    • Efficient molecular cloning of environmental DNA from geothermal sediments 

      Wilkinson, Dianne E.; Jaenicke, Thomas; Cowan, Donald A. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002)
      An efficient and simple method for constructing an environmental library using mechanically sheared DNA obtained directly from geothermal sediments is presented. The method is based on blunt-end modification of DNA fragments ...

    • Metagenomics, gene discovery and the ideal biocatalyst 

      Cowan, Donald A.; Arslanoglu, A.; Burton, Stephanie G.; Cameron, Rory A.; Baker, Gillian; Smith, Jacques J.; Meyer, Quinton (Portland Press, 2004)
      With the rapid development of powerful protein evolution and enzyme-screening technologies, there is a growing belief that optimum conditions for biotransformation processes can be established without the constraints of ...

    • Three novel bacteria associated with two centric diatom species from the Mediterranean Sea, Thalassiosira rotula and Skeletonema marinoi 

      Di Costanzo, Federica; Di Dato, Valeria; van Zyl, Leonardo Joaquim (MPDI, 2021)
      Diatoms are a successful group of microalgae at the base of the marine food web. For hundreds of millions of years, they have shared common habitats with bacteria, which favored the onset of interactions at different ...

    • Virome assembly and annotation: A surprise in the Namib Desert 

      Hesse, Uljana; Van Heusden, Peter; Kirby, Bronwyn; Olonade, Israel; van Zyl, Leonardo Joaquim; Trindade, Marla (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017)
      Sequencing, assembly, and annotation of environmental virome samples is challenging. Methodological biases and differences in species abundance result in fragmentary read coverage; sequence reconstruction is further ...
