Proposal of biostimulation for hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-decontamination and characterization of culturable bacterial community from high-dose point HCH-contaminated soils

To locate a high-dose point hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-contaminated site, to identify HCH-degrading bacteria in it and assay HCH-decontamination by biostimulation. Methods and Results: Bacteria were isolated by serial dilution method from HCH-contaminate ...

The porous surface model, a novel experimental system for online quantitative observation of microbial processes under unsaturated conditions

Dani Or, Gamze Gülez

Water is arguably the most important constituent of microbial microhabitats due to its control of physical and physiological processes critical to microbial activity. In natural environments, bacteria often live on unsaturated surfaces, in thin (micrometri ...

Exploiting Binary Abstractions in Deciphering Gene Interactions

Giovanni De Micheli, Abhishek Garg

We consider computationally reconstructing gene regulatory networks on top of the binary abstraction of gene expression state information. Unlike previous Boolean network approaches, the proposed method does not handle noisy gene expression values directly ...

Review: microbial biocenoses in pristine aquifers and an assessment of investigative methods

Pierre Rossi, David Hunkeler

The current knowledge on microbial biocenoses (communities) in pristine aquifers is presented in a review, which also discusses their relevance for questions of groundwater protection. Aquifers are heterogeneous on all scales and structured in a variety of ...

Soil microbial community changes in wooded mountain pastures due to simulated effects of cattle grazing

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat

The effect of cattle activity on pastures can be subdivided into three categories of disturbances: herbage removal, dunging and trampling. The objective of this study was to assess separately or in combination the effect of these factors on the potential a ...

Temporal Variations in Soil Water Wetness Enhance Microbial Diversity

Dani Or

Surface soils host unparalleled number of microbial species even in small volumes, serving as the richest storage of microbial genus in the biosphere. Spatial and temporal heterogeneity and multitude of niches and microhabitats in the vadose zone are belie ...
