Bacterial biogeography of the rare Charitable Research Reserve
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)Soil microbial communities play a dominant role in global biogeochemical cycles, with profound effects on agriculture, ecosystem stability, human health, and global climate. As a result, assessing their biogeographic ... -
Spatiotemporal Shifts in Cyanobacterial Communities in a Northern Temperate Watershed – Applications of Next-Generation Sequencing and Implications for Monitoring and Climate Change Adaptation
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-05)Cyanobacteria, a group of photosynthetic bacteria, threaten water quality and drinking water resources globally through the production of potent toxins and the formation of dense surface blooms. These bloom events are ... -
Targeting novel soil glycosyl hydrolases by combining stable isotope probing and metagenomics
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-25)Soil represents the largest global reservoir of microbial diversity for the discovery of novel genes and enzymes. Both stable-isotope probing (SIP) and metagenomics have been used to access uncultured microbial diversity, ...
