    Microsensors as a tool to determine chemical microgradients and bacterial activity in wastewater biofilms and flocs (1998)
    Springer
    Biodegradation 9 (1998), S. 159-167 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9729
    Keywords: activated sludge ; biofilm ; microbial activity ; microsensors ; sulfate reduction
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power Engineering , Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Abstract Microsensors used in microbial ecology are reviewed with emphasis on new sensor developments (NO3 -, NO2 -, NH4 +, CO2, H2, H2S and CH4 microsensors as well as fiberoptical microsensors for O2, temperature and pH). Examples of microsensor applications in biofilms and activated sludge flocs are presented, where sulfate reduction and denitrification were studied.

    Biodiversity within hot spring microbial mat communities: molecular monitoring of enrichment cultures (1997)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract We have begun to examine the basis for incongruence between hot spring microbial mat populations detected by cultivation or by 16S rRNA methods. We used denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to monitor enrichments and isolates plated therefrom. At near extincting inoculum dilutions we observed Chloroflexus-like and cyanobacterial populations whose 16S rRNA sequences have been detected in the ‘New Pit’ Spring Chloroflexus mat and the Octopus Spring cyanobacterial mat. Cyanobacterial populations enriched from 44 to 54°C and 56 to 63°C samples at near habitat temperatures were similar to those previously detected in mat samples of comparable temperatures. However, a lower temperature enrichment from the higher temperature sample selected for the populations found in the lower temperature sample. Three Thermus populations detected by both DGGE and isolation exemplify even more how enrichment may bias our view of community structure. The most abundant population was adap ted to the habitat temperature (50°C), while populations adapted to 65°C and 70°C were 102- and 104-fold less abundant, respectively. However, enrichment at 70°C favored the least abundant strain. Inoculum dilution and incubation at the habitat temperature favored the more numerically relevant populations. We enriched many other aerobic chemoorganotropic populations at various inoculum dilutions and substrate concentrations, most of whose 16S rRNA sequences have not been detected in mats. A common feature of numerically relevant cyanobacterial, Chloroflexus-like and aerobic chemorganotrophic populations, is that they grow poorly and resist cultivation on solidified medium, suggesting plating bias, and that the medium composition and incubation conditions may not reflect the natural microenvironments these populations inhabit.
