Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of hydrocarbon-degrading microbial populations in contaminated and pristine Alpine soils
TL;DR: No correlation was found between the prevalence of hydrocarbon-degradative genotypes and biological activities (respiration, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis, lipase activity) or numbers of culturable hydrocarbon -degrading soil microorganisms; there also was no correlation between the numbers of hydro carbon degraders and the contamination level.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicate that the enrichment of catabolic genotypes in the root interior is both plant and contaminant dependent.

TL;DR: The second ExoMars mission will be launched in 2020 to target an ancient location interpreted to have strong potential for past habitability and for preserving physical and chemical biosignatures (as well as abiotic/prebiotic organics).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of Variable-Chain-Length Alkanes at Low Temperatures by a Psychrotrophic Rhodococcus sp.
TL;DR: Rhodococcus sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
The functional potential of high Arctic permafrost revealed by metagenomic sequencing, qPCR and microarray analyses.
TL;DR: The detailed functional potential of permafrost-affected soils is described for the first time and key genes related to methane generation, methane oxidation and organic matter degradation were highly diverse for both samples in the metagenomic libraries and some showed relatively high abundance in qPCR assays.
