Laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) as models for activated sludge processes
were used to study enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) from wastewater. …

Abundant, micrometer-scale, spherical aggregates of 2- to 5-nanometer-diameter sphalerite
(ZnS) particles formed within natural biofilms dominated by relatively aerotolerant sulfate-…

A new species of Archaea grows at pH ∼0.5 and ∼40C in slime streamers and attached to
pyrite surfaces at a sulfide ore body, Iron Mountain, California. This iron-oxidizing Archaeon …

The bacterial community structures of phosphate- and non-phosphate-removing activated
sludges were compared. Sludge samples were obtained from two sequencing batch reactors (…

The intensive use of antibiotics results in their continuous release into the environment and
the subsequent widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic …

Laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) as models for wastewater treatment
processes were used to identify glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs), which are thought …

In the post‐genomic era, the focus of numerous researchers has moved to studying the
functional products of gene expression. In microbiology, these ‘omic’ approaches have largely …

The recent availability of extensive metagenomic sequences from various environmental
microbial communities has extended the postgenomic era to the field of environmental …

An unusually thick (∼1 cm) slime developed on a slump of finely disseminated pyrite ore
within an extreme acid mine drainage site at Iron Mountain, near Redding, Calif. The slime was …

Acidophilic micro-organisms inhabit some of the most metal-rich environments known, including
both natural and man-made ecosystems, and as such are ideal model systems for study …
