Diverse microbial communities of bacteria, archaea, viruses and single-celled eukaryotes
have crucial roles in the environment and in human health. However, microbes are …

Early identification of microbial pathogens is essential for rational and conservative antibiotic
use especially in the case of known regional resistance patterns. Here, we describe …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is critical for controlling the flux of methane from
anoxic environments. AOM coupled to iron, manganese and sulphate reduction have been …

The phylum Fibrobacteres currently comprises one formal genus, Fibrobacter, and two
cultured species, Fibrobacter succinogenes and Fibrobacter intestinalis, that are recognised …

To understand the biogeochemical roles of microorganisms in the environment, it is
important to determine when and under which conditions they are metabolically active …

Despite the development of several cultivation methods, the rate of discovery of
microorganisms that are yet-to-be cultivated outpaces the rate of isolating and cultivating …

Here we describe the application of a new click chemistry method for fluorescent tracking of
protein synthesis in individual microorganisms within environmental samples. This …

Since the development of antibody-production techniques, a number of immunoglobulins
have been developed on a large scale using conventional methods. Hybridoma technology …

Over the past decade, it has become nearly routine to sequence genomes of individual
microbial cells directly isolated from environmental samples ranging from deep-sea …

Understanding of global methane sources and sinks is a prerequisite for the design of
strategies to counteract global warming. Microbial methane oxidation in soils represents the …
