Review and re-analysis of domain-specific 16S primers
(Elsevier, 2003)
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has facilitated the detection of unculturable microorganisms in virtually any environmental source and has thus been used extensively in the assessment of environmental microbial diversity. ...
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 ...
Three species of Mastophora (Rhodophyta: Corallinales, Corallinaceae) in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean: M. rosea (C. Agardh) Setchell, M. pacifica (Heydrich) Foslie, and M. multistrata sp. nov
(International Phycological Society, 2009)
Three species of Mastophora (Corallinaceae, Corallinales, Rhodophyta) were found in extensive studies of non-geniculate coralline algae in various areas of the tropical Indo-Pacific, including French Polynesia, Fiji, Ryukyu ...
IC and RC band time-series observations of some bright ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2005)
The results of more than 100 h of CCD photometric monitoring of 10 L dwarfs and two T dwarfs
are presented. Reasonable evidence is shown for IC band variability in DENIS 0255−4700,
DENIS 1705−0516 and 2M 2104−1037. ...
A revision of the genus Strongylodesma Lévi (Porifera: Demospongiae: Latrunculiidae) with descriptions of four new species
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)
The sponge genus Strongylodesma is reviewed and redefined, and now accommodates eight closely related species. The type species of Strongylodesma Le´vi is redescribed and an additional two new species are described from ...
Fitting power-law distributions to data with measurement errors
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
If X, which follows a power-law distribution, is observed subject to Gaussian measurement
error e, thenX+e is distributed as the convolution of the power-lawand Gaussian distributions.
Maximum-likelihood estimation of ...
Fitting sinusoids to observations of rotating spotted stars
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
It is assumed that K blocks (e.g. seasons) of observations are available, and the parameters
characterizing a fixed-frequency sinusoidal variability (mean light level, amplitude, phase)
are constant within each of the ...
Improved SAAO–2MASS photometry transformations
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
Near-infrared photometry of 599 stars is used to calculate transformations from the South
African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) JHK system to the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey
(2MASS) JHKS system. Both several-term formal ...
Structure of an aliphatic amidase from Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8
(International Union of Crystallography, 2007)
The amidase from Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8, a moderate
thermophile, is a member of the nitrilase superfamily and
catalyzes the conversion of amides to the corresponding
carboxylic acids and ammonia. It shows both ...
PCR-based detection of non-indigenous microorganisms in ‘pristine’ environments
(Elsevier, 2003)
PCR-based technologies are widely employed for the detection of specific microorganisms, and may be applied to the identification of non-indigenous microorganisms in ‘pristine’ environments. For ‘pristine’ environments ...
