Engineered bidirectional communication mediates a consensus in a microbial biofilm consortium [PDF]

, 2007
Microbial consortia form when multiple species colocalize and communally generate a function that none is capable of alone. Consortia abound in nature, and their cooperative metabolic activities influence everything from biodiversity in the global food ...

Sugarcane cellulose utilization by a defined microbial consortium [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
Microorganisms isolated from diverse environmental sources were initially screened for carboxymethylcellulase activity. Nine strains that grew at elevated temperatures and which presented the highest activity were characterized further. Culture supernatants were assayed for potentiation of the enzymatic activity and, based on these results, consortia ...

Self-Organization, Layered Structure, and Aggregation Enhance Persistence of a Synthetic Biofilm Consortium [PDF]

, 2010
Microbial consortia constitute a majority of the earth’s biomass, but little is known about how these cooperating communities persist despite competition among community members.

Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]

, 2016
Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

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

Microbial stress mediated intercellular nanotubes in an anaerobic microbial consortium digesting cellulose [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThe anaerobic digestion process is a multi - step reaction dependent on concerted activities such as exchange of metabolites among physiologically different microbial communities. This study investigated the impact of iron oxide nanoparticles on the anaerobic sludge microbiota.
