The emerging interest in using stable bedrock formations for industrial purposes, eg, nuclear
waste disposal, has increased the need for understanding microbiological and geochemical …

To find the right conditions to isolate natively expressed antimicrobial peptides from a wide
range of different microorganisms can be a challenge. Here, we exploited a heterologous …

Motivation: Bioinformatics tools, such as assemblers and aligners, are expected to produce
more accurate results when given better quality sequence data as their starting point. This …

The deep subsurface hosts diverse life, but the mechanisms that sustain this diversity remain
elusive. Here, we studied microbial communities involved in carbon cycling in deep, dark …

Microbial generation of methane from organic matter in coal represents an opportunity to
improve environmental and economic outcomes of coal seam gas production. This has …

We recently implemented a bioinformatics pipeline that can uncover novel, but rare,
riboswitch candidates as well as other noncoding RNA structures in bacteria. A prominent …

Prokaryotes are the most diverse and abundant cellular life forms on Earth. Most of them,
identified by indirect molecular approaches, belong to microbial dark matter. The advent of …

Microbial communities in subsurface coal seams are responsible for the conversion of coal
organic matter to methane. This process has important implications for both energy …

The rapid emergence of microbial multi-resistance against antibiotics has led to intense
search for alternatives. One of these alternatives are ribosomally synthesized and post …

Biogenic methane in subsurface coal seam environments is produced by diverse consortia
of microbes. Although this methane is useful for global energy security, it remains unclear …
