Sulfurospirillum diekertiae sp. nov., a tetrachloroethene-respiring bacterium isolated from contaminated soil

Two anaerobic, tetrachloroethene- (PCE-) respiring bacterial isolates, designated strain ACSDCE T and strain ACSTCE, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and shared a vibrioid- to spirill ...

Temporal evolution of bacterial communities associated with the in situ wetland-based remediation of a marine shore porphyry copper tailings deposit

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Emmanuelle Rohrbach

Mine tailings are a serious threat to the environment and public health. Remediation of these residues can be carried out effectively by the activation of specific microbial processes. This article presents detailed information about temporal changes in ba ...

The Response of the Mediterranean Gorgonian Eunicella singularis to Thermal Stress Is Independent of Its Nutritional Regime

Alexandre Buttler, Leïla Ezzat

Over the last few decades, sessile benthic organisms from the Mediterranean Sea have suffered from the global warming of the world's oceans, and several mass mortality events were observed during warm summers. It has been hypothesized that mortality could ...

Genome analysis of Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii reveals a physiological similarity with Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani

Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii is a moderately thermophilic member of the polyphyletic spore-forming genus Desulfotomaculum in the family Peptococcaceae. This species is of interest because it originates from deep subsurface thermal mineral water at a depth ...

Calorimetry and thermodynamic aspects of heterotrophic, mixotrophic, and phototrophic growth

Ian William Marison, Urs von Stockar

A simple stoichiometric model is proposed linking the biomass yield to the enthalpy and Gibbs energy changes in chemo-heterotrophic, mixotrophic, and photo-autotrophic microbial growth. A comparison with calorimetric experiments on the algae Chlorella vulg ...

Long term stabilization of reaction center protein photochemistry by carbon nanotubes

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath

The long term stability and the redox interaction between single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and photosynthetic reaction center proteins (RCs) purified from purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides R-26 in the SWNT/RC complex has been investigated. The ...

Thermodynamics of microbial growth and metabolism: An analysis of the current situation

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison

This paper attempts to review in how far thermodn. anal. can be used to understand and predict the performance of microorganisms with respect to growth and bioproduct synthesis. In the first part, a simple thermodn. model of microbial growth is developed w ...
