Molecular Investigations Of Marine Microbial Ecology Project 5. Molecular investigations of marine microbial ecology. Principal Investigators Chris Scholin, Ed DeLong. A diverse group http://www.mbari.org/rd/projects/1998/project5.html
Extractions: circulation ... 1997 Projects Project 5 Molecular investigations of marine microbial ecology Principal Investigators: Chris Scholin , Ed DeLong A diverse group of microorganisms, from unicellular algae to bacteria and viruses, play integral roles in the cycling of nutrients and other compounds in the ocean. Current methods for identifying microbial species and linking them to specific biogeochemical processes are time consuming and often problematic, hindering scientific pursuits to understand the role microbes play in the environment. For the rapid identification of certain toxic algae , MBARI researchers have devised molecular probes which are being evaluated in many locations around the world. These probes continue to undergo refinements to improve their reliability and make them easier to use. At the same time, the microbial researchers are expanding investigations into the far broader realm of non-toxic species to determine whether a similar genetic-based strategy is viable for pinning down the identity of these other, more prevalent microorganisms. This work could potentially contribute to a much more detailed understanding of marine ecosytems and their biodiversity, as well as improve our understanding of the evolution of marine microorganisms. Over the long term, the goal is to integrate ecological studies of marine microbes with the more broad-scale chemical, biological, and physical oceanographic research of
Microbial Ecology Of Biofilms In Beef Processing Facilities microbial ecology of Biofilms in Beef Processing Facilities March 2000 by Rena Orr http//cattle.guelph.on.ca/communications/biofilmsschraft-mar00.html. http://cattle.guelph.on.ca/communications/biofilms-schraft-mar00.html
Extractions: http://cattle.guelph.on.ca/communications/biofilms-schraft-mar00.html Biofilms are bacterial populations that adhere to each other and to surfaces in the environment while being enclosed in a dense matrix of carbohydrates or polysaccharides. Researchers at the University of Guelph are working to improve their understanding of microbial pathogens in beef, prevent their passage into the food chain and support the development of new processes which improve the quality of beef. Dr. Heidi Schraft, an assistant professor in the department of food science at the University of Guelph, says the work, supported by the Ontario Cattlemens Association, will contribute to a better understanding of the microbial ecology of biofilms present in the meat industry. Biofilm-associated microorganisms (BAM) can change their appearance or phenotype and develop a different type of growth pattern. The most important features of such bacteria are smaller cell size and resistance to antimicrobial agents such as disinfectants. Although they are alive and grow in the environment, these bacteria cannot be grown in a culture and identified in the laboratory. The term for this trait is viable but non-culturable (VBNC).

Microbial Ecology Proposal to Create a Program of Excellence for the Study of microbial ecology in Food Animal Agriculture. The impact of food animal http://ansci.osu.edu/maple/microbial_ecology.htm
Extractions: Home Up What is MAPLE MAPLE team members ... Contact MAPLE Proposal to Create a Program of Excellence for the Study of Microbial Ecology in Food Animal Agriculture. The impact of food animal production on the environment is a current, critical public issue. As the industry has made improvements in management, efficiency, and economic viability of food animal production to meet the needs for meat and milk throughout the world, the effect of this increased and concentrated production on the environment has become a focal point of concern. The microbiology of these environments cant be ignored, as evidenced by the heightened public concerns of animal agricultures potential contribution to the onset and spread of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Ohio agriculture requires a strong and innovative research program designed to assess, and ultimately minimize, the transference of antibiotic resistance genes among microbes in food animal production environments. The Departments of Animal Sciences and Veterinary Preventive Medicine have defined this as a key endeavor and have established a commonality of purpose, drawing on the affinity in research interests among new and established faculty in both Departments. The immediate focus for this team will be to investigate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in food animal production environments. In addition to their use to thwart bacterial infections, antibiotics are also fed to food animals in sub-therapeutic levels to enhance growth. Bacteria, especially in environments where antibiotics are used, are constantly evolving, and through processes called
Impact Of Elevated CO2 On Soil Microbial Ecology Imapct of Elevated CO 2 on Soil microbial ecology. Collaborators CSIRO, Division of Plant Industry, Canberra, Australia. Macaulay Contact http://www.mluri.sari.ac.uk/research/co2_res.html
Extractions: Thursday June 10, 2004 "Research Today for Land Use Tomorrow" Text Only Version International Research EU Funded Contracts International Feed Resource Unit Macaulay Contact Through international collaboration with CSIRO in Canberra we were able to address these questions, bringing together their expertise in plant physiological responses to elevated CO2 and our expertise on microbial community assessment. The phytotron growth facilities at CSIRO, dedicated to elevated CO2 studies, were used to grow swards of Danthonia richardsonii (a native C3 Australian grass) at ambient and twice ambient CO2 and varying levels of low N application (20, 60, 180 kg N ha-1). We were able to show that the C:N ratio of shoots, plant litter, roots and soil increased in plants grown at elevated CO2 and there was an increase in total soil carbon at elevated CO2 across all N treatments. We used the Biolog system to construct community level physiological profiles (CLPP) of the microorganisms from the rhizosphere of D. richardsonii. We used Biolog GN and MT plates, the latter to which more ecologically relevant root exudate C sources were added, to characterise the communities. We showed that microbial community structure, in the rhizosphere of D. richardsonii, changes when the plants are grown at elevated CO2, with a preferential stimulation of fungal growth (Figure 1). This is the first study to demonstrate such a change. These changes were due to the grass exuding compounds with a higher C:N ratio when grown at elevated CO2. This was reflected in a significantly greater utilisation of all C sources, except those with a low C:N ratio (neutral and acidic amino acids, amides, N-heterocycles, long chain aliphatics) by microbial communities from the rhizosphere of elevated CO2

Extractions: Microbial studies encompass the distribution, abundance, physiological status, and growth rates of these organisms as well as their symbiotic interactions, population diversity and dynamics, and biochemical adaptations. Molecular biological methods are increasingly applied to these areas of research. Other marine microbial stud ies include food-chain dynamics, production of bioactive compounds such as toxins and extracellular enzymes, and speciation and phylogeny. Some of the current research areas in microbiology include: Bacterial chemosynthesis is the base of the food chain for the hydrothermal vent biota. The laboratory of Carl Wirsen and Stefan Sievert investigates the diversity of aerobic sulfide oxidizing bacteria and anaerobic, hyperthermophilic, sulfur reducing archaea, as well as their physiology, ecology and biotechnological applications. The bacterial turnover of dissolved organic matter in the world oceans is pivotal for the global carbon budget. A pressurized chemostat is used in the laboratory of Carl Wirsen and Stefan Sievert to measure metabolic activities of bacterial isolates that are adapted to high pressure, low temperature and low concentrations of organic substrates.
