainly on bacteria. Molecular methods and an attempt at enrichment of protists were undertaken in this study. DGGE of timepoints from soil enrichments revealed a change in community members as well as some members' relative abundances. However, complications with faint or absent bands due to low...
متن کاملMethane-producing microbial community in a coal bed of the Illinois basin.
A series of molecular and geochemical studies were performed to study microbial, coal bed methane formation in the eastern Illinois Basin. Results suggest that organic matter is biodegraded to simple molecules, such as H(2) and CO(2), which fuel methanogenesis and the generation of large coal bed methane reserves. Small-subunit rRNA analysis of both the in situ microbial community and highly pu...
