1.
A molecular and physiological survey of a diverse collection of hydrothermal vent Thermococcus and Pyrococcus isolates
Teske A, Edgcomb V, Rivers A, Thompson J, de Vera Gomez A, Molyneaux S, et al.
Extremophiles . 2009 Sep; 13(6):905-15. PMID: 19763742
Strains of hyperthermophilic anaerobic hydrothermal vent archaea maintained in the culture collection assembled by Holger Jannasch at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution between 1984 and 1998 were identified and partially...
2.
Growth and mechanism of filamentous-sulfur formation by Candidatus Arcobacter sulfidicus in opposing oxygen-sulfide gradients
Sievert S, Wieringa E, Wirsen C, Taylor C
Environ Microbiol . 2007 Jan; 9(1):271-6. PMID: 17227432
Studies were conducted in opposing gradients of oxygen and sulfide in microslide capillaries to (i) characterize the chemical microenvironment preferred by Candidatus Arcobacter sulfidicus, a highly motile, sulfur-oxidizing bacterium that...
3.
Survival and growth of two heterotrophic hydrothermal vent archaea, Pyrococcus strain GB-D and Thermococcus fumicolans, under low pH and high sulfide concentrations in combination with high temperature and pressure regimes
Edgcomb V, Molyneaux S, Boer S, Wirsen C, Saito M, Atkins M, et al.
Extremophiles . 2006 Nov; 11(2):329-42. PMID: 17111090
Growth and survival of hyperthermophilic archaea in their extreme hydrothermal vent and subsurface environments are controlled by chemical and physical key parameters. This study examined the effects of elevated sulfide...

Effects of dissolved sulfide, pH, and temperature on growth and survival of marine hyperthermophilic Archaea
Lloyd K, Edgcomb V, Molyneaux S, Boer S, Wirsen C, Atkins M, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2005 Oct; 71(10):6383-7. PMID: 16204562
The ability of metabolically diverse hyperthermophilic archaea to withstand high temperatures, low pHs, high sulfide concentrations, and the absence of carbon and energy sources was investigated. Close relatives of our...

Evidence for autotrophic CO2 fixation via the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle by members of the epsilon subdivision of proteobacteria
Hugler M, Wirsen C, Fuchs G, Taylor C, Sievert S
J Bacteriol . 2005 Apr; 187(9):3020-7. PMID: 15838028
Based on 16S rRNA gene surveys, bacteria of the epsilon subdivision of proteobacteria have been identified to be important members of microbial communities in a variety of environments, and quite...

Sulfide ameliorates metal toxicity for deep-sea hydrothermal vent archaea
Edgcomb V, Molyneaux S, Saito M, Lloyd K, Boer S, Wirsen C, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2004 Apr; 70(4):2551-5. PMID: 15066859
The chemical stress factors for microbial life at deep-sea hydrothermal vents include high concentrations of heavy metals and sulfide. Three hyperthermophilic vent archaea, the sulfur-reducing heterotrophs Thermococcus fumicolans and Pyrococcus...

Invariant chlorine isotopic signatures during microbial PCB reductive dechlorination
Drenzek N, Eglinton T, Wirsen C, Sturchio N, Heraty L, Sowers K, et al.
Environ Pollut . 2004 Jan; 128(3):445-8. PMID: 14720486
In order to develop more robust insight into the natural attenuation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the chlorine isotopic composition of residual 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobiphenyl (2,3,4,5-CB) was monitored as it underwent microbial reductive...
