Journal ArticleDOI
Imperfect Oriented Attachment: Dislocation Generation in Defect-Free Nanocrystals
R. Lee Penn,Jillian F. Banfield +1 more
TL;DR: Spiral growth at two or more closely spaced screw dislocations provides a mechanism for generating complex polytypic and polymorphic structures and is of fundamental importance to understanding crystal growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community structure and metabolism through reconstruction of microbial genomes from the environment
Gene W. Tyson,Jarrod Chapman,Jarrod Chapman,Philip Hugenholtz,Eric E. Allen,Rachna J. Ram,Paul G. Richardson,Victor V. Solovyev,Edward M. Rubin,Daniel S. Rokhsar,Daniel S. Rokhsar,Jillian F. Banfield +11 more
TL;DR: Reconstruction of near-complete genomes of Leptospirillum group II and Ferroplasma type II and analysis of the gene complement for each organism revealed the pathways for carbon and nitrogen fixation and energy generation, and provided insights into survival strategies in an extreme environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggregation-Based Crystal Growth and Microstructure Development in Natural Iron Oxyhydroxide Biomineralization Products
TL;DR: High-resolution transmission electron microscopy of biomineralization products of iron-oxidizing bacteria revealed an alternative coarsening mechanism in which adjacent 2- to 3-nanometer particles aggregate and rotate so their structures adopt parallel orientations in three dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new view of the tree of life
Laura A. Hug,Laura A. Hug,Brett J. Baker,Karthik Anantharaman,Christopher T. Brown,Alexander J. Probst,Cindy J. Castelle,Cristina N. Butterfield,Alex W Hernsdorf,Yuki Amano,Kotaro Ise,Yohey Suzuki,Natasha Dudek,David A. Relman,David A. Relman,Kari M. Finstad,Ronald Amundson,Brian C. Thomas,Jillian F. Banfield,Jillian F. Banfield +19 more
TL;DR: New genomic data from over 1,000 uncultivated and little known organisms, together with published sequences, are used to infer a dramatically expanded version of the tree of life, with Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya included.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding polymorphic phase transformation behavior during growth of nanocrystalline aggregates: insights from tio2
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of particle size on phase stability and phase transformation during growth of nanocrystalline aggregates was investigated using titania (TiO2) samples consisting of anatase and brookite.
