The novel fungal strain, Fusarium sp. DS 682, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the perennial grass, Bouteloua gracilis , at the Konza Prairie Biological Station in Kansas. This fungal strain is common across North American grasslands and is resilient to environmental fluctuations. The draft...
As part of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL) Science Focus Area program, we are investigating the impact of environmental change on microbial community function in grassland soils. Three grassland soils, representing different moisture regimes, were selected for ultra-deep...

Viral communities detected from three large grassland soil metagenomes with historically different precipitation moisture regimes.

"DNA Viral Diversity, Abundance, and Functional Potential Vary across Grassland Soils with a Range of Historical Moisture Regimes" Soil viruses are abundant, but the influence of the environment and climate on soil viruses remains poorly understood. Here, we addressed this gap by comparing the...

Aluminate salts precipitated from caustic alkaline solutions exhibit a correlation between the anionic speciation and the identity of the alkali cation in the precipitate, with the aluminate ions occurring either in monomeric (Al(OH)4–) or dimeric (Al2O(OH)62–) forms. The origin of this correlation...

To better understand the effects of solution chemistry on particle aggregation in the complex legacy tank wastes at the Hanford (WA) and Savannah River (SC) sites, we have performed a series of tumbler small- and ultra-small-angle neutron scattering experiments on 20 wt % solid slurries of...

Understanding, controlling, and preventing aggregation of suspended particles is of fundamental importance in a number of scientific and industrial fields. There are several methods for analyzing aggregate morphology and aggregation kinetics, but small-angle scattering (SAS) techniques provide...

The Sequel II System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by PacBio , and is designed for high throughput, production-scale sequencing laboratories. Originally released in 2015, the Sequel system provides Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing core...

In highly alkaline “water-in-salt” Na2O/Al2O3/H2O solutions where the monomeric Al(OH)4– anion dominates, isolation of transitional species that seed crystallization of sodium aluminate salt hydrates has been challenging. For example, discrimination of dimeric [for example, Al2O(OH)62–] species via...

Crystallization of Al3+-bearing solid phases from highly alkaline Na2O:Al2O3:H2O solutions commonly necessitates an Al3+ coordination change from tetrahedral to octahedral, but intermediate coordination states are often difficult to isolate. Here, a similar Al3+ coordination change process is...

The Illumina MiSeq System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by Illumina , and is designed for sequencing data acquisition using synthesis technology to provide an end-to-end solution (cluster generation, amplification, sequencing, and data analysis) in a...

The Illumina HiSeq X System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by Illumina , and is designed for high throughput, production-scale sequencing laboratories. Built off the HiSeq 2500 System, harnessing the patterned flow cell technology originally developed...

The Illumina HiSeq 4000 System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by Illumina , and is designed for high throughput, production-scale sequencing laboratories. Built off the HiSeq 2500 System and harnessing the patterned flow cell technology originally...
