 The Scientist : The Big Picture in Microbial Genomics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Jill Banfield, professor of earth and planetary science at the University of California, Berkeley, and J. Craig Venter, head of the eponymous Institute, independently published in early 2004 two studies employing metagenomics to survey and reconstruct genomes from two very different microbial ecosystems.
Banfield's team succeeded in cultivating that organism - the first member of its genera to be cultured - by using growth media free of any nitrogen sources.
Banfield's team has moved beyond metagenomics into "community proteomics," surveying the protein complement of their biofilm samples and identifying 2,033 proteins, including a low-abundance cytochrome that appears to be responsible for the dominant organism in the community's ability to oxidize iron.
