Three methods to detect biosurfactant production, drop collapse, oil spreading, and blood
agar lysis, were compared for their ease of use and reliability in relation to the ability of the …

Rare species are increasingly recognized as crucial, yet vulnerable components of Earth’s
ecosystems. This is also true for microbial communities, which are typically composed of a …

The phylogenetic diversity and community structure of members of the gut anaerobic fungi (AF)
(phylum Neocallimastigomycota) were investigated in 30 different herbivore species that …

Anaerobic gut fungi represent a distinct early-branching fungal phylum (Neocallimastigomycota)
and reside in the rumen, hindgut, and feces of ruminant and nonruminant herbivores. …

Soil bacterial communities typically exhibit a distribution pattern in which most bacterial
species are present in low abundance. Due to the relatively small size of most culture-…

This study investigated the efficiency of rhamnolipid biosurfactant and synthetic surfactant
mixtures for improving the interfacial activity of the surfactant system against several light non-…

We investigated the phylogenetic diversity and metabolic capabilities of members of the
phylum Planctomycetes in the anaerobic, sulfide-saturated sediments of a mesophilic spring (…

We report on the genomic characterization of three novel classes in the phylum Desulfobacterota.
One class (proposed name Candidatus ‘Anaeroferrophillalia’) was characterized by …

Biosurfactant production may be an economic approach to improving oil recovery. To obtain
candidates most suitable for oil recovery, 207 strains, mostly belonging to the genus Bacillus…

We used rarefaction curve analysis and diversity ordering-based approaches to rank the 11
most frequently encountered bacterial lineages in soil according to diversity in 5 previously …
