      Beam J.P., Becraft E.D., Brown J.M., Schulz F., Jarett J.K., Bezuidt O., Poulton N.J., Clark K., Dunfield P.F., Ravin N.V., Spear J.R., Hedlund B.P., Kormas K.A., Sievert S.M., Elshahed M.S., Barton H.A., Stott M.B., Eisen J.A., Moser D.P., Onstott T.C., Woyke T., Stepanauskas R. (2020)
      Recent discoveries suggest that the candidate superphyla Patescibacteria and DPANN constitute a large fraction of the phylogenetic diversity of Bacteria and Archaea. Their small genomes and limited coding potential have ...
    • Application of rpoB sequence similarity analysis, REP-PCR and BOX-PCR for the differentiation of species within the genus Geobacillus 

      Meintanis, C.; Chalkou, K. I.; Kormas, K. A.; Lymperopoulou, D. S.; Katsifas, E. A.; Hatzinikolaou, D. G.; Karagouni, A. D. (2008)
      Aim: To investigate the applicability of rpoB gene, which encodes the beta subunit of RNA polymerase, to be used as an alternative to 16S rRNA for sequence similarity analysis in the thermophilic genus Geobacillus. Rapid ...
    • Biodegradation of crude oil by thermophilic bacteria isolated from a volcano island 

      Meintanis, C.; Chalkou, K. I.; Kormas, K. A.; Karagouni, A. D. (2006)
      One-hundred and fifty different thermophilic bacteria isolated from a volcanic island were screened for detection of an alkane hydroxylase gene using degenerated primers developed to amplify genes related to the Pseudomonas ...
