Captured diversity in a culture collection: Case study of the geographic and habitat distributions of environmental isolates held at the American type culture collection
Article Abstract:
The use of molecular techniques to assess prokaryotic diversity independent of the need for enrichment culture has profoundly changed the way microbial diversity is studied. Analysis of the geographic locations and habitat types of environmental isolates at the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) showed that there were significant disparities between both locations and habitats that were represented in the culture collection.

Microbial diversity in ultra-high-pressure rocks and fluids from the Chinese continental scientific drilling project in China
Article Abstract:
An investigation is conducted on the microbial diversity and abundance in ultra-high-pressure (UHP) rocks from depths 529 to 2,026 m by culture dependent and independent approaches. The results suggest that there is a unique microbial community in the deep rocks and geological fluids, and the measured and inferred functions of close sequences are consistent with the geochemical environments.

Geographical distribution and diversity of bacteria associated with natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster
Article Abstract:
The geographical distribution and diversity of the bacteria associated with natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster is being described. The analysis shows no relationship between the species richness and several other abiotic factors, including temperature and latitude.
