Nitrogen input enhances microbial carbon use efficiency by altering plant–microbe–mineral interactions

Global Change Biology, 2022
Microbial growth and respiration are at the core of the soil carbon (C) cycle, as these microbial physiological performances ultimately determine the fate of soil C.

Large‐scale importance of microbial carbon use efficiency and necromass to soil organic carbon

Global Change Biology, 2021
Optimal methods for incorporating soil microbial mechanisms of carbon (C) cycling into Earth system models (ESMs) are still under debate. Specifically, whether soil microbial physiology parameters and residual materials are important to soil organic C ...

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 ...

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.

Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency and Growth Rates in Soil: Global Patterns and Drivers

Global Change Biology
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) of microbial communities in soil quantifies the proportion of organic carbon (C) taken up by microorganisms that is allocated to growing microbial biomass as well as used for reparation of cell components.

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.

Beyond microbial carbon use efficiency

2023
Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is defined as the proportion of microbial biomass growth C versus substrate C uptake, and thus provides a useful measure of microbially driven accumulation and loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) 1. In a recent study published in Nature 2, the authors use a data-driven machine learning approach to conclude that CUE ...

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.

Good microbial affinity of phenolic carbon felt as an efficient anode for microbial fuel cells

Bioelectrochemistry, 2021
Phenolic carbon felt (PCF) is a three-dimensional material with a simple manufacturing process and low cost. To investigate the application of PCF as an anode material for use in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), we employed PCF as the anode material for the first time in MFCs that were carbonized at different temperatures.
