Culture-independent characterization of the microbiota of the ant lion Myrmeleon mobilis (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)
Article Abstract:
The culture-independent characterization of the microbiota of the ant lion, Myrmeleon mobilis, and of the bacteria associated with a discontinuous insect gut is reported. The results have suggested that the ant lion microbial community is relatively simple, which might be a reflection of the diet and gut physiology of these insects.

Characterization of bacterial communities associated with deep sea corals on Gulf of Alaska seamounts
Article Abstract:
Bacterial communities associated with deep-sea corals on Gulf of Alaska seamounts were characterized. A cultivation-independent analysis of Alaskan seamount octocoral microflora showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria dominate and vary in abundance.

New rfp- and pES213-derived tools for analysing symbiotic Vibrio fischeri reveal patterns of infection and lux expression in situ
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the symbiosis of genetically altered or tagged Vibrio fischeri strains, provided by powerful experimental approach. It was observed that pES213-based vectors and rfp are made use of in situ experimental approaches in studying the symbiosis.
