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.

Growth and Break-Up of Methanogenic Granules Suggests Mechanisms for Biofilm and Community Development

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Methanogenic sludge granules are densely packed, small, spherical biofilms found in anaerobic digesters used to treat industrial wastewaters, where they underpin efficient organic waste conversion and biogas production.

Activated Sludge Microbial Community Assembly: The Role of Influent Microbial Community Immigration

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023
Abstract Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are host to diverse microbial communities and receive a constant influx of microbes from influent wastewater, however the impact of immigrants on the structure and activities of the activated sludge (AS) microbial community remains unclear.

On the complexity of haplotyping a microbial community [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2020
Abstract Motivation Population-level genetic variation enables competitiveness and niche specialization in microbial communities. Despite the difficulty in culturing many microbes from an environment, we can still study these communities by isolating and sequencing DNA directly from an ...

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

Genomic and in Situ Analyses Reveal the Micropruina spp. as Abundant Fermentative Glycogen Accumulating Organisms in Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal Systems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) involves the cycling of biomass through carbon-rich (feast) and carbon-deficient (famine) conditions, promoting the activity of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs).

Diverse hypolithic refuge communities in the McMurdo Dry Valleys [PDF]

, 2010
Hyper-arid deserts present extreme challenges to life. The environmental buffering provided by quartz and other translucent rocks allows hypolithic microbial communities to develop on sub-soil surfaces of such rocks.

Direct Identification of Functional Amyloid Proteins by Label-Free Quantitative Mass Spectrometry

Biomolecules, 2017
Functional amyloids are important structural and functional components of many biofilms, yet our knowledge of these fascinating polymers is limited to a few examples for which the native amyloids have been isolated in pure form.
