Efficient molecular cloning of environmental DNA from geothermal sediments
(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 ...
The search for the ideal biocatalyst
(Nature Publishing Group, 2002)
While the use of enzymes as biocatalysts to assist in the industrial manufacture of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals has enormous potential, application is frequently limited by evolution-led catalyst traits. The advent ...
Antarctic Dry Valley mineral soils contain unexpectedly high levels of microbial biomass
(Springer Verlag, 2002)
We have applied bioluminescent ATP detection
methods to microbial enumeration in Antarctic Dry Valley
mineral soils, and validated our ATP data by two independent
methods. We have demonstrated that ATP measurement
is ...
Biodegradation of high-concentration isopropanol by a solvent-tolerant thermophile, Bacillus pallidus
(Springer Verlag, 2002)
The aerobic biodegradation of high-concentration,
to 24 g l

, 2-propanol (IPA) by a thermophilic isolate
ST3, identified as
Bacillus pallidus
, was successfully carried
out for the first time. This solvent-tolerant
