Is the thermodynamic efficiency of soil microbial communities related to ecosystem maturity and stress? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
According to the second law of thermodynamics, no process can be 100% efficient and all processes must increase the total entropy of the system they occupy.

Biosynthesis, evolution and ecology of microbial terpenoids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Covering: through June 2021 Terpenoids are the largest class of natural products recognised to date. While mostly known to humans as bioactive plant metabolites and part of essential oils, structurally diverse terpenoids are increasingly reported to be ...

Thiobacillus as a key player for biofilm formation in oligotrophic groundwaters of the Fennoscandian Shield

open access: yesnpj 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

EVOLUTION OF MICROBIAL PATHOGENS

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Evolution of microbial markets [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Freeze-drying can replace cold-chains for transport and storage of fecal microbiome samples [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Genomic data resource of type strains of genus Pseudoxanthomonas

open access: yesData 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.

Interplay between eutrophication and climate warming on bacterial communities in coastal sediments differs depending on water depth and oxygen history

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Coastal aquatic systems suffer from nutrient enrichment, which results in accelerated eutrophication effects due to increased microbial metabolic rates.
