The Community Simulator: A Python package for microbial ecology [PDF]

, 2019
Natural microbial communities contain hundreds to thousands of interacting species. For this reason, computational simulations are playing an increasingly important role in microbial ecology. In this manuscript, we present a new open-source, freely available Python package called Community Simulator for simulating microbial population dynamics in a ...

Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
This paper is a call to action. By publishing concurrently across journals like an emergency bulletin, we are not merely making a plea for awareness about climate change.

Disentangling the genetic basis of rhizosphere microbiome assembly in tomato

Nature Communications, 2022
Genetics factors involved in rhizosphere microbiomes assembly remain largely elusive. Here, the authors integrate microbiomics and quantitative plant genetics to reveal genetic loci associated with specific microbes and rhizobacterial traits underlying ...

Metabolic flexibility as a major predictor of spatial distribution in microbial communities [PDF]

, 2014
A better understand the ecology of microbes and their role in the global ecosystem could be achieved if traditional ecological theories can be applied to microbes. In ecology organisms are defined as specialists or generalists according to the breadth of

DiSCount: computer vision for automated quantification of Striga seed germination

Plant Methods, 2020
Background Plant parasitic weeds belonging to the genus Striga are a major threat for food production in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The parasite’s life cycle starts with the induction of seed germination by host plant-derived signals ...

Impact of root-associated strains of three Paraburkholderia species on primary and secondary metabolism of Brassica oleracea

Scientific Reports, 2021
Several root-colonizing bacterial species can simultaneously promote plant growth and induce systemic resistance. How these rhizobacteria modulate plant metabolism to accommodate the carbon and energy demand from these two competing processes is largely ...

Successive DNA extractions improve characterization of soil microbial communities [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Currently, characterization of soil microbial communities relies heavily on the use of molecular approaches. Independently of the approach used, soil DNA extraction is a crucial step, and success of downstream procedures will depend on how well DNA ...

Enzyme regulation and mutation in a model serial dilution ecosystem [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 104, 044412 (2021), 2021
Microbial communities are ubiquitous in nature and come in a multitude of forms, ranging from communities dominated by a handful of species to communities containing a wide variety of metabolically distinct organisms. This huge range in diversity is not a curiosity - microbial diversity has been linked to outcomes of substantial ecological and medical ...
