population dynamics of an introduced bacterium degrading chlorinated benzenes in a soil column and in sewage sludge.	the capacity of the beta-proteobacterium pseudomonas sp. strain p51, which degrades chlorinated benzenes, to metabolize 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (tcb) under environmental conditions was tested by its release into two experimental systems. the first system consisted of laboratory scale microcosms which were operated with and without the addition of tcb and which were inoculated with sludge from a wastewater treatment plant. the second system consisted of a non sterile, water saturated soil column. ...	1999	10466200
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene diversity in eubacteria and eukaryotes: evidence for intra- and inter-kingdom gene transfer.	cyanobacteria contain up to three highly divergent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh) genes: gap1, gap2, and gap3. genes gap1 and gap2 are closely related at the sequence level to the nuclear genes encoding cytosolic and chloroplast gapdh of higher plants and have recently been shown to play distinct key roles in catabolic and anabolic carbon flow, respectively, of the unicellular cyanobacterium synechocystis sp. pcc6803. in the present study, sequences of 10 gapdh genes distribute ...	1999	10331270
biotransformation of monoterpenes, bile acids, and other isoprenoids in anaerobic ecosystems.	isoprenoic compounds play a major part in the global carbon cycle. biosynthesis and mineralization by aerobic bacteria have been intensively studied. this review describes our knowledge on the anaerobic metabolism of isoprenoids, mainly by denitrifying and fermentative bacteria. nitrate-reducing beta-proteobacteria were isolated on monoterpenes as sole carbon source and electron donor. thauera spp. were obtained on the oxygen-containing monoterpenes linalool, menthol, and eucalyptol. several str ...	1998	9990726
