Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose ofthis brief Foreword is to make you, the reader, hungry for the scientific feast that follows. These two volumes on the prokary otes offer a truly unique scientific menu-a comprehensive assembly of articles, exhibiting the biochemical depth and remarkable physiological and morphological diversity of prokaryote life. The size of the volumes might initially discourage the unprepared mind from being attracted to the study of prokaryote life, for this landmark assemblage thoroughly documents the wealth of present knowledge. But in confronting the reader with the state of the art, the Handbook also defines where new work needs to be done on well-studied bacteria as well as on unusual or poorly studied organisms. There are basically two ways of doing research with microbes. A classical approach is first to define the phenomenon to be studied and then to select the organism accordingly. Another way is to choose a specific organism and go where it leads. The pursuit of an unusual microbe brings out the latent hunter in all of us. The intellectual chal lenges of the chase frequently test our ingenuity to the limit. Sometimes the quarry repeatedly escapes, but the final capture is indeed a wonder ful experience. For many of us, these simple rewards are sufficiently gratifying so that we have chosen to spend our scientific lives studying these unusual creatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of the international symposium, "Establishment and Evaluation of Advanced Water Treatment Technology Systems Using Functions of Complex Microbial Community", organized in 2000 at the University of Tokyo. The volume presents the most recent progress in application of microbial community analysis, health-related microorganisms management, nutrient removal, waste sludge minimization and materials recovery, and water management in tropical countries. Included in this work are the following major topics in wastewater treatment: application of various innovative techniques of molecular biology such as FISH, DGGE to microbial community analysis of various types of wastewater treatment; microbial aspect of biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorus; emission of nitrous oxide during nitrogen transformation; reduction of sludge production in the wastewater treatment process using membrane and material recovery of biopolymer and cell of photosynthetic bacteria. Health-related microbiology in water supply and water management using recent innovative molecular biological tools is presented and health risk management is discussed. The practical application of wastewater treatment in developing countries, especially tropical countries is also reviewed. Researchers in the field of environmental engineering and applied microbiology, and practical engineers who wish to learn the most recent progress in the microbiological aspect of water and wastewater management, will find this book a useful tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life on earth began with bacteria, which now colonize every corner of the planet. As the ancestors of mitochondria, bacteria are also fundamental for our cells. Most bacteria look alike, but have very different functions. Therefore, knowing the functional profile of bacteria helps understand their impact on our life. This book provides a wealth of information on the functional evolution of bacteria in a novel and coherent way. The book is aimed towards scientists as well as those who are curious about the world of bacteria and their relationships with mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, and us.

Download or read book New Insights into Microbial Ecology through Subtle Nucleotide Variation written by A. Murat Eren and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16S ribosomal RNA gene commonly serves as a molecular marker for investigating microbial community composition and structure. Vast amounts of 16S rRNA amplicon data generated from environmental samples thanks to the recent advances in sequencing technologies allowed microbial ecologists to explore microbial community dynamics over temporal and spatial scales deeper than ever before. However, widely used methods for the analysis of bacterial communities generally ignore subtle nucleotide variations among high-throughput sequencing reads and often fail to resolve ecologically meaningful differences between closely related organisms in complex microbial datasets. Lack of proper partitioning of the sequencing data into relevant units often masks important ecological patterns. Our research topic contains articles that use oligotyping to demonstrate the importantance of high-resolution analyses of marker gene data, and providides further evidence why microbial ecologists should open the "black box" of OTUs identified through arbitrary sequence similarity thresholds.

Download or read book The methane moment Cross boundary significance of methanogens written by Zhe Lyu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, a relatively clean burning fossil fuel, but also a renewable biofuel when biologically produced from waste treatment plants. Most (~70%) of the global methane emission comes from methanogenic archaea, namely methanogens that produce methane from simple substrates such as H2/CO2, formate, acetate, methanol, and other methylated compounds. Methanogens are found across all corners of the earth, including but not limited to wetlands, animals and humans, rice fields, landfills, sewage, ocean, termites, and hydrothermal vents. Their extensive adaptations to such a wide range of habitats predict a cross-boundary significance of methanogens in many areas such as the environment, energy, agriculture, biotechnology, and human and animal health. The goal of this Research Topic is to offer a forum that highlights the cross-boundary significance of methanogens by bringing together methanogen research from diverse settings to one place. This cross-boundary significance is currently underappreciated but imperative to collectively understanding and helping to solve some of the biggest and most urgent challenges humanity is facing such as global warming, food and energy insecurity, pollution, and disease. As a more potent and shorter-lived greenhouse gas than CO2, methane has moved to the center stage in our efforts in rapidly combating climate change. Presumably, methanogens and their associated microbes may have been forced into a positive feedback loop to fuel the sharp rise of methane in recent years. On the other hand, methanogens are considered keystone species in the ecosystem, which are vital to the stability of the natural biome therein. However, the roles of methanogens as keystone species across their habitats are underexplored. Moreover, the role of methanogens in human and animal intestinal microbiomes have been reconsidered with evidence for links to disease and impact on nutrition. Last but not the least, methanogens are emerging as a cell factory model for green manufacturing, because of their abilities to convert CO2 to valuable biochemicals. Further efforts in the bioengineering of methanogens have the potential to expand their commercial application from waste treatment to biomanufacturing. We welcome both basic and translational studies relevant to methanogens from any setting. Studies with a focus on methanogens are highly encouraged, and manuscripts having methanogens as a significant component are also welcome. All studies should emphasize and envisage their implications in understanding and/or solving one or more challenges humanity is facing. To encourage submissions from multiple disciplines, this Research Topic is cross-listed with a number of Frontiers journals and sections. Manuscripts in the forms of Original Research, Review (including systematic and mini review), Methods, Hypothesis and Theory, and Perspectives are all welcome. Manuscript summary submissions are highly encouraged but all manuscripts submitted prior to the manuscript submission deadline will receive full consideration. This Research Topic is dedicated to Dr. William Barny Whitman, Emeritus Professor of Microbiology at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA. His 40+ years (and still counting) of productive research in methanogens, roseobacter, and other prokaryotes have contributed to and will continue to inspire new discoveries in the cross-boundary significance of both archaea and bacteria – the unseen majority.
