Relationship of temporal and spatial variabilities of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria to nitrification rates in Monterey Bay, California
Article Abstract:
Temporal and spatial dynamics of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) were examined using genes encoding 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase subunit A in Monterey Bay, California. It was found that AOB populations from Monterey Bay were dominated by Nitrosospira-like sequences, while AOB populations in the adjacent Elkhorn Slough were dominated by N. marina-like sequences.

Protein-mediated adhesion of the dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacterium Shewanella alga BrY to hydrous ferric oxide
Article Abstract:
Research concerning identification of the molecules used by bacterium Shewanella alga BrY to adhere to hydrous ferric oxide is presented. Results demonstrate an important role surface proteins play in the adhesion process.
