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

BMC Systems Biology 2014, 8(Suppl 4):S7, 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 in understanding its role in human disease and health.

Representation of Dormant and Active Microbial Dynamics for Ecosystem Modeling [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2014, 9(2): e89252, 2013
Dormancy is an essential strategy for microorganisms to cope with environmental stress. However, global ecosystem models typically ignore microbial dormancy, resulting in major model uncertainties. To facilitate the consideration of dormancy in these large-scale models, we propose a new microbial physiology component that works for a wide range of ...

Prominent effect of soil network heterogeneity on microbial invasion [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 098102 (2012), 2012
Using a network representation for real soil samples and mathematical models for microbial spread, we show that the structural heterogeneity of the soil habitat may have a very significant influence on the size of microbial invasions of the soil pore space.

Microbial Scout Hypothesis and Microbial Discovery [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the temporal pattern of colony appearance during cultivation experiments, and whether this pattern could inform on optimizing the process of microbial discovery. In a series of long-term cultivation experiments, we observed an expected gradual increase over time of the total number of microbial isolates ...

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.

Compared to conventional, ecological intensive management promotes beneficial proteolytic soil microbial communities for agro-ecosystem functioning under climate change-induced rain regimes [PDF]

, 2020
Projected climate change and rainfall variability will affect soil microbial communities, biogeochemical cycling and agriculture. Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient in agroecosystems and its cycling and availability is highly dependent on ...

Microbial electrochemistry for bioremediation [PDF]

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, 2020
Lack of suitable electron donors or acceptors is in many cases the key reason for pollutants to persist in the environment. Externally supplementation of electron donors or acceptors is often difficult to control and/or involves chemical additions with limited lifespan, residue formation or other adverse side effects.

Dehalogenases: From Improved Performance to Potential Microbial Dehalogenation Applications

Molecules, 2018
The variety of halogenated substances and their derivatives widely used as pesticides, herbicides and other industrial products is of great concern due to the hazardous nature of these compounds owing to their toxicity, and persistent environmental ...
