From the standpoints of both basic research and biotechnology, there is considerable interest
in reaching a clearer understanding of the diversity of biological mechanisms employed …

In this mini-review, advantages and current bottlenecks of metatranscriptomic-sequencing
for the discovery of novel enzymes for biotechnological applications will be discussed. …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is one of the best-studied microbially
mediated industrial processes because of its ecological and economic relevance. Despite this, it …

Significant effort is currently focused on microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as a source of renewable
energy. Most studies concentrate on operation at mesophilic temperatures. However, …

We tested a previously described protocol for fluorescence in situ hybridization of marine
bacterioplankton with horseradish peroxidase-labeled rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes …

Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) is not wellunderstood at the metabolic
level despite being one of the best-studiedmicrobially-mediated industrial processes due to its …

We analysed the phylogenetic relatedness of 16S rRNA genes from freshwater bacteria
affiliated with the class Actinobacteria. A polymerase chain reaction assay was developed to …

The occurrence, identity, and activity of microbes from the class Actinobacteria was studied
in the surface waters of 10 oligo- to mesotrophic mountain lakes located between 913 m and …

Metagenomics, the application of random shotgun sequencing to environmental samples, is
a powerful approach for characterizing microbial communities. However, this method only …

… The available Synergistetes genomes are particularly rich in genes for COG F, amino acid
transport and metabolism (an average of ∼11% of genes belonging to COG F among all COG …
