| evaluation of a fluorescent lectin-based staining technique for some acidophilic mining bacteria. | a fluorescence-labeled wheat germ agglutinin staining technique (r. k. sizemore et al., appl. environ. microbiol. 56:2245-2247, 1990) was modified and found to be effective for staining gram-positive, acidophilic mining bacteria. bacteria identified by others as being gram positive through 16s rrna sequence analyses, yet clustering near the divergence of that group, stained weakly. gram-negative bacteria did not stain. background staining of environmental samples was negligible, and pyrite and s ... | 2000 | 10788401 |
| permanent draft genome sequence of acidiphilium sp. ja12-a1. | the tenacious association between strains of the heterotrophic alphaproteobacterial genus acidiphilium and chemolithotrophic iron oxidizing bacteria has long been known. in this context the genome of the heterotroph acidiphilium sp. ja12-a1, an isolate from an iron oxidizing mixed culture derived from a pilot plant for bioremediation of acid mine drainage, was determined with the aim to reveal metabolic properties that are fundamental for the syntrophic interaction between acidiphilium sp. ja12- ... | 2015 | 26380040 |
| omics on bioleaching: current and future impacts. | bioleaching corresponds to the microbial-catalyzed process of conversion of insoluble metals into soluble forms. as an applied biotechnology globally used, it represents an extremely interesting field of research where omics techniques can be applied in terms of knowledge development, but moreover in terms of process design, control, and optimization. in this mini-review, the current state of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics of bioleaching and the major impacts of these analytical methods ... | 2015 | 26278538 |
