Inhibition of fungal colonization by Pseudoalteromonas tunicata provides a competitive advantage during surface colonization
Article Abstract:
The hypothesis that the ability to inhibit fungi provides Pseudoalteromonas tunicata with an advantage during colonization of surface is tested. Double gradient denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis revealed that after 48 hours, the wild-type P. tunicata had outcompeted the surface-associated fungal community, whereas the antifungal-deficient mutant had no effect on the fungal community.

Stable isotope ratios and forensic analysis of microorganisms
Article Abstract:
The use of stable isotope ratios in microbial forensics is discussed by making use of the carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen stable isotope ratios of 247 separate cultures of Bacillus subtilis. The stable isotope ratios of C, N, O, and H for are correlated growth medium nutrients or water with Bacillus subtilis spores.
