    Coupling among Microbial Communities, Biogeochemistry and Mineralogy across Biogeochemical Facies

    Physical properties of sediments are commonly used to define subsurface lithofacies and these same physical properties influence subsurface microbial communities. This suggests an (unexploited) opportunity to ...

    Modeling Microbial Dynamics in Heterogeneous Environments: Growth on Soil Carbon Sources

    We have developed a new kinetic model to study how microbial dynamics are affected by the heterogeneity in the physical structure of the environment and by different strategies for hydrolysis of polymeric carb...

    Bacterial Activity, Community Structure, and Centimeter-Scale Spatial Heterogeneity in Contaminated Soil

    In an anthropogenically disturbed soil (88% sand, 8% silt, 4% clay), 150-mg samples were studied to examine the fine-scale relationship of bacterial activity and community structure to heavy metal contaminants...

    Aciduric Proteobacteria isolated from pH 2.9 soil

    Acidic (pH 2.9) soil was used as an inoculum to culture heterotrophic bacteria at pH values of 3–4. Four isolates were obtained; on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence, they were shown to be members of the β- and...
