Diversity and distribution in hypersaline microbial mats of bacteria related to Chloroflexus spp

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the filamentous bacteria containing bacteriochlorophylls c and a. The enrichment of these bacteria from the hypersaline microbial mats has been carried out and the results are described.

Uncultivated cyanobacteria, chloroflexus-like inhabitants and spirochete-like inhabitants of a hot spring microbial mat

Article Abstract:

The derivation from the Octopus Spring cyanobacterial mat of 16S rRNA sequences as cDNA is discussed. The fragments were retieved from a cDNA library. Several previously uncharacterized communitymembers were recognized by the sequence information. It was found that size selection can cause a bias against the recovery of certain sequences as revealed in the analysis of shorter rcDNA products.

Compound-specific isotopic fractionation patterns suggest different carbon metabolisms among Chloroflexus-like bacteria in hot-spring microbial mats

Article Abstract:

The differences in the carbon isotopic fractionation between inorganic carbon and lipid biomakers indicate photoautotrophic process in chloroflexus-like bacteria in sulfidic and nonsulfidic hotsprings. Research further shows that photoheterotrophy also exists in the hot-spring microbial mats when cyanobacteria cross-feed chloroflexus-like organisms.
