It does not always take two to tango: “Syntrophy” via hydrogen cycling in one bacterial cell
Growth of A. woodii A. woodii DSM1030 was cultivated at 30 °C under anoxic conditions in complex medium as previously described [18]. When using the pyrE deletion mutant, 50 mg/l uracil was added to the medium [12]. Unless otherwise stated 20 mM fructose or 20 mM fructose together with H2 + CO2 (80:20 [v/v]) were used as carbon source. Gaseous substrates […] More

Bacterioplankton reveal years-long retention of Atlantic deep-ocean water by the Tropic Seamount
Concentration and phylogenetic characterisation of the sheath-water bacterioplankton An assessment of bacterioplankton enrichment in the sheath-water of Tropic Seamount requires adequate reference sites (Fig. 1). Because the extent of the sheath-water was unknown, we used a nested approach of double referencing: (i) vertical profiles of bacterioplankton concentrations in the seamount-free areas of the North and South […] More
