Microecological insight into the microbial structure, key cellulolytic community, and microbial interaction during cellulose degradation in high-diversity and low-diversity communities

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Inadequate management of lignocellulosic waste poses a risk of substantial environmental pollution. Enriched microbial communities selected from environmental samples can effectively contribute to lignocellulose degradation.

Microbes as engines of ecosystem function: when does community structure enhance predictions of ecosystem processes?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Microorganisms are vital in mediating the earth’s biogeochemical cycles; yet, despite our rapidly increasing ability to explore complex environmental microbial communities, the relationship between microbial community structure and ecosystem processes ...

A coexisting fungal-bacterial community stabilizes soil decomposition activity in a microcosm experiment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
How diversity influences the stability of a community function is a major question in ecology. However, only limited empirical investigations of the diversity-stability relationship in soil microbial communities have been undertaken, despite the ...

Resolving environmental drivers of microbial community structure in Antarctic soils

, 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 ...

BioEISense: A Microfluidic Platform for Real‐Time Monitoring of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation and the Efficacy of Antibiofilm Agents

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
BioEISense is a microfluidic device with integrated impedance sensors, for real‐time, label‐free monitoring of S. aureus biofilms. In this study, the biofilm culture conditions were optimized to support sensitive and reproducible detection of biofilm formation and eradication under dynamic flow‐through conditions. The system was also validated for both

Synthetic Microbial Communities Enhance Pepper Growth and Root Morphology by Regulating Rhizosphere Microbial Communities

Microorganisms
Synthetic microbial community (SynCom) application is efficient in promoting crop yield and soil health. However, few studies have been conducted to enhance pepper growth via modulating rhizosphere microbial communities by SynCom application.

Extensive microbial and functional diversity within the chicken cecal microbiome [PDF]

, 2014
Chickens are major source of food and protein worldwide. Feed conversion and the health of chickens relies on the largely unexplored complex microbial community that inhabits the chicken gut, including the ceca.

Additive‐Manufactured, Multifunctional Bioreactor Technology for Dynamic Culture of 3D Bioprinted Tissue Models

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Priority effects largely determine the consequences of soil microbial community coalescence

Geoderma
Priority effects play critical roles in microbial community assembly but remain underexplored in soil systems. Here, we investigated their influence on soil microbial community coalescence via microcosm experiments based on soils collected from six sites
