Activated Sludge Microbial Community Assembly: The Role of Influent Microbial Community Immigration

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023
Abstract Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are host to diverse microbial communities and receive a constant influx of microbes from influent wastewater, however the impact of immigrants on the structure and activities of the activated sludge (AS) microbial community remains unclear.

Comparative analysis of pyrosequencing and a phylogenetic microarray for exploring microbial community structures in the human distal intestine [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Variations in the composition of the human intestinal microbiota are linked to diverse health conditions. High-throughput molecular technologies have recently elucidated microbial community structure at much higher resolution than was ...

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

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.

Impact of inoculum type on the microbial community and power performance of urine-fed microbial fuel cells

, 2020
Bacteria are the driving force of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which benefits from their natural ability to degrade organic matter and generate electricity. The development of an efficient anodic biofilm has a significant impact on the power

Breastfeeding increases microbial community resilience

Jornal de Pediatria (Versão em Português), 2018
Objective: Since the present group had already described the composition of the intestinal microbiota of Brazilian infants under low social economic level, the aim of the present study was to analyze the microbial community structure changes in this ...

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

Frontiers 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,
