Microbial volatile fingerprints: potential use for soil/water diagnostics and correlation with traditional microbial parameters [PDF]
, 2007 This project used an electronic nose (E-nose) system composed of an array of 14 nonspecific conducting polymer sensors for soil and water diagnostics, based on qualitative microbial volatile production patterns. It tested the feasibility of using soil

Is the thermodynamic efficiency of soil microbial communities related to ecosystem maturity and stress? [PDF]
, 2014 According to the second law of thermodynamics, no process can be 100% efficient and all processes must increase the total entropy of the system they occupy.

Impact of inoculum type on the microbial community and power performance of urine-fed microbial fuel cells [PDF]
, 2020 Bacteria are the driving force of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which benefits from their natural ability to degrade organic matter and generate electricity. The development of an efficient anodic biofilm has a significant impact on the power

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 ...

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 The environmental niche concept describes the distribution of a taxon in the environment and can be used to understand community dynamics, biological invasions, and the impact of environmental changes. The uses and applications are still restricted in microbial ecology, largely due to the complexity of microbial systems and associated methodological ...

ER-Phagy and Microbial Infection
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an essential organelle in cells that synthesizes, folds and modifies membrane and secretory proteins. It has a crucial role in cell survival and growth, thus requiring strict control of its quality and homeostasis ...

Microbial Interactions within a Cheese Microbial Community [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT The interactions that occur during the ripening of smear cheeses are not well understood. Yeast-yeast interactions and yeast-bacterium interactions were investigated within a microbial community composed of three yeasts and six bacteria found in cheese. The growth dynamics of this community was precisely described during
