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 ...

Ultra-high-throughput microbial community analysis on the Illumina HiSeq and MiSeq platforms

The ISME Journal, 2012
DNA sequencing continues to decrease in cost with the Illumina HiSeq2000 generating up to 600 Gb of paired-end 100 base reads in a ten-day run. Here we present a protocol for community amplicon sequencing on the HiSeq2000 and MiSeq Illumina platforms ...

Recent Advances in Understanding the Composition and Functions of Microbial Community in the Fermentation of Baijiu Daqu [PDF]

Shipin Kexue, 2023
The fermentation process of traditional Baijiu Daqu involves extremely complex changes in microbial communities, and the microbial communities work collaboratively to determine the quality of Daqu.

Reconstructing microbial communities [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2011
Metagenomic studies have allowed an unprecedented view of the microbial communities that inhabit our world and our bodies. Deep sequencing data have already been generated from several environments, as well as from various human body sites. As more data are generated, we are beginning to understand the structure of our commensal microbial communities ...

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 ...

Soil microbial community responses to climate extremes: resistance, resilience and transitions to alternative states

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020
A major challenge for advancing our understanding of the functional role of soil microbial communities is to link changes in their structure and function under climate change.

Extreme Geochemical Conditions and Dispersal Limitation Retard Primary Succession of Microbial Communities in Gold Tailings

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Microbial community succession in tailings materials is poorly understood at present, and likely to be substantially different from similar processes in natural primary successional environments due to the unusual geochemical properties of tailings and ...

A coexistence theory in microbial communities [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Microbes are widespread in natural ecosystems where they create complex communities. Understanding the functions and dynamics of such microbial communities is a very important theme not only for ecology but also for humankind because microbes can play major roles in our health. Yet, it remains unclear how such complex ecosystems are maintained.

Microbial Community-Driven Etiopathogenesis of Peri-Implantitis

Journal of dentistry research, 2020
Osseointegrated dental implants are a revolutionary tool in the armament of reconstructive dentistry, employed to replace missing teeth and restore masticatory, occlusal, and esthetic functions.

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 ...
