Metagenomics analysis of the microbial community at zodletone spring (Oklahoma): Insights into the genome of a member of the novel candidate division OD1

Article Abstract:

A report on the construction and screening of a metageomic library from Zodletone Spring sediments and analysis of a 35.7-kb DNA fragment that belongs to candidate division OD1 is presented. Analysis of a genomic fragment belonging to candidate division OD1 provided useful insight into the physiology and biochemistry of this novel, yet-uncultured candidate division.

Diversity of the microeukaryotic community in sulfhide-rich Zodletone Spring (Oklahoma)

Article Abstract:

The microeukaryotic community in Zodletone Spring, a predominantly anaerobic sulfide and sulfur-rich spring was examined using an 18S rRNA gene cloning and sequence approach. The work reveals that an unexpected abundance of fungi in anaerobic habitats describes a novel yet-uncultured group of fungi that appears to be wide spread in anaerobic habitats.

Bacterial diversity and sulfur cycling in a mesophilic sulfide-rich spring

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on microbial community in a mesophilic sulfide-rich spring. The authors sugest that sulfide emerging from the spring supports this community which provides substrates for sulfate-reducing and sulfur-cycling bacteria.
