Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of a bacterium, with distinctive dioxygenase, that is responsible for in situ biodegradation in contaminated sediment.
Che Ok Jeon,Woojun Park,Parasuraman Padmanabhan,Christopher M. DeRito,Jason Snape,Eugene L. Madsen,Eugene L. Madsen +6 more
TL;DR: This article used stable isotopic probing (SIP) to discover a group of bacteria responsible for in situ metabolism of an environmental pollutant, naphthalene, in a contaminated study site to trace the flow of pollutant carbon into the naturally occurring microbial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiration of 13C-labeled substrates added to soil in the field and subsequent 16S rRNA gene analysis of 13C-labeled soil DNA.
Parasuraman Padmanabhan,S. Padmanabhan,Christopher M. DeRito,A. Gray,D. Gannon,Jason Snape,Ching-Sung Tsai,Woojun Park,Che Ok Jeon,Eugene L. Madsen +9 more
TL;DR: A field soil biodegradation assay using 13C-labeled compounds and identify the active microorganisms by analyzing 16S rRNA genes in soil-derived 13C -labeled DNA revealed relatives of Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Massilia, Flavobacterium, and Pedobacter spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Glyoxylate Shunt in Oxidative Stress Response.
TL;DR: Deletion of aceA in P. aeruginosa improved cell growth under conditions of oxidative and antibiotic stress, consistent with the hypothesis that the glyoxylate shunt plays a previously unrecognized role in allowing bacteria to tolerate oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
AFM study of the differential inhibitory effects of the green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
TL;DR: AFM results suggest that the major morphological changes of Gram-negative bacterial cell walls induced by EGCG depend on H( 2)O(2) release, while this is not the case for Gram-positive bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polaromonas naphthalenivorans sp. nov., a naphthalene-degrading bacterium from naphthalene-contaminated sediment.
TL;DR: Comparative 16S rDNA analysis indicated that strain CJ2T is related to the family Comamonadaceae and that the nearest phylogenetic relative was Polaromonas vacuolata 34-PT (97.1% similarity).
