Metagenomic analyses can provide extensive information on the structure, composition, and
predicted gene functions of diverse environmental microbial assemblages. Each …

Explosives now contaminate millions of hectares of land in the US alone, with global levels
of contamination difficult to fully assess. Understanding the biology behind the metabolism of …

Microbial community composition and diversity at a diesel-contaminated railway site were
investigated by pyrosequencing of bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene fragments to …

This study focused on the impact of land-use changes and agricultural management of
soybean in Amazon forest soils on the abundance and composition of the acidobacterial …

Members of the phylum Acidobacteria are among the most abundant soil bacteria on Earth,
but little is known about their response to environmental changes. We asked how the …

Maintaining soil fertility and the microbial communities that determine fertility is critical to
sustainable agricultural strategies, and the use of different organic fertilizer (OF) regimes …

Despite their high phylogenetic diversity and abundance in soils worldwide, Acidobacteria
represent an enigmatic bacterial phylum. Four novel Acidobacteria strains were isolated …

Hyporheic zones are the water-saturated flow-through subsurfaces of rivers which are
characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of multiple physical, biological, and chemical …

Microbial community composition and metabolic potential have been explored in petroleum-
hydrocarbon-contaminated sludge of an oil storage facility. Culture-independent clone …

Although plants introduced for site restoration are pre‐selected for specific traits (eg trace
