Publications
Aerobiology and the global transport of desert dustChristina A Kellogg
US Geological Survey, 600 4th St S, St Petersburg, FL 33701, USA
Trends Ecol Evol 21:638-44. 2006..Such dispersal is of interest because of the possible health effects of allergens and pathogens that might be carried with the dust...
Culture-independent characterization of bacterial communities associated with the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa in the northeastern Gulf of MexicoChristina A Kellogg
U S Geological Survey, 600 4th Street South, St Petersburg, Florida 33701, USA
Appl Environ Microbiol 75:2294-303. 2009..The presence of these groups in both Gulf and Norwegian Lophelia corals indicates that in spite of the geographic heterogeneity observed in Lophelia-associated bacterial communities, there are Lophelia-specific microbes...
PhyloChip™ microarray comparison of sampling methods used for coral microbial ecologyChristina A Kellogg
U S Geological Survey, 600 4th Street S, St Petersburg, FL 33701, USA
J Microbiol Methods 88:103-9. 2012..While swabs are useful for noninvasive studies of the coral surface mucus layer, these results show that they are not optimal for studies of coral disease...
Characterization of culturable bacteria isolated from the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusaJulia P Galkiewicz
College of Marine Science, University of South Florida, St Petersburg, FL, USA
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 77:333-46. 2011..These results support the conclusion that phylogenetic placement cannot predict strain-level differences and further highlight the need for culture-based experiments to supplement culture-independent studies...
Cross-kingdom amplification using bacteria-specific primers: complications for studies of coral microbial ecologyJulia P Galkiewicz
University of South Florida, College of Marine Science, 140 7th Ave S, St Petersburg, Florida 33701, USA
Appl Environ Microbiol 74:7828-31. 2008..Commonly used Bacteria-specific primers 8F and 27F paired with the universal primer 1492R amplify both eukaryotic and prokaryotic rRNA genes. An alternative primer set, 63F/1542R, is suggested to resolve this problem...
Microbial consortia of gorgonian corals from the Aleutian islandsMichael A Gray
US Geological Survey, Saint Petersburg, FL 33701, USA
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 76:109-20. 2011..Here we report the first microbiological characterization of P. arborea, P. superba, and C. koolsae...
Comparison of DNA preservation methods for environmental bacterial community samplesMichael A Gray
U S Geological Survey, St Petersburg, FL, USA
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 83:468-77. 2013..No single liquid method clearly outperformed the others, leaving method choice to be based on experimental design, field facilities, shipping constraints, and allowable cost...
