Molecular analysis of microbial community structures in pristine and contaminated aquifers: Field and laboratory microcosm experiments Molecular analysis of microbial community structures in pristine and contaminated aquifers: Field and laboratory microcosm experiments

This study used phylogenetic probes in hybridization analysis to (i) determine in situ microbial community structures in regions of a shallow sand aquifer that were oxygen depleted and fuel contaminated (FC) or aerobic and noncontaminated (NC) and (ii) examine alterations in microbial community structures resulting from exposure to toluene and/or electron acceptor supplementation...

Adsorption of bacteriophages on clay minerals Adsorption of bacteriophages on clay minerals

The ability to predict the fate of microorganisms in soil is dependent on an understanding of the process of their sorption on soil and subsurface materials. Presently, we have focused on studying the thermodynamics of sorption of bacteriophages (T-2, MS-2, and φX-174) on clays (hectorite, saponite, kaolinite, and clay fraction of samples collected from a landfill site). The...
