The complete alk sequences of Rhodococcus erythropolis from Lake Baikal
BACKGROUND Rhodococci are bacteria able to degrade a wide range of hydrocarbons, including the alkanes present in crude oil, due to alk genes in their genomes. FINDINGS Genome sequencing of DNA from Rhodococcus erythropolis strain 4 (obtained from a deep-water bitumen mound) revealed four alk genes, and the predicted amino acid sequences coded by these genes were highly conserved, having sect...
متن کاملCharacterisation of morbilliviruses isolated from Lake Baikal seals (Phoca sibirica).
Sequence analysis of the haemagglutinin protein (H) gene of the morbillivirus (PDV-2) isolated from a Siberian seal (Phoca sibirica) during the 1987/1988 epizootic in Lake Baikal revealed that it was most closely related to two recent isolates of canine distemper virus (CDV) from Germany and different from CDV vaccines currently in use in that region. The virus continued to circulate in seals i...
متن کاملLate Quaternary lake-level changes constrained by radiocarbon and stable isotope studies on sediment cores from Lake Titicaca, South America
We present and compare AMS-C geochronologies for sediment cores recovered from Lake Titicaca, South America. Radiocarbon dates from three core sites constrain the timing of late Quaternary paleoenvironmental changes in the Central Andes and highlight the site-specific factors that limit the radiocarbon geochronometer. With the exception of mid-Holocene sediments, all cores are generally devoid ...
متن کاملUsing lead isotopes and trace element records from two contrasting Lake Tanganyika sediment cores to assess watershed – Lake exchange
Lead isotopic and trace element records of two contrasting sediment cores were examined to reconstruct historic, industrial contaminant inputs to Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Observed fluxes of Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in age-dated sediments collected from the lake varied both spatially and temporally over the past two to four centuries. The fluxes of trace elements were lower (up to 10-fold) at ...
متن کاملPalynological study of Lake Kotokel’ bottom sediments (Lake Baikal region)
Pollen and AMSC analyses of bottom sediments from the upper nine meters of the Lake Kotokel’ section were carried out. The regional climate and landscape dynamics during the Late Glacial and Holocene has been reconstructed with an average time resolution of ~120 years. It is shown that the climatic conditions in the Kotokel’ basin during Termination I (~15.5–11 ka) were characterized by short d...
