Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular-phylogenetic characterization of microbial community imbalances in human inflammatory bowel diseases
Daniel N. Frank,Allison L. St. Amand,Robert A. Feldman,Edgar C. Boedeker,Noam Harpaz,Norman R. Pace +5 more
TL;DR: Patient stratification by GI microbiota provides further evidence that CD represents a spectrum of disease states and suggests that treatment of some forms of IBD may be facilitated by redress of the detected microbiological imbalances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Rhodopsin: Evidence for a New Type of Phototrophy in the Sea
Oded Béjà,L. Aravind,Eugene V. Koonin,Marcelino T. Suzuki,Andrew G. Hadd,Linh Nguyen,Stevan B. Jovanovich,Christian M. Gates,Robert A. Feldman,John L. Spudich,Elena N. Spudich,Edward F. DeLong +11 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that archaeal-like rhodopsins are broadly distributed among different taxa, including members of the domain Bacteria, and indicate that a previously unsuspected mode of bacterially mediated light-driven energy generation may commonly occur in oceanic surface waters worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complete genome of the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus
Gerard Deckert,Patrick V. Warren,Terry Gaasterland,William G. Young,Anna L. Lenox,David E. Graham,Ross Overbeek,Marjory A. Snead,Martin Keller,Monette Aujay,Robert Huber,Robert A. Feldman,Jay M. Short,Gary J. Olsen,Ronald V. Swanson +14 more
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of A. aeolicus is described, consisting of 1,551,335 base pairs, and it is shown that the use of oxygen (albeit at very low concentrations) as an electron acceptor is allowed by the presence of a complex respiratory apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction and analysis of bacterial artificial chromosome libraries from a marine microbial assemblage
Oded Béjà,Marcelino T. Suzuki,Eugene V. Koonin,L. Aravind,Andrew G. Hadd,Linh Nguyen,Rachel Villacorta,Mojgan Amjadi,Corey Garrigues,Stevan B. Jovanovich,Robert A. Feldman,Edward F. DeLong +11 more
TL;DR: The results verify the utility of BAC libraries for providing access to the genomes of as yet uncultivated microbial species and investigate the genomic potential and ecological roles of many indigenous microbial species, cultivated or not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Thermal Adaptation Revealed From the Genomes of the Antarctic Archaea Methanogenium frigidum and Methanococcoides burtonii
Neil F. W. Saunders,Torsten Thomas,Paul M. G. Curmi,John S. Mattick,Elizabeth Kuczek,Rob Slade,John Davis,Peter D. Franzmann,David Boone,Karl Rusterholtz,Robert A. Feldman,Chris Gates,Shellie R. Bench,Kevin R. Sowers,Kristen Kadner,Andrea Aerts,Paramvir S. Dehal,Chris Detter,Tijana Glavina,Susan Lucas,Paul G. Richardson,Frank W. Larimer,Loren Hauser,Miriam Land,Ricardo Cavicchioli +24 more
TL;DR: Comparative genomics revealed trends in amino acid and tRNA composition, and structural features of proteins from cold-adapted Archaea, and indicated that GC content is the major factor influencing tRNA stability in hyperthermophiles, but not in the psychrophiles, mesophiles or moderate thermophiles
