Flexible community structure correlates with stable community function in methanogenic bioreactor communities perturbed by glucose
Article Abstract:
Results demonstrate that in high-spirochete communities a dramatic shift in the relative abundance of fermentative bacteria is seen upon glucose shock whereas in low-spirochete communities perturbation effects are smaller. Data point out that community stability and functional stability are inversely correlated.

Corresponding between community structure and function during succession in phenol- and phenol-plus-trichloroethene-fed sequencing batch reactors
Article Abstract:
The effects of long-term trichloroethene (TCE) application on community structure, succession and reactor performance, by using sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were determined. Periodic changes were observed in the SBR that received phenol only and these changes were not seen in the phenol-plus-TCE fed reactor.

Influence of dangling ends and surface-proximal tails of targets on probe-target duplex formation in 16S rRNA gene-based diagnostic arrays
Article Abstract:
The effect of danglings ends and surface-promixal tails of gene targets on probe-target duplex formation is evaluated by using an oligonucleotide microarray containing 18-mer probes corresponding to the 16S rRNA genes of 10 waterborne pathogens and a number of synthetic and PCR-applied gene targets. The study has highlighted the requirement of a careful target preparation and evaluation of signal intensities for diagnostic arrays by using 16S rRNA and other gene targets because of the potential for target interaction with a complex background.
