Gene transfer from a bacterium injected into an aquifer to an indigenous bacterium
Jizhong Zhou,James M. Tiedje +1 more
TL;DR: To understand the origin of 3‐chlorobenzoate‐degrading genes in the two novel isolates, the 16S ribosomal RNA, clcD (dienelactone hydrolase) and clcA (chlorocatechol oxygenase) genes from these bacteria were amplified and sequenced.

Detection and quantification of copper-denitrifying bacteria by quantitative competitive PCR.
Xiaoyun Qiu,Xiaoyun Qiu,Richard A. Hurt,Liyou Wu,Liyou Wu,C. H. Chen,James M. Tiedje,Jizhong Zhou,Jizhong Zhou +8 more
TL;DR: A quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) system to detect and quantify copper-denitrifying bacteria in environmental samples from eastern Tennessee showed very similar amplification efficiency with the target nirKfragment over 4 orders of magnitude.

Functional gene composition, diversity and redundancy in microbial stream biofilm communities.
TL;DR: There were significant differences between nitrogen and sulphur cycling genes detected in native forest and urban samples compared to exotic forest and rural samples, which suggests the existence of functional gene redundancy among different stream biofilm communities despite contrasting taxonomic composition.
NifH-Harboring Bacterial Community Composition across an Alaskan Permafrost Thaw Gradient.

TL;DR: It is suggested that permafrost thaw alters the class-level composition of N2-fixing communities in the thawed soil layers and that this distinction corresponds to the depth of the water table.
AggA is required for aggregation and increased biofilm formation of a hyper-aggregating mutant of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1.
Wim De Windt,Haichun Gao,Wolfgang Krömer,Petra Van Damme,Jan Dick,Jan Mast,Nico Boon,Jizhong Zhou,Willy Verstraete +8 more
TL;DR: An insertional mutation in the S. oneidensis COAG aggA locus resulted in loss of the hyper-aggregating properties and the increased biofilm-forming capability, and by complementing this mutation with the vector pCM62, expressing the aggA gene, biofilm formation was restored to at least the level of the MR-1 wild-type.
