Journal ArticleDOI
The Ribosomal Database Project: improved alignments and new tools for rRNA analysis
James R. Cole,Qiong Wang,Erick Cardenas,Jordan A. Fish,Benli Chai,Ryan J. Farris,A. S. Kulam-Syed-Mohideen,Donna M. McGarrell,Terry L. Marsh,George M. Garrity,James M. Tiedje +10 more
TL;DR: An improved alignment strategy uses the Infernal secondary structure aware aligner to provide a more consistent higher quality alignment and faster processing of user sequences, and a new Pyrosequencing Pipeline that provides tools to support analysis of ultra high-throughput rRNA sequencing data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ribosomal database project (RDP-II): introducing myRDP space and quality controlled public data.
James R. Cole,Benli Chai,Ryan J. Farris,Qiong Wang,A. S. Kulam-Syed-Mohideen,Donna M. McGarrell,A. M. Bandela,Erick Cardenas,George M. Garrity,James M. Tiedje +9 more
TL;DR: Quality analysis, including chimera detection, for all available rRNA sequences and the introduction of myRDP Space, a new web component designed to help researchers place their own data in context with the RDP's data are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ bioreduction of uranium (VI) to submicromolar levels and reoxidation by dissolved oxygen.
Wei-Min Wu,Jack Carley,Jian Luo,Matthew Ginder-Vogel,Erick Cardenas,Mary Beth Leigh,Chaichi Hwang,Shelly D. Kelly,Chuanmin Ruan,Liyou Wu,Joy D. Van Nostrand,Terry J. Gentry,Kenneth A. Lowe,Tonia L. Mehlhorn,Sue L Carroll,Wensui Luo,Matthew W. Fields,Baohua Gu,David B. Watson,Kenneth M. Kemner,Terence L. Marsh,James M. Tiedje,Jizhong Zhou,Scott Fendorf,Peter K. Kitanidis,Philip M. Jardine,Craig S. Criddle +26 more
TL;DR: The lower limits of groundwater U(VI) can be achieved by in-situ biostimulation and the effects of dissolved oxygen on immobilized uranium are explored through a series of experiments at a pilot scale test facility.
Journal ArticleDOI
New tools for discovering and characterizing microbial diversity
Erick Cardenas,James M. Tiedje +1 more
TL;DR: The new tools are reshaping the way the environment is studied, increasing the resolution at which microbial communities, their complexities and dynamics, can be studied to reveal their genetic potential and their functional diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Denitrifying Bacteria from the Genus Rhodanobacter Dominate Bacterial Communities in the Highly Contaminated Subsurface of a Nuclear Legacy Waste Site
Stefan J. Green,Om Prakash,Puja Jasrotia,Will A. Overholt,Erick Cardenas,Daniela Hubbard,James M. Tiedje,David B. Watson,Christopher W. Schadt,Scott C. Brooks,Joel E. Kostka +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pH is a major driver of the subsurface microbial community structure and that denitrifying bacteria from the genus Rhodanobacter (class Gammaproteobacteria) dominate at low pH, and pH is confirmed as a dominant driver of bacterial community structure in this contaminated subsurfaced environment.
