Journal ArticleDOI

Cultivating the uncultured: limits, advances and future challenges

Karine Alain, +1 more
- 23 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: This review discusses several cultivation obstacles, including the loss of microbial cell–cell communication following species isolation, and proposes that a combination of these approaches is urgently required to promote cultivation of uncultured species, thereby dawning a new era in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbiological investigation of methane- and hydrocarbon-discharging mud volcanoes in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania

Karine Alain, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: This survey is the first to report the presence and activity of ANME in a terrestrial environment and the potential of the indigenous microbial community for sulfate reduction, methanogenesis and aerobic methanotrophy is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caminibacter hydrogeniphilus gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel thermophilic, hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium isolated from an East Pacific Rise hydrothermal vent.

Karine Alain, +7 more
- 01 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that the isolate from an East Pacific Rise hydrothermal vent sample should be described as the type species of a new genus, Caminibacter gen. nov., as CaminIBacter hydrogeniphilus sp.nov.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marinitoga piezophila sp. nov., a rod-shaped, thermo-piezophilic bacterium isolated under high hydrostatic pressure from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent.

Karine Alain, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: On the basis of 16S rDNA sequence comparisons and morphological, physiological and genotypic characteristics, it is proposed that the isolate be described as a novel species of the genus Marinitogales, with Marinitoga piezophila sp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic characterization of the bacterial assemblage associated with mucous secretions of the hydrothermal vent polychaete Paralvinella palmiformis

Karine Alain, +8 more
- 01 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of the presence of Verrucomicrobia, Fusobacteria and green non-sulfur bacteria on hydrothermal edifices.
