Electricity-assisted production of caproic acid from grass

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Background Medium chain carboxylic acids, such as caproic acid, are conventionally produced from food materials. Caproic acid can be produced through fermentation by the reverse β-oxidation of lactic acid, generated from low value lignocellulosic biomass.

Impact of soil management on the functional activity of microbial communities associated to cork oak rhizosphere [PDF]

, 2007
The microbial ecology of cork oak rhizosphere was investigated using the Biolog community level physiological profile (CLPP) that provides a unique metabolic fingerprint helpful for the characterization of complex microbial communities.

Growth tradeoffs produce complex microbial communities on a single limiting resource [PDF]

, 2018
The relationship between the dynamics of a community and its constituent pairwise interactions is a fundamental problem in ecology. Higher-order ecological effects beyond pairwise interactions may be key to complex ecosystems, but mechanisms to produce these effects remain poorly understood.

Electrophotographic Powder Application for Surface Functionalization of Polymer Parts with Thin Silver‐Nanoadditivated Bactericidal Layers

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Polyamide 12 powder nanoadditivated with laser‐synthesized silver nanoparticles is deposited and sintered on polymer parts via EPA‐PBF‐LB/P. The thin surface coating (140 µm) inhibits E. coli and S. aureus bacteria growth and significantly increases the UV light absorption, whereas the mechanical and thermal properties remain unchanged due to minimal ...

Predicting taxonomic and functional structure of microbial communities in acid mine drainage. [PDF]

, 2016
Predicting the dynamics of community composition and functional attributes responding to environmental changes is an essential goal in community ecology but remains a major challenge, particularly in microbial ecology.

Deep Learning Combined with Quantitative Structure‒Activity Relationship Accelerates De Novo Design of Antifungal Peptides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drug resistance remains a serious threat to human health and the planet's ecology. Using deep learning integrated with quantitative structure‒activity relationship, 49 highly active antifungal peptides are de novo designed. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate these peptides' potential to minimize the risk of resistance development in pathogens ...

Production of biostable drinking water using a lab-scale biological trickling filter enriched with hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria

npj Clean Water
Safeguarding the drinking water quality remains a challenge from the production site to the tap. Alternatively to chemical disinfection, biostable drinking water could serve as a more sustainable approach to produce microbially safe drinking water and to

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

Identifying Keystone Species in the Human Gut Microbiome from Metagenomic Timeseries using Sparse Linear Regression [PDF]

, 2014
Human associated microbial communities exert tremendous influence over human health and disease. With modern metagenomic sequencing methods it is possible to follow the relative abundance of microbes in a community over time. These microbial communities exhibit rich ecological dynamics and an important goal of microbial ecology is to infer the ...
