npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023 Biofilm formation is a common adaptation for microbes in energy-limited conditions such as those prevalent in the vast deep terrestrial biosphere. However, due to the low biomass and the inaccessible nature of subsurface groundwaters, the microbial ...

Seasonal Dynamics in Carbon Cycling of Marine Bacterioplankton Are Lifestyle Dependent
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Although free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) bacteria are recognized as ecologically distinct compartments of marine microbial food-webs, few, if any, studies have determined their dynamics in abundance, function (production, respiration and ...

Freeze-drying can replace cold-chains for transport and storage of fecal microbiome samples [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background The transport and storage of samples in temperatures of minus 80 °C is commonly considered as the gold standard for microbiome studies. However, studies conducting sample collection at remote sites without a reliable cold-chain would benefit ...

EVOLUTION OF MICROBIAL PATHOGENS
The Activities of Bacterial Pathogens In Vivo, 2000 Various genetic mechanisms including point mutations, genetic rearrangements and lateral gene transfer processes contribute to the evolution of microbes. Long-term processes leading to the development of new species or subspecies are termed macroevolution, and short–term developments, which occur during days or weeks, are considered as ...

Evolution of microbial markets [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Biological market theory has been used successfully to explain cooperative behavior in many animal species. Microbes also engage in cooperative behaviors, both with hosts and other microbes, that can be described in economic terms. However, a market approach is not traditionally used to analyze these interactions.

Genomic data resource of type strains of genus Pseudoxanthomonas
Data in Brief, 2022 Genus Pseudoxanthomonas represents a relatively newly characterized group of gamma-proteobacterium of environmental origin. Species of the genus have very similar morphology to strains belonging to Xanthomonas, Xylella and Stenotrophomonas.

The Ecology and Evolution of Microbial Competition [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2016 Microbes are typically surrounded by different strains and species with whom they compete for scarce nutrients and limited space. Given such challenging living conditions, microbes have evolved many phenotypes with which they can outcompete and displace their neighbours: secretions to harvest resources, loss of costly genes whose products can be ...

Microbial warfare and the evolution of symbiosis
Biology Letters, 2022 Cooperative symbionts enable their hosts to exploit a diversity of environments. A low genetic diversity (high relatedness) between the symbionts within a host is thought to favour cooperation by reducing conflict within the host. However, hosts will not be favoured to transmit their symbionts (or commensals) in costly ways that increase relatedness ...
