Integrating Ecological and Engineering Concepts of Resilience in Microbial Communities [PDF]

, 2015
Many definitions of resilience have been proffered for natural and engineered ecosystems, but a conceptual consensus on resilience in microbial communities is still lacking. We argue that the disconnect largely results from the wide variance in microbial

The Signal and the Noise: Characteristics of Antisense RNA in Complex Microbial Communities

mSystems, 2020
High-throughput sequencing has allowed unprecedented insight into the composition and function of complex microbial communities. With metatranscriptomics, it is possible to interrogate the transcriptomes of multiple organisms simultaneously to get an ...

Connecting structure to function with the recovery of over 1000 high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes from activated sludge using long-read sequencing

Nature Communications, 2021
Microbes play key roles in wastewater treatment. Here, Singleton et al. use long-read and short-read sequencing to recover 1083 high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes from 23 wastewater treatment plants, and combine this information with amplicon data,

Synthetic microbial communities [PDF]

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2014
While natural microbial communities are composed of a mix of microbes with often unknown functions, the construction of synthetic microbial communities allows for the generation of defined systems with reduced complexity. Used in a top-down approach, synthetic communities serve as model systems to ask questions about the performance and stability of ...

MiDAS 4: A global catalogue of full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences and taxonomy for studies of bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants

Nature Communications, 2022
Microbial communities are responsible for biological wastewater treatment. Here, Dueholm et al. generate more than 5 million high-quality, full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences from wastewater treatment plants across the world to construct a database with ...

A comprehensive overview of the Chloroflexota community in wastewater treatment plants worldwide

mSystems, 2023
Filamentous Chloroflexota are abundant in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) worldwide and are occasionally associated with poor solid-liquid separation or foaming, but most of the abundant lineages remain undescribed.

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

Influence of biofilm growth age, media, antibiotic concentration and exposure time on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm removal in vitro

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Biofilm is known to be tolerant towards antibiotics and difficult to eradicate. Numerous studies have reported minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) values of antibiotics for many known biofilm pathogens.

Reevaluation of the Phylogenetic Diversity and Global Distribution of the Genus “Candidatus Accumulibacter”

mSystems, 2022
“Candidatus Accumulibacter” was the first microorganism identified as a polyphosphate-accumulating organism (PAO) important for phosphorus removal from wastewater.

Microbial Communication Superhighways [PDF]

Cell, 2011
Exchange of information is critical for bacterial social behaviors. Now Dubey and Ben-Yehuda (2011) provide evidence for bacterial "nanotube" conduits that allow microbes to directly exchange cytoplasmic factors. Protein and DNA transfer between distantly related species raises the prospect of a new, widely distributed mechanism of bacterial ...
