    Corallococcus caeni sp. nov., a novel myxobacterium isolated from activated sludge

    Two myxobacterial strains (KH5-1T and NO1) were isolated from the activated sludge tanks treating municipal sewage wastewater in Japan. These strains were recognised as myxobacteria based on their phenotypic char...

    Early prediction of environmental deterioration in a coastal fish farming area using lactic acid bacteria as an indicator

    We hypothesized that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) present in sediments at aquaculture sites can be employed as an indicator for the early prediction of deterioration, as the concentration of organic acids contro...

    Different Interspecies Electron Transfer Patterns during Mesophilic and Thermophilic Syntrophic Propionate Degradation in Chemostats

    Propionate is one of the major intermediates in anaerobic digestion of organic waste to CO2 and CH4. In methanogenic environments, propionate is degraded through a mutualistic interaction between symbiotic propio...

    Identification of novel potential acetate-oxidizing bacteria in thermophilic methanogenic chemostats by DNA stable isotope probing

    Syntrophic oxidization of acetate and propionate are both critical steps of methanogenesis during thermophilic anaerobic digestion. However, knowledge on syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacteria (SAOB) and syntro...

    Analysis of microbiota involved in the aged natural fermentation of indigo

    Although the indigo reduction process is performed via natural fermentation and maintained under open-air condition, the indigo-reducing reactions continue for 6 months (on average) or longer. Identifying the ...

    Primers: Functional Genes and 16S rRNA Genes for Methanogens

    To date, a great number of oligonucleotide probes/primers targeting phylogenetic markers of methanogenic archaea (methanogens), such as 16S rRNA and the gene for the α-subunit of methyl-coenzyme M reductase (mcrA
