TL;DR: Three-dimensional variably saturated flow and multicomponent biogeochemical reactive transport modeling is used to better understand the interplay of hydrology, geochemistry, and biology controlling the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, sulfur, and uranium in a shallow floodplain.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest a dual mechanism for the wild-type biofilm penicillin G resistance, retarded penetration, and effective efflux.

TL;DR: Comparing bacterial assemblages on naturally incubated and experimentally unincubated eggs at laying and late incubation using a universal 16S rRNA microarray containing probes for over 8000 bacterial taxa concluded that incubation inhibits all of the relatively few bacteria that grow on eggshells, and does not appear to promote growth of any bacteria.

TL;DR: A 2-month study of nitrate amendment to a perennially suboxic aquifer in Rifle (CO), strain-resolved metatranscriptomic analysis revealed pervasive and diverse chemolithoautotrophic bacterial activity relevant to C, S, N and Fe cycling.

TL;DR: This study assembled an extensive repository of clinical isolates, representing 30 medically important pathogenic species and originally identified using traditional culture-based or non-16S molecular methods, and built a Naïve Bayes classifier representing a diverse set of high-quality sequences from medically important bacterial organisms.
