Improving the quality of barley transcriptome <i>de novo</i> assembling by using a hybrid approach for lines with varying spike and stem coloration by N. A. Shmakov

“…In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for creating a transcriptome assembly of the barley Hordeum vulgare isogenic line Bowman and two nearly isogenic lines contrasting in spike pigmentation, based on the results of sequencing on the IonTorrent platform. This approach implements several de novo assemblers: Trinity, Trans-ABySS and rnaSPAdes. …”

Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Plugging for Enhanced Oil Recovery by Chenpeng Song, Derek Elsworth

“…Sporosarcina pasteurii (ATCC 11859) is a nitrogen-circulating bacterium capable of precipitating calcium carbonate given a calcium ion source and urea. This microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is able to infill the pore spaces of the porous medium and thus can act as a potential microbial plugging agent for enhancing sweep efficiency. …”
