Deep-Sea Archaea Fix and Share Nitrogen in Methane-Consuming Microbial Consortia [PDF]
, 2009 Nitrogen-fixing (diazotrophic) microorganisms regulate productivity in diverse ecosystems; however, the identities of diazotrophs are unknown in many oceanic environments. Using single-cell–resolution nanometer secondary ion mass spectrometry images of ^(

mSystems, 2019 In nature, microbes interact antagonistically, neutrally, or beneficially. To shed light on the effects of positive interactions in microbial consortia, we introduced metabolic dependencies and metabolite overproduction into four bacterial species. While

Design, analysis and application of synthetic microbial consortia
Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2016 The rapid development of synthetic biology has conferred almost perfect modification on single cells, and provided methodological support for synthesizing microbial consortia, which have a much wider application potential than synthetic single cells.

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]
, 2012 The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and

Biology, 2022 Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a serious threat to Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) production, which results in extensive yield losses. At present, clubroot control mainly depends upon pesticides, which provoke

Integrating Ecological and Engineering Concepts of Resilience in Microbial Communities [PDF]
, 2015 Many definitions of resilience have been proffered for natural and engineered ecosystems, but a conceptual consensus on resilience in microbial communities is still lacking. We argue that the disconnect largely results from the wide variance in microbial

Engineering microbial consortia by division of labor [PDF]
Microbial Cell Factories, 2019 During microbial applications, metabolic burdens can lead to a significant drop in cell performance. Novel synthetic biology tools or multi-step bioprocessing (e.g., fermentation followed by chemical conversions) are therefore needed to avoid compromised biochemical productivity from over-burdened cells.
