TLDR
Gram-positive, straight filamentous bacterium “ Microthrix parvicella” is isolated from an activated sludge sewage treatment plant in Australia by using micromanipulation techniques and phylogenetically placed as a deep branching member of the actinomycetes subphylum.About:

Identifying the Dominant Soil Bacterial Taxa in Libraries of 16S rRNA and 16S rRNA Genes
TL;DR: In 1909, H. Joel Conn expressed the hope that methods would soon be at hand by which the significance of the different bacteria present in any soil could be understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Evolution, Diversity, and Ecology: A Decade of Ribosomal RNA Analysis of Uncultivated Microorganisms
TL;DR: This review provides an outline of the main methods used in molecular microbial ecology, and their limitations, with reference to morphologically distinctive, uncultivated bacteria; an important biotechnological process (wastewater treatment); and symbiotic relationships between Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Ecology of the Dark Ocean above, at, and below the Seafloor
TL;DR: This review focuses on the current understanding of microbiology in the dark ocean, outlining salient features of various habitats and discussing known and still unexplored types of microbial metabolism and their consequences in global biogeochemical cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory Cultivation of Widespread and Previously Uncultured Soil Bacteria
TL;DR: The high degree of phylogenetic novelty and the number of isolates affiliated with so-called unculturable groups show that simple cultivation methods can still be developed further to obtain laboratory cultures of many phylogenetically novel soil bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Filamentous bulking sludge--a critical review.
TL;DR: This paper reviews the long-standing bulking sludge problem in activated sludge systems and believes that a generic approach would be feasible.

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

TL;DR: The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) is a curated database that offers ribosome data along with related programs and services that include phylogenetically ordered alignments of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, derived phylogenetic trees, rRNA secondary structure diagrams and various software packages for handling, analyzing and displaying alignments and trees.

Development of an rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe specific for the genus Acinetobacter and its application for in situ monitoring in activated sludge.
TL;DR: In this article, a genus-specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe was developed to investigate the role of Acinetobacter spp. in anaerobic and aerobic compartments of a sewage treatment plant with enhanced biological phosphate removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of novel groups of the domain Bacteria as revealed by analysis of genetic material isolated from an Australian terrestrial environment.
Werner Liesack,Erko Stackebrandt +1 more
TL;DR: A molecular ecological study was performed on an Australian soil sample to unravel a substantial portion of the bacterial diversity, revealing the presence of three major groups of prokaryotes of the domain Bacteria.
