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.

Phylogenetic analysis of microbial communities in different regions of the gastrointestinal tract in Panaque nigrolineatus, a wood-eating fish [PDF]

, 2012
The Neotropical detritivorous catfish Panaque nigrolineatus imbibes large quantities of wood as part of its diet. Due to the interest in cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin degradation pathways, this organism provides an interesting model system for the

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 ...

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.

Resolving environmental drivers of microbial community structure in Antarctic soils [PDF]

, 2009
Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species richness and distribution is ...

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 ...

Microbial Communities as Experimental Units [PDF]

BioScience, 2011
Artificial ecosystem selection is an experimental technique that treats microbial communities as though they were discrete units by applying selection on community-level properties. Highly diverse microbial communities associated with humans and other organisms can have significant impacts on the health of the host. It is difficult to find correlations

Garden compost inoculum leads to microbial bioanodes with potential-independent characteristics [PDF]

, 2013
Garden compost leachate was used to form microbial bioanodes under polarization at 0.4, 0.2 and +0.1 V/SCE. Current densities were 6.3 and 8.9 A m2 on average at 0.4 and +0.1 V/SCE respectively, with acetate 10 mM.

The impact of Zero-valent Iron Nanoparticles upon Soil Microbial Communities is Context Dependent [PDF]

, 2013
Purpose Nanosized zero valent iron (nZVI) is an effective land remediation tool, but there remains little information regarding its impact upon and interactions with the soil microbial community.
