Journal ArticleDOI
Erratum: Fuerstia Marisgermanicae Gen. Nov., Sp. Nov., an Unusual Member of the Phylum Planctomycetes from the German Wadden Sea (Front. Microbiol. (2016) 7 (2079), 10.3389/fmicb.2016.02079)
Journal ArticleDOI
How clear is our current view on microbial dark matter? (Re-)assessing public MAG & SAG datasets with MDMcleaner
TL;DR: A novel contig classification, screening, and filtering workflow and corresponding open-source python implementation called MDMcleaner revealed substantial contaminations overlooked by current screening approaches and sensitively detects misattributed contigs in both novel genomes and the underlying reference databases, thereby greatly improving the view on ‘microbial dark matter’.
Journal ArticleDOI
IncP-type plasmids carrying genes for antibiotic resistance or for aromatic compound degradation are prevalent in sequenced Aromatoleum and Thauera strains.
Hao-Yu Lo,Paula M. Martínez-Lavanchy,Tobias Goris,Johann Heider,Matthias Boll,A-K Kaster,Jochen F. Müller +6 more
TL;DR: The authors in this paper showed that Thauera aromatica K172T , a facultative denitrifying microorganism capable of degrading various aromatic compounds, contains a plasmid highly similar to the IncP-1 ε archetype pKJK5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Back to Basics: A Simplified Improvement to Multiple Displacement Amplification for Microbial Single-Cell Genomics
Mor Sobol,A-K Kaster +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a volume reduction approach was proposed to reduce costs while improving genome coverage and uniformity of DNA amplification products in standard 384-well plates, showing that further volume reduction in specialized and complex setups is likely unnecessary to obtain higher-quality microbial genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular stress affects the fate of microbial resistance to folate inhibitors in treatment wetlands.
Camila Knecht,Markus Krüger,Simon Kellmann,Ines Mäusezahl,Monika Möder,Olawale Olufemi Adelowo,John Vollmers,A-K Kaster,Jaime Nivala,Jochen F. Müller +9 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted that environmental conditions that modulate the activity of this mobile genetic element can be more important for the fate of associated AR genes in treatment wetlands than the ambient concentration of the respective antimicrobial agents.
