• Archaea in past and present geobiochemical processes and elemental cycles. 

      Hoppert, Michael; Krüger, Martin; Reitner, JoachimORCIDiD; Cockell, Charles (Archaea (Vancouver, B.C.), 2013)
      For a long time, Archaea have been considered as an ancient prokaryotic group comprising specialists restricted to narrow ecological niches. This opinion might have been supported by the characteristics of the first ...
    • Ascomycete fungi on dimension stone of the “Burg Gleichen”, Thuringia 

      Hallmann, Christine; Fritzlar, Diana; Stannek, Lorena; Hoppert, Michael (Environmental Earth Sciences, 2011)
      In the present study, the diversity of ascomycete fungi was investigated on two wall areas of the “Burg Gleichen”, Thuringia (Germany), made of various types of sandstones, travertine and Grenzdolomit. From a W-exposed, ...
    • Deposition of biogenic iron minerals in a methane oxidizing microbial mat. 

      Wrede, Christoph; Kokoschka, Sebastian; Dreier, Anne; Heller, Christina; Reitner, JoachimORCIDiD; Hoppert, Michael (Archaea (Vancouver, B.C.), 2013)
      The syntrophic community between anaerobic methanotrophic archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria forms thick, black layers within multi-layered microbial mats in chimney-like carbonate concretions of methane seeps located ...
    • Localization of Methyl-Coenzyme M reductase as metabolic marker for diverse methanogenic Archaea. 

      Wrede, Christoph; Walbaum, Ulrike; Ducki, Andrea; Heieren, Iris; Hoppert, Michael (Archaea (Vancouver, B.C.), 2013)
      Methyl-Coenzyme M reductase (MCR) as key enzyme for methanogenesis as well as for anaerobic oxidation of methane represents an important metabolic marker for both processes in microbial biofilms. Here, the potential of ...
    • Microbial diversity on a marble monument: a case study 

      Hallmann, Christine; Rüdrich, Jörg; Enseleit, Matthias; Friedl, Thomas; Hoppert, Michael (Environmental Earth Sciences, 2010)
      In the presented case study, ascomycete fungi and green algae on a marble monument were identified by comparisons of the 18S rRNA gene sequences, which were obtained from DNA either from environmental samples or from ...
