Microbial xanthophylls

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005
Xanthophylls are oxygenated carotenoids abundant in the human food supply. Lutein, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin are major xanthophyll carotenoids in human plasma. The consumption of these xanthophylls is directly associated with reduction in the risk of cancers, cardiovascular disease, age-related macular degeneration, and cataract formation ...

Microbial energetics [PDF]

open access: possiblePhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1980
An understanding of the mechanisms by which bacteria derive their energy is clearly important for the prediction of growth yields. Bacteria can synthesize ATP by a variety of routes, by fermentation, by oxidative phosphorylation, and possibly by the excretion of metabolic end products. The bacterium Escherichia coli

Microbial Mats

2011
crobial mats are laminated microbial communities that generally develop in aqueous environments under conditions that exclude fauna. The biogeochemical cycles in microbial mats are usually largely closed, although small fluxes of elements are exchanged with the geo-, bio-, and atmosphere.

Microbial systematics and taxonomy: relevance for a microbial commons

Research in Microbiology, 2010
The issues of microbial taxonomy and potential interactions with a microbial commons are discussed, with emphasis on three components: characterization; classification; and nomenclature. The current state of technology and the spectrum of methods that are used for phenotypic and genotypic characterization of prokaryotes, classification at different ...

A Microbial Mystery

Scientific American, 2013
The article discusses a lack of knowledge among scientists on how antibiotics work. Topics include a study by biomedical engineer James Collins at Boston University that suggests antibiotics increase bacterial levels of reactive oxygen species, fatally corroding the bacteria's DNA and studies by genome scientist Colin Manoil at the University of ...
