Methanotrophs in the rhizosphere play an important role in global climate change since they attenuate methane emission from rice field ecosystems into the atmosphere. Most of the CH(4) is emitted via transport through the plant gas... more
The function of cells in their native habitat often cannot be reliably predicted from genomic data or from physiology studies of isolates. Traditional experimental approaches to study the function of taxonomically and metabolically... more
The reduction of sorbed As(V) to the potentially more mobile As(III) by As-respiring anaerobic bacteria has been implicated in the mobilisation of the toxic metalloid in aquifer sediments in SE Asia. However, there is currently only a... more
In the stable-isotope probing (SIP) technology, the 13 C-labelled substrate is normally used to incorporate 13 C into nucleic acids. A proper abundance of 13 C in substrate is critical to the success of SIP, because the 13 C level not... more
Stable-isotope DNA probing is a culture-independent technique that may provide a link between function and phylogeny of active microorganisms. The technique has been used in association with 13C substrates while here we evaluate... more
Traditional petroleum recovery techniques are unable to extract the majority of oil in most petroliferous deposits. The recovery of even a fraction of residual hydrocarbon in conventional reserves could represent a substantive energy... more
Acetate is a critical compound in the soil carbon cycle, as it is a terminal product of complex organic matter fermentation under anaerobic conditions and is a major substrate for aerobic and anaerobic respirations. Our goal was to use... more
