Microbial Colonization of Minerals in Marine Sediments – Method Development and Ecological Significance [PDF]

, 2011
Interactions between microorganisms and minerals significantly impact microbial diversity and geochemical cycles in diverse settings. However, methodological difficulty has inhibited past study of microbe–mineral interactions in fine-grained subsurface ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

The predicted secreted proteome of activated sludge microorganisms indicates distinct nutrient niches

mSystems
In wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), complex microbial communities process diverse chemical compounds from sewage. Secreted proteins are critical because many are the first to interact with or degrade external (macro)molecules.

Enhanced Methanization of Long-Chain Fatty Acid Wastewater at 20°C in the Novel Dynamic Sludge Chamber–Fixed Film Bioreactor

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2020
Lipid-containing wastewaters, such as those arising from dairy processing, are frequently discharged at temperatures ≤ 20°C. Their valorization at low ambient temperatures offers opportunities to expand the application of high-rate anaerobic wastewater ...

Application of ecosystem-specific reference databases for increased taxonomic resolution in soil microbial profiling

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Intensive agriculture systems have paved the way for a growing human population. However, the abundant use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides may negatively impact nutrient cycles and biodiversity.

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.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Application of antibiotics for the selective isolation of previously uncultured species from activated sludge

Microbiology Spectrum
The microbial communities in activated sludge (AS) drive pollutant degradation and nutrient transformation into biomass and gaseous products, while also enabling resource recovery processes.

Comparing culture and molecular methods for the identification of microorganisms involved in necrotizing soft tissue infections

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are a group of infections affecting all soft tissues. NSTI involves necrosis of the afflicted tissue and is potentially life threatening due to major and rapid destruction of tissue, which often leads
