Archaea : a laboratory manual
TLDR
The protocols in these three books are selected to provide a detailed guide to experiments with the methanogenic, extremely halophilic, and thermophilic sulfur-utilizing Archaea, with overviews to highlight areas of future development.Abstract:
The protocols in these three books are selected to provide a detailed guide to experiments with the methanogenic, extremely halophilic, and thermophilic sulfur-utilizing Archaea, with overviews to highlight areas of future development. The individual protocols consist of an introduction describing the specific applications of the techniques, step-by-step procedures for applying the protocols, followed by any additional comments that will facilitate successful application of the protocol. A feature of research in this area is the interplay between microbiology, bioengineering, biochemistry, and molecular biology, and authors from all of these fields have been selected to provide these three concise and comprehensive resources for scientists interested in conducting research on the Archaea.read more

The diversity and biogeography of soil bacterial communities
Noah Fierer,Robert B. Jackson +1 more
TL;DR: Bacterial diversity was highest in neutral soils and lower in acidic soils, with soils from the Peruvian Amazon the most acidic and least diverse in this study.

The rumen bacteria
TL;DR: It is to be hoped that the major obstacles to cultivation of the most numerous rumen bacteria have been overcome by the development of sufficiently rigorous anaerobic methods and of suitable isolation media.

TL;DR: Analysis of the genome sequence shows the presence of pathways for uptake and utilization of amino acids, active sodium-proton antiporter and potassium uptake systems, sophisticated photosensory and signal transduction pathways, and DNA replication, transcription, and translation systems resembling more complex eukaryotic organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology of the phyllosphere: geographic and phylogenetic variability in the distribution of bacteria on tree leaves
TL;DR: The bacterial communities were organized in patterns predictable from the relatedness of the trees as there was significant correspondence between tree phylogeny and bacterial community phylogeny, a pattern that held even across continents where the authors observed minimal geographic differentiation in the bacterial communities on P. ponderosa needles.

TL;DR: In this first study to comprehensively survey viral communities using a metagenomic approach, it is found that soil viruses are taxonomically diverse and distinct from the communities of viruses found in other environments that have been surveyed using a similar approach.
