In order for plant biomass to become a viable feedstock for meeting the future demand for
liquid fuels, efficient and cost-effective processes must exist to breakdown cellulosic materials …

Quorum sensing (QS) governs the production of virulence factors and the architecture and
sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) resistance of biofilm‐grown Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. …

The candidate division Korarchaeota comprises a group of uncultivated microorganisms that,
by their small subunit rRNA phylogeny, may have diverged early from the major archaeal …

The role of the two known catalases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in protecting planktonic
and biofilm cells against hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) was investigated. Planktonic cultures …

The penetration of hydrogen peroxide into biofilms formed by wild-type and catalase-deficient
Pseudomonas aeruginosastrains was measured using microelectrodes. A flowing stream …

Examining the fundamental structure and processes of living cells at the nanoscale poses a
unique analytical challenge, as cells are dynamic, chemically diverse, and fragile. A case in …

Background Members of the anaerobic thermophilic bacterial genus Caldicellulosiruptor are
emerging candidates for consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) because they are capable of …

Extremely thermophilic bacteria of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor utilize carbohydrate components
of plant cell walls, including cellulose and hemicellulose, facilitated by a diverse set of …

Background The relationship between the hyperthermophiles Ignicoccus hospitalis and
Nanoarchaeum equitans is the only known example of a specific association between two …

A novel, obligately anaerobic, extremely thermophilic, cellulolytic bacterium, designated
OB47 T , was isolated from Obsidian Pool, Yellowstone National Park, WY. The isolate was a …
