Eubacteria

Membrane fatty acids were extracted from a sediment core above marine gas hydrates at Hydrate Ridge, NE Pacific. Anaerobic sediments from this environment are characterized by high sulfate reduction rates driven by the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). The assimilation of methane carbon into bacterial biomass is indicated by carbon isotope values of specific fatty acids as low as -103 per mill. Specific fatty acids released from bacterial membranes include C 16:1 omega 5c , C 17:1 omega 6c , and cyC 17:0 omega 5,6 , all of which have been fully characterized by mass spectrometry.

the aim of EcoliWiki is to generate community-based pages about everything related to non-pathogenic E. coli, its phages, plasmids, and mobile genetic elements

this database provides infomation to facilitate a multigenic sequence analysis in Pseudomonas taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution. The database has been elaborated with a collection of 423 strain names; representing approximately 99 species of the Pseudomonas genus encompassing plant associated and phytopathogenic bacteria, bacteria of medical importance, marine bacteria and various groups of biotechnological interest (such as nitrogen fixers, denitrifiers, biodegraders, etc.).

Geobacter species are of interest because of their novel electron transfer capabilities, impact on the natural environment and their application to the bioremediation of contaminated environments as well as their ability to harvest electricity from waste organic matter and renewable biomass

the laboratory is engaged in the analysis of bacterial virulence and functional genomics. The goal of these studies is to understand how pathogenic bacteria grow, evade the host immune system and ultimately cause disease. A variety of organisms are currently studied in the laboratory including several Vibrio species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
