Plant influences on soil microbial carbon pump efficiency

Global Change Biology, 2023
AbstractMicrobe‐mediated carbon transformation plays an important role in soil carbon sequestration, which is considered to be one of the key strategies to achieve carbon neutrality in the long term. Assessing the efficiency of microbial necromass accumulation relative to plant carbon input or microbial respiration will help to identify ways to promote

Microbial physiological engineering increases the efficiency of microbial cell factories

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2021
Microbial cell factories provide vital platforms for the production of chemicals. Advanced biotechnological toolboxes have been developed to enhance their efficiency. However, these tools have limitations in improving physiological functions, and therefore boosting the efficiency (e.g.

High-throughput screening for efficient microbial biotechnology

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2020
Microbial systems have been widely studied and exploited through genetic engineering to address industrial needs and societal challenges. However, owing to their complexity, singular approaches often do not yield desired or optimal results, pushing researchers to explore combinatorial strategies.

Metabolic and Translational Efficiency in Microbial Organisms

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2012
Metabolic efficiency, as a selective force shaping proteomes, has been shown to exist in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis and in a small number of organisms with photoautotrophic and thermophilic lifestyles. Earlier attempts at larger-scale analyses have utilized proxies (such as molecular weight) for biosynthetic cost, and did not consider ...

Microbial enhancement of crop resource use efficiency

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2012
Naturally occurring soil microbes may be used as inoculants to maintain crop yields despite decreased resource (water and nutrient) inputs. Plant symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi alter root aquaporin gene expression and greatly increase the surface area over which plant root systems take up water and nutrients.

Light utilization efficiency in photosynthetic microbial mats

Environmental Microbiology, 2011
Summary Based on combined microsensor measurements of irradiance, temperature and O 2 , we compared light energy budgets in photosynthetic microbial mats, with a special focus on the efficiency of light energy conservation by photosynthesis.
