Nitrogen Fixation Aligns with nifH Abundance and Expression in Two Coral Trophic Functional Groups
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Microbial nitrogen fixation (diazotrophy) is a functional trait widely associated with tropical reef-building (scleractinian) corals. While the integral role of nitrogen fixation in coral nutrient dynamics is recognized, its ecological significance ...

Natural Polyhydroxyalkanoates—An Overview of Bacterial Production Methods
MoleculesPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular biopolymers that microorganisms use for energy and carbon storage. They are mechanically similar to petrochemical plastics when chemically extracted, but are completely biodegradable.

The Genomic Impact of Mycoheterotrophy in Orchids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Mycoheterotrophic plants have lost the ability to photosynthesize and obtain essential mineral and organic nutrients from associated soil fungi. Despite involving radical changes in life history traits and ecological requirements, the transition from ...

Physiology, phylogeny, and LUCA
Microbial Cell, 2016 Genomes record their own history. But if we want to look all the way back to life’s beginnings some 4 billion years ago, the record of microbial evolution that is preserved in prokaryotic genomes is not easy to read. Microbiology has a lot in common with

Using Stable Isotope Analyses to Assess the Trophic Ecology of Scleractinian Corals
Oceans, 2022 Studies on the trophic ecology of scleractinian corals often include stable isotope analyses of tissue and symbiont carbon and nitrogen. These approaches have provided critical insights into the trophic sources and sinks that are essential to ...
