Journal ArticleDOI
Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions
TL;DR: This review considers competition for resources, but focus on some of the key cooperative interactions: consumption of metabolites, biosurfactant production, provision of oxygen and fixed nitrogen, and especially interactions between bacteria, fungi and microalgae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Enigma of Prokaryotic Life in Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins
Paul W. J. J. van der Wielen,Henk Bolhuis,Sara Borin,Daniele Daffonchio,Cesare Corselli,Laura Giuliano,Giuseppe D'Auria,Gert J. de Lange,Andreas Huebner,Sotirios P. Varnavas,John Thomson,Christian Tamburini,Danielle Marty,Terry J. McGenity,Kenneth N. Timmis,BioDeep Scientific Party +15 more
TL;DR: This study revealed that deep hypersaline anoxic basins in the Mediterranean Sea are not biogeochemical dead ends, but support in situ sulfate reduction, methanogenesis, and heterotrophic activity, and demonstrated the presence of a unique, metabolically active microbial community in the Discovery basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limits of life in MgCl2-containing environments: chaotropicity defines the window.
John E. Hallsworth,Michail M. Yakimov,Peter N. Golyshin,Jenny L. M. Gillion,Giuseppe D'Auria,Flavia De Lima Alves,Violetta La Cono,Maria Genovese,Boyd A. McKew,Sandra L. Hayes,Gayle N. Harris,Laura Giuliano,Kenneth N. Timmis,Kenneth N. Timmis,Terry J. McGenity +14 more
TL;DR: The exceptional chaotropicity of MgCl(2) is document here, and it is shown that this property, rather than water activity reduction, inhibits life by denaturing biological macromolecules, in hypersaline environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origins of halophilic microorganisms in ancient salt deposits
TL;DR: This research presents a new probabilistic procedure that allows for direct comparison of the response of the immune system to the presence of E.coli and shows clear patterns in response to E. Coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of temperature and biostimulation on oil‐degrading microbial communities in temperate estuarine waters
Frederic Coulon,Boyd A. McKew,A. Mark Osborn,A. Mark Osborn,Terry J. McGenity,Kenneth N. Timmis +5 more
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate the potential for intrinsic bioremediation throughout the course of the year in temperate estuarine waters, and highlight the importance of both versatile psychrotolerant and specialized psychrophilic hydrocarbon-degrading microbes in effecting this process at low temperatures.
