Diversity of Bacteria Growing in Natural Mineral Water after Bottling

Loy, Alexander, Beisker, Wolfgang, Meier, Harald

Bacterial growth occurs in noncarbonated natural mineral waters a few days after filling and storage at room temperature, a phenomenon known for more than 40 years. Using the full-cycle rRNA...

Non-Sulfate-Reducing, Syntrophic Bacteria Affiliated with Desulfotomaculum Cluster I Are Widely Distributed in Methanogenic Environments

Imachi, Hiroyuki, Sekiguchi, Yuji, Kamagata, Yoichi, Loy, Alexander, Qiu, Yan-Ling, Hugenholtz, Philip, ...

The classical perception of members of the gram-positive Desulfotomaculum cluster I as sulfate-reducing bacteria was recently challenged by the isolation of new representatives lacking the ability...
