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.

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).

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.

Interchange of entire communities: microbial community coalescence [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015
Microbial communities are enigmatically diverse. We propose a novel view of processes likely affecting microbial assemblages, which could be viewed as the Great American Interchange en miniature: the wholesale exchange among microbial communities resulting from moving pieces of the environment containing entire assemblages. Incidental evidence for such

Chaos in synthetic microbial communities

PLOS Computational Biology, 2022
Predictability is a fundamental requirement in biological engineering. As we move to building coordinated multicellular systems, the potential for such systems to display chaotic behaviour becomes a concern. Therefore understanding which systems show chaos is an important design consideration.

Interrelating EPS, soluble microbial products and metal solubility in a methanogenic consortium stressed by nickel and cobalt

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
The relationships between extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), soluble microbial product production, metal solubility, and methanogenic activity were investigated.

The impact of Zero-valent Iron Nanoparticles upon Soil Microbial Communities is Context Dependent [PDF]

, 2013
Purpose Nanosized zero valent iron (nZVI) is an effective land remediation tool, but there remains little information regarding its impact upon and interactions with the soil microbial community.

Microbial Communities as Experimental Units [PDF]

BioScience, 2011
Artificial ecosystem selection is an experimental technique that treats microbial communities as though they were discrete units by applying selection on community-level properties. Highly diverse microbial communities associated with humans and other organisms can have significant impacts on the health of the host. It is difficult to find correlations

Seeing the forest for the genes: using metagenomics to infer the aggregated traits of microbial communities

, 2014
Most environments harbor large numbers of microbial taxa with ecologies that remain poorly described and characterizing the functional capabilities of whole communities remains a key challenge in microbial ecology.
