One clone exhibiting lipolytic activity was selected among 30 positives from a metagenomic library of a microbe consortium specialized in petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. From this clone, a sublibrary was constructed and ...

This study was conducted to investigate whether functions encoded in the metagenome could improve our ability to understand the link between microbial community structure and function in activated sludge. By analyzing data ...

Background Next generation sequencing (NGS) has dramatically increased the number of metagenomes available in public databases profoundly affecting the ability to do comparative analyses. This work uses phylogenetic networks ...

An acid mine drainage (pH 2.5-2.7) stream biofilm situated 250 m below ground in the low-temperature (6-10°C)Kristineberg mine, northern Sweden, contained a microbial community equipped for growth at low temperature and ...

Modern stromatolites thrive only in selected locations in the world. Socompa Lake, located in the Andean plateau at 3570 masl, is one of the numerous extreme Andean microbial ecosystems described over recent years. Extreme ...

Existing workflows for the analysis of multi-omic microbiome datasets are lab-specific and often result in sub-optimal data usage. Here we present IMP, a reproducible and modular pipeline for the integrated and ...
