Microbial Ecology of an Extreme Acidic Environment, the Tinto River part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This journal article analyzes the microbial ecology of the Rio Tinto, an extreme environment with a rather constant acidic pH and high concentration of heavy metals. Molecular ecology techniques are ...
Molecular Biology Reaches New Extremes: Scientists Conduct First DNA Field Tests on Antarctic Soil Microbes part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This article published by the University of Delaware College of Marine Studies reports the first instance of DNA fingerprinting of soil microbes performed in the field on the Earth's frozen ...
From Genes to Genomes: Beyond Biodiversity in Spain's Rio Tinto part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This journal article reports the unexpectedly high eukaryotic phylogenetic diversity in Spain's Rio Tinto. Microbes of the Rio Tinto must be both acidophilic and tolerant of heavy metals to ...
Picrophilus gen. nov., fam. nov.: a novel aerobic, heterotrophic, thermoacidophilic genus and family comprising archaea capable of growth around pH 0. part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper reports the discovery of two novel species of a genus of thermophilic, heterotrophic, aerobic archaea that grow under extremely acidic conditions. These species were isolated ...
Genome sequence of Picrophilus torridus and its implications for life around pH 0. part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper describes the Picrophilaceae, which are the most acidophilic organisms known and amazingly, are able to grow at negative pH values. The authors deduce several features that may ...
Microbiology of acidic, geothermal springs of Montserrat: environmental rDNA analysis. part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This scientific paper describes the microbial diversity found in water and sediment samples taken from acidic, geothermal pools on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Sampling sites included low-, ...
Extremophiles part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This site is the home page for Extremophiles, a sub group of the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of Groningen whose main interests concern transport phenomena across the cytoplasmic ...
An alternative interpretation of nanobacteria-induced biomineralization part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This PNAS Microbiology scholarly paper discusses alternative explanations for "nanobe structures" found in the human body that are thought to contribute to tooth and ...
SEM imaging of bacteria in carbonate sediments and rocks part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This Journal of Sedimentary Petrology scholarly paper details the findings of Robert Folk, the "father of nannobacteria." Folk is credited with discovering ...
Geobiology of a microbial endolithic community in the Yellowstone geothermal environment part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This Letters to Nature scholarly article presents findings from a study done at Yellowstone's Norris Geyser Basin, the purpose of which was to characterize the endolithic microbial community in ...
