Front-propagation in bacterial inter-colony communication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Many bacterial species exchange signaling molecules to coordinate population-wide responses. For this process known as quorum sensing the concentration of the respective molecules is crucial. Here we consider the interaction between spatially distributed bacterial colonies so that the spreading of the signaling molecules in space becomes important ...

Design of a millifluidic device for the evaluation of blue-light disinfection on Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 biofilm [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Significance: For the first time to our knowledge, a millifluidic device has been designed to observe the effects of blue-light irradiation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 bacterial biofilm. Approach: A bacterial biofilm is formed under controlled flow of nutrients in microfabricated channels settled on a microscope stage.

Bacterial Communities in Coral Offspring Vary Between in situ and ex situ Spawning Environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Examining the bacterial communities of offspring is key to understanding the establishment of coral-bacteria associations. Although high sensitivity to the environment is expected, previous studies have only examined bacterial communities of coral ...

Bacterial Communications and Computing in Internet of Everything (IoE) [PDF]

open access: yes
Concurrent with advancements in molecular communication (MC), bacterial communication is emerging as a key area of interest. Given the frequent use of bacteria in various MC models, it is essential to have a thorough grasp of their intrinsic communication, signaling, and engineering techniques.

Distributed Gradient Descent in Bacterial Food Search [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Communication and coordination play a major role in the ability of bacterial cells to adapt to ever changing environments and conditions. Recent work has shown that such coordination underlies several aspects of bacterial responses including their ability to develop antibiotic resistance.

Host species and environmental effects on bacterial communities associated with Drosophila in the laboratory and in the natural environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The fruit fly Drosophila is a classic model organism to study adaptation as well as the relationship between genetic variation and phenotypes. Although associated bacterial communities might be important for many aspects of Drosophila biology, knowledge about their diversity, composition, and factors shaping them is limited.

Proximate grassland and shrub-encroached sites show dramatic restructuring of soil bacterial communities [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Background Changes in aboveground community composition and diversity following shrub encroachment have been studied extensively. Recently, shrub encroachment was associated with differences in belowground bacterial communities relative to non-encroached

Long-term agrichemical use leads to alterations in bacterial community diversity

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2012
Bacterial communities are key drivers of soil fertility and agriculture productivity. Understanding how soil bacterial communities change in response to different conditions is an important aspect in the development of sustainable agriculture. There is a
