Nitrification increases nitrogen export from a tropical river network

Scaling aquatic ecosystem processes like nutrient removal is critical for assessing the importance of streams and rivers to watershed nutrient export. We used pulse NH4+ enrichment experiments and measured net NH4+ uptake in 7 streams throughout a mountain ...

Construction of pDYN6902, a new Streptomyces integrative expression vector designed for cloning sequences interfering with Escherichia coli viability

Julien Hiblot, Pierre Leblond

We describe here the construction of a new version of the Escherichia coli-Streptomyces shuttle cloning vector pIJ6902, which carries the original thiostrepton-inducible PtipA as well as the integrative and cloning systems, but with the E. coil low copy nu ...

Nitrogen Removal over Nitrite by Aeration Control in Aerobic Granular Sludge Sequencing Batch Reactors

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Samuel Lochmatter

This study investigated the potential of aeration control for the achievement of N-removal over nitrite with aerobic granular sludge in sequencing batch reactors. N-removal over nitrite requires less COD, which is particularly interesting if COD is the lim ...

Impact Assessment of Pumping Parameters on Groundwater Bacterial Communities

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani, Guillaume Laulan

Groundwater microbial community samples are traditionally collected using pumping techniques optimized for groundwater chemistry assessment, although the impact of groundwater pumping parameters on apparent bacterial community structures (BCSs) is not real ...

PyroTRF-ID: a novel bioinformatics methodology for the affiliation of terminal-restriction fragments using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing data

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Pierre Rossi, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Jacques Rougemont, Noam Shani, Lucas Sinclair

Background: In molecular microbial ecology, massive sequencing is gradually replacing classical fingerprinting techniques such as terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) combined with cloning-sequencing for the characterization of microb ...

Assessing the Bacterial Ecology of Organohalide Respiration for the Design of Bioremediation Strategies

Noam Shani

Groundwater is essential for human activities and is sometimes referred to as a non-renewable resource in the same way as oil and gas. During the past century, precious groundwater reserves worldwide have been threatened by anthropogenic release of chemica ...
