Synthetic microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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 ...

Subpopulations and stability in microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
In microbial communities, each species often has multiple, distinct phenotypes, but studies of ecological stability have largely ignored this subpopulation structure. Here, we show that such implicit averaging over phenotypes leads to incorrect linear stability results. We then analyze the effect of phenotypic switching in detail in an asymptotic limit

On the complexity of haplotyping a microbial community [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 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 environment ...

Breakthrough Solution for Antimicrobial Resistance Detection: Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy‐based on Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView., 2023
This review discusses the use of Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) for detecting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Various SERS studies used with AI techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, are analyzed for their advantages and limitations.

Microbial Communication Superhighways [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 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 ...

Microbial Interactions within a Cheese Microbial Community [PDF]

open access: yesApplied 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

Chaos in synthetic microbial communities

open access: yesPLOS 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.

Interpretations of Environmental Microbial Community Studies Are Biased by the Selected 16S rRNA (Gene) Amplicon Sequencing Pipeline

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
One of the major methods to identify microbial community composition, to unravel microbial population dynamics, and to explore microbial diversity in environmental samples is high-throughput DNA- or RNA-based 16S rRNA (gene) amplicon sequencing in ...

Abundant and Rare Microbial Communities Respectively Contribute to an Aquaculture Pond Ecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Unraveling the assembly mechanism is a core research topic of microbial ecology. Abundant and rare microbial communities are crucial for diversity, function and host health in a given ecosystem, but few studies focused on their assembly strategies. Here,
