Microbial Isolation [PDF]

, 2020
The importance of isolating a microbe from the environment, such as food (solid substrate), drinks (liquid substrate), and yourself because of the many microbes that are difficult to observe or distinguish directly using the five senses.

A Quantitative Sequencing Framework for Absolute Abundance Measurements of Mucosal and Lumenal Microbial Communities [PDF]

, 2020
A fundamental goal in microbiome studies is determining which microbes affect host physiology. Standard methods for determining changes in microbial taxa measure relative, rather than absolute abundances.

A communal catalogue reveals Earth’s multiscale microbial diversity

Nature, 2017
The spontaneous deamination of cytosine is a major source of transitions from C•G to T•A base pairs, which account for half of known pathogenic point mutations in humans.

Microbial differences between dental plaque and historic dental calculus are related to oral biofilm maturation stage [PDF]

, 2019
Dental calculus, calcified oral plaque biofilm, contains microbial and host biomolecules that can be used to study historic microbiome communities and host responses.

A new model for the formation of microbial polygons in a coastal sabkha setting [PDF]

, 2017
The stratigraphic record of microbially induced sedimentary structures spans most of the depositional record. Today, microbes continue to generate, bind and modify sediments in a vast range of depositional environments.

A human gut microbial gene catalogue established by metagenomic sequencing

Nature, 2010
To understand the impact of gut microbes on human health and well-being it is crucial to assess their genetic potential. Here we describe the Illumina-based metagenomic sequencing, assembly and characterization of 3.3 million non-redundant microbial ...

Predictive functional profiling of microbial communities using 16S rRNA marker gene sequences

Nature Biotechnology, 2013
Profiling phylogenetic marker genes, such as the 16S rRNA gene, is a key tool for studies of microbial communities but does not provide direct evidence of a community's functional capabilities.

Integrating taxonomic, functional, and strain-level profiling of diverse microbial communities with bioBakery 3

bioRxiv, 2020
Culture-independent analyses of microbial communities have advanced dramatically in the last decade, particularly due to advances in methods for biological profiling via shotgun metagenomics.

Microbial community pattern detection in human body habitats via ensemble clustering framework [PDF]

, 2014
The human habitat is a host where microbial species evolve, function, and continue to evolve. Elucidating how microbial communities respond to human habitats is a fundamental and critical task, as establishing baselines of human microbiome is essential ...
