Journal ArticleDOI
Introducing EzTaxon-e: a prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene sequence database with phylotypes that represent uncultured species.
Ok-Sun Kim,Yong-Joon Cho,Kihyun Lee,Seok Hwan Yoon,Mincheol Kim,Hyunsoo Na,Sang-Cheol Park,Yoon-Seong Jeon,Jae-Hak Lee,Hana Yi,Sungho Won,Jongsik Chun +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the EzTaxon-e database provides a useful taxonomic backbone for the identification of cultured and uncultured prokaryotes and offers a valuable means of communication among microbiologists who routinely encounter taxonomically novel isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic and functional marker genes to study ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) in the environment
Pilar Junier,Verónica Molina,Cristina Dorador,Ora Hadas,Ok-Sun Kim,Thomas Junier,Karl-Paul Witzel,Johannes F. Imhoff +7 more
TL;DR: This review presents an overview of approaches that have been used for the molecular study of ammonia oxidizers and discusses their application in different environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of barcoded pyrosequencing and shared OTUs to determine sources of fecal bacteria in watersheds.
Tatsuya Unno,Jeonghwan Jang,Dukki Han,Joon Ha Kim,Michael J. Sadowsky,Ok-Sun Kim,Jongsik Chun,Hor-Gil Hur +7 more
TL;DR: A new library-dependent MST method that uses pyrosequencing-derived shared operational taxonomy units (OTUs) to define sources of fecal contamination in waterways and indicated that analysis of shared OTUs derived from barcoded pyro sequencing reads provide the necessary resolution and discrimination to be useful as a next generation platform for microbial source tracking studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial community structure and soil properties of a subarctic tundra soil in Council, Alaska
Hyemin Kim,Ji Young Jung,Etienne Yergeau,Chung Yeon Hwang,Larry D. Hinzman,Sungjin Nam,Soon Gyu Hong,Ok-Sun Kim,Jongsik Chun,Yoo Kyung Lee +9 more
TL;DR: It was showed that soil depth and pH were the most important soil properties determining bacterial community structure of the subarctic tundra soil in Council, Alaska.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Soil Characteristics and Proximity to Antarctic Research Stations on Abundance of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Soils
Fang Wang,Robert D. Stedtfeld,Ok-Sun Kim,Benli Chai,Luxi Yang,Tiffany M. Stedtfeld,Soon Gyu Hong,Dockyu Kim,Hyoun Soo Lim,Syed A. Hashsham,James M. Tiedje,Woo Jun Sul +11 more
TL;DR: It is identified that human activity and certain soil characteristics correlate with antibiotic resistance genes in these oligotrophic Antarctic soils and provides a baseline of ARGs and MGEs for future comparisons.
