Researchers develop a new method to simultaneously measure flow and oxygen - Accurate and fast as never before

25-May-2022 - An international research team headed by the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Aarhus University and the Science for Life Lab in Uppsala has developed tiny particles that measure the oxygen concentration in their surroundings. In this way, they can track fluid flow and ...

Scientists sucessfully decoded the structure of the enzyme responsible for ethane fixation

09-Jul-2021 - Hot vents in the deep sea are home to microbes that feed on ethane. They were discovered recently from scientists of the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology. Now the researchers from Bremen succeeded in finding an important component in the microbial conversion of the gas. They were able ...

A user-friendly method to reconstruct and analyze SSU rRNA from raw metagenome data

10-Nov-2020 - First the background: Microbiologists traditionally determine which organisms they are dealing with using the small subunit ribosomal RNA or in short SSU rRNA gene. This marker gene allows to identify almost any living creature, be it a bacterium or an animal, and thus assign it to its place in ...

Genomic Standards for the Future: Setting the Guidelines

Using the new MIGS standard genomic and environmental data fields can be attributed to the different organisms

22-May-2008 - The pace of genomic sequencing has increased dramatically in the last years due to new sequencing techniques. At present, more than 1000 complete genomes of single cell organisms (Bacteria and Archaea) and 100 Eukaryotes (plants, animals, algae) are available in public genome databases like EMBL ...
