WALNUT CREEK, CA—In line with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) interest in characterizing the biotic factors involved in global carbon cycling, the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) characterizes a diverse array of plants, microorganisms, and the communities in which they reside to inform options for reducing and stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases. Through a novel…
Genomic model research on Huliq
Cavicchioli and his lab compared the traits of S. alaskensis‘ genome against the genome of Photobacterium angustum, a bacterium collected and sequenced from the warmer, nutrient-rich waters off Sydney, Australia. They then tested the model developed based on these two genomes to successfully predict whether several dozen bacterial samples were those that grow in nutrient-rich…

‘The method used by Cavicchioli’s group to predict bacterial habits lends credence to the idea that sequencing cultivated organisms is biased toward sequencing those that thrive in nutrient-rich conditions, even though those that get by in nutrient-poor conditions are more abundant in the environment,’ Kyrpides said. ‘Despite the number of microbial genome projects being done,…

With other UNSW and US colleagues, Professor Cavicchioli compared the genomes of two common ocean bacteria that employ different strategies for living: one lives in nutrient-rich waters and is fast to grow and replicate itself, and another lives in poor-nutrient waters, and grows more slowly. The findings are published in the Proceedings of the National…

Sampling just a few genes can reveal not only the “lifestyle” of marine microbes but of their entire environments, new research suggests. The finding means researchers may be able to predict the types of microbes that thrive in specific marine environments by sampling the genomes of just a few dominant species, according to research co-author…

The oceans, which make up 71 percent of our planet’s surface, are home to microorganisms that are adapted to life strategies along a continuum of two extremes: those that thrive in nutrient-rich waters often associated with warmer regions and those that prefer nutrient-poor waters. Collected from waters off the Alaskan coast, the bacterium Sphingopyxis alaskensis…

Now an international team of researchers led by scientists at the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI), the French applied research center IFP—particularly concerned with renewable resources and energies—and the Vienna Univ. of Technology (TU Vienna) provides the first genome-wide look at what these mutations are in order to understand just how cellulase production was first…
