Development of a quantitative PCR–high-resolution melting assay for absolute measurement of coral-Symbiodiniaceae associations and its application to investigating variability at three spatial scales
Previous molecular studies have shown that many corals host a dynamic consortium of dominant and background populations of Symbiodiniaceae genotypes with putatively distinct physiological traits. In the presen...

Top-Down Control of Diesel-Degrading Prokaryotic Communities
Biostimulation through the addition of inorganic nutrients has been the most widely practiced bioremediation strategy in oil-polluted marine waters. However, little attention has so far been paid to the microb...

Abundance, Activity, and Diversity of Archaeal and Bacterial Communities in Both Uncontaminated and Highly Copper-Contaminated Marine Sediments
We analyzed the impact of copper mine tailing discharges on benthic Archaea and Bacteria around the city of Chanaral in northern Chile. Quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) showed that the bacteria dominated the prokaryot...

A 2-Year Assessment of the Main Environmental Factors Driving the Free-Living Bacterial Community Structure in Lake Bourget (France)
Despite the considerable attention that has been paid to bacterioplankton over recent decades, the dynamic of aquatic bacterial community structure is still poorly understood, and long-term studies are particu...
