Comparative Metagenomics of Microbial Communities [PDF]

Science, 2005
The species complexity of microbial communities and challenges in culturing representative isolates make it difficult to obtain assembled genomes. Here we characterize and compare the metabolic capabilities of terrestrial and marine microbial communities using largely unassembled sequence data obtained by shotgun sequencing DNA isolated from the ...

Fundamentals of microbial community resistance and resilience

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Microbial communities are at the heart of all ecosystems, and yet microbial community behavior in disturbed environments remains difficult to measure and predict.

Succession of soil microbial community in a developing mid-channel bar: The role of environmental disturbance and plant community

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Succession of microbial and plant communities is crucial for the development and the stability of soil ecological functions. The relative role of plant communities and environmental disturbance in shaping the microbial community in a newly established ...

Directed Evolution of Microbial Communities

Annual Review of Biophysics, 2020
Directed evolution is a form of artificial selection that has been used for decades to find biomolecules and organisms with new or enhanced functional traits. Directed evolution can be conceptualized as a guided exploration of the genotype–phenotype map, where genetic variants with desirable phenotypes are first selected and then mutagenized to search ...

Deciphering Succession and Assembly Patterns of Microbial Communities in a Two-Stage Solid-State Fermentation System

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Although the importance of microbiota in the natural environment and in industrial production has been widely recognized, little is known about the formation and succession patterns of the microbial community, particularly secondary succession after ...

Microbial communities in the phyllosphere and endosphere of Norway spruce under attack by Heterobasidion

Frontiers in Microbiology
Heterobasidion annosum species complex has been regarded as the most destructive disease agent of conifer trees in boreal forests. Tree microbiome can regulate the plant–pathogen interactions by influencing both host resistance and pathogen virulence ...

Impact of a natural disturbance on the performance and microbial communities in a full-scale constructed wetland for industrial wastewater treatment

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Constructed Wetlands (CWs) are a cost-effective, versatile and sustainable choice for wastewater treatment. In these environments, microbial communities play a significant role in pollutant removal.

RNA-TGGE, a Tool for Assessing the Potential for Bioremediation in Impacted Marine Ecosystems

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
Cultivation-independent genomic approaches have greatly advanced our understanding of the ecology and diversity of microbial communities involved in biodegradation processes. However, much still needs to be resolved in terms of the structure, composition
