    Genomic and phenotypic insights into the ecology of Arthrobacter from Antarctic soils

    Members of the bacterial genus Arthrobacter are both readily cultured and commonly identified in Antarctic soil communities. Currently, relatively little is known about the physiological traits that allow these b...

    dsrAB-based analysis of sulphate-reducing bacteria in moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) wastewater treatment plants

    Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are important members of the sulphur cycle in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this study, we investigate the diversity and activity of SRB within the develo** and est...

    Effect of Fenton reagent shock and recovery periods on anaerobic microbial community structure and degradation of chlorinated aliphatics

    This study investigates the effect of Fenton reagent on the structure and function of a microbial consortium during the anaerobic degradation of hexachloroethane (HCA) and tetrachloroethene (PCE). Anaerobic bi...

    Successional development of biofilms in moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) systems treating municipal wastewater

    Biofilm-based technologies, such as moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) systems, are widely used to treat wastewater. Biofilm development is important for MBBR systems as much of the microbial biomass is retaine...

    Triggers of Aggregation and Extracellular Polysaccharide Polymer Production in Acidovorax temperans

    Bacterial aggregation has important implications for the maintenance of bacteria in engineered environments. The triggers for aggregation, however, are poorly understood. A strain of Acidovorax temperans CB2Hn is...

    Effect of light regimes on the utilisation of an exogenous carbon source by freshwater biofilm bacterial communities

    This study reports the novel use of nucleic acid stable isotope probing (NA-SIP) to identify metabolically active ([13C]-acetate assimilating) bacteria in freshwater biofilms. Currently, a little is known of the ...

    Extracellular DNA and Type IV pili mediate surface attachment by Acidovorax temperans

    Extracellular DNA can play a structural role in the microbial environment. Here evidence is presented that an environmental isolate of Acidovorax temperans utilises extracellular DNA for i...
