Studies of microbial biodiversity have made astounding discoveries of late due to the use of
methodologies based on phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences …

Molecular techniques have unveiled the complexity of the microbial consortium in anaerobic
bioreactors and revealed the presence of several uncultivated species. This paper presents …

Comparative analysis of bacterial diversity in freshwater sediment collected from a shallow
eutrophic lake was performed by using 16S rRNA gene clone library and improved …

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are studied in different agricultural crops but
the interaction of PGPR of tea crop is not yet studied well. In the present study, the …

The phylogenetic diversity of prokaryotic communities exposed to arid conditions in the hot
desert of Tataouine (south Tunisia) was estimated with a combination of a culture and …

Compared with culture-independent approaches, traditionally used culture-dependent
methods have a limited capacity to characterize water microbiota. Nevertheless, for almost a …

Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes are among the most abundant microbes in coastal
marine waters, but it is unclear to which extent the diversity within this phylum is covered by …

This study aimed to assess the influence of water treatment and distribution on the bacterial
communities with particular emphasis on tap water. Samples from the water treatment plant …

Increased river loads are projected as one of the major consequences of climate change in
the northern hemisphere, leading to elevated inputs of riverine dissolved organic matter …

Bacterioplankton growth is expected to depend on the availability of organic and inorganic
nutrients. Still, no studies have investigated how the magnitude and type of nutrient limitation …
