Blueprint of an oil-eating bacterium
Article Abstract:
The first genome sequence of a marine hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium, Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 that devours oil components in the ocean and develops improved bioremediation strategies is described. It is felt that most of the regulatory processes of A. borkumensis SK2 are related to global balancing of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in the context of enduring environmental stresses than to a response to specific tiny signal molecules.

Metagenomic sorcery and the expanding protein universe
Article Abstract:
The Sorcerer II expedition was initiated for the metagenomic study of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from Nova Scotia in the Northwestern Atlantic to Hawaii in the tropical Pacific. The study reveals many dominant bacterial species, vast microdiversity and plenty of new proteins.
