Novel observations of Thiobacterium, a sulfur-storing Gammaproteobacterium producing gelatinous matsStefanie Grünke
HGF MPG Joint Research Group for Deep Sea Ecology and Technology, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany
ISME J 4:1031-43. 2010..Further phylogenetic characterization of the mats led to the discovery of an unexpected microbial diversity associated with Thiobacterium...
Time- and sediment depth-related variations in bacterial diversity and community structure in subtidal sandsSimone I Böer
Microbial habitat group, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Bremen, Germany
ISME J 3:780-91. 2009..Principal ecosystem functions such as benthic oxygen consumption and extracellular hydrolysis of organic matter were, however, at a high level at all times, indicating functional redundancy in the microbial communities...
Species abundance and diversity of Burkholderia cepacia complex in the environmentAlban Ramette
Center for Microbial Ecology, 540 Plant and Soil Sciences Building, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 1325, USA
Appl Environ Microbiol 71:1193-201. 2005..cepacia complex species and closely related strains of the same species may coexist at high population levels but also species composition and abundance may dramatically vary between individual plants...
Identification and onion pathogenicity of Burkholderia cepacia complex isolates from the onion rhizosphere and onion field soilJanette L Jacobs
Department of Plant Pathology, Michigan State University, 62 PBL, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
Appl Environ Microbiol 74:3121-9. 2008..cepacia complex species colonize the onion rhizosphere and have the potential to cause sour skin rot disease of onion. In addition, the onion rhizosphere is a natural habitat and a potential environmental source of B. cenocepacia...

Microbial habitat group, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Bremen, Germany
ISME J 3:756-9. 2009..These findings strongly indicate characteristic coral-microbe associations and, furthermore, suggest that the variety of coral-generated habitats within reef systems promotes microbial diversity in the deep ocean...
