Organo-iodine formation in soils and aquifer sediments at ambient concentrations.
TL;DR: It was shown that iodine interactions with soils and aquifer sediments were highly dependent on I- concentrations added to sediment suspensions, contact time with the sediment, and organic carbon content, resulting in an empirical particle-water partition coefficient (Kd) that was an inverse power function of the added I- concentration.

A novel approach for the simultaneous determination of iodide, iodate and organo-iodide for 127I and 129I in environmental samples using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: A sensitive and rapid method was developed which enables determination of isotopic ratios of speciated iodine and was successfully applied to water samples from the contaminated Savannah River Site, South Carolina, and more pristine Galveston Bay, Texas.

Concentration-dependent mobility, retardation, and speciation of iodine in surface sediment from the Savannah River Site.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the mobility of iodine species greatly depends on, in addition to the type of species, the iodine concentration used, presumably limited by the number of surface organic carbon binding sites to form covalent bonds.

Diversity of bacteria in ships ballast water as revealed by next generation DNA sequencing.
TL;DR: The bacterial diversity in ballast water from five general cargo ships calling at the Port of Houston was determined with ion semiconductor DNA sequencing (Ion Torrent PGM) of PCR amplified 16S rRNA genes and the predominant group of bacteria was the Roseobacter clade within the Alphaproteobacteria.

The effects of temperature, pH, and iron on biofilm formation by clinical versus environmental strains of Vibrio vulnificus
TL;DR: It is indicated that biofilm formation might be important for the survival of Vibrio vulnificus in vivo as well as in the marine environment and with regard to temperature and pH, higher biofilm production appears to be a trait of clinical strains and could be considered a virulence determinant in V. vulnIFICus.
