Volatile affairs in microbial interactions [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2015
Abstract Microorganisms are important factors in shaping our environment. One key characteristic that has been neglected for a long time is the ability of microorganisms to release chemically diverse volatile compounds. At present, it is clear that the blend of volatiles released by microorganisms can be very complex and often includes ...

Exploring interactions in microbial communities

Current Opinion in Biotechnology
Most microbial ecosystems cannot be understood without quantifying ecological interactions between their member species. Given the challenges of comprehensively resolving interactions experimentally, a range of prediction methods was developed. Here, we review genome-based prediction methods in particular and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.

Biotic Interactions in Microbial Communities as Modulators of Biogeochemical Processes: Methanotrophy as a Model System [PDF]

, 2016
Microbial interaction is an integral component of microbial ecology studies, yet the role, extent, and relevance of microbial interaction in community functioning remains unclear, particularly in the context of global biogeochemical cycles.

Intra- and inter-species interactions in microbial communities [PDF]

, 2015
Recent developments in various “OMICs” fields have revolutionized our understanding of the vast diversity and ubiquity of microbes in the biosphere. However, most of the current paradigms of microbial cell biology, and our view of how microbes live and ...

Tracking microbial interactions with NanoSIMS [PDF]

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2016
The combination of stable isotope probing (SIP), NanoSIMS imaging and microbe identification via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is often used to link identity to function at the cellular level in microbial communities. Many opportunities remain for nanoSIP to identify metabolic interactions and nutrient fluxes within syntrophic associations ...

Potential TMA-Producing Bacteria Are Ubiquitously Found in Mammalia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Human gut bacteria metabolize dietary components such as choline and carnitine to trimethylamine (TMA) that is subsequently oxidized to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) by hepatic enzymes.

Combined utilization of metabolic inhibitors to prevent synergistic multi-species biofilm formation

AMB Express, 2022
Key Points 37 bacterial strains were isolated and identified from a cooling tower biofilm. Synergistic effect of biofilm formation was observed among four species.

Uncovering the trimethylamine-producing bacteria of the human gut microbiota

Microbiome, 2017
Background Trimethylamine (TMA), produced by the gut microbiota from dietary quaternary amines (mainly choline and carnitine), is associated with atherosclerosis and severe cardiovascular disease.

The emerging potential of microbiome transplantation on human health interventions

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022
The human microbiome has been the subject of intense research over the past few decades, in particular as a promising area for new clinical interventions. The microbiota colonizing the different body surfaces are of benefit for multiple physiological and

Microbial interactions in building of communities [PDF]

Molecular Oral Microbiology, 2012
SummaryEstablishment of a community is considered to be essential for microbial growth and survival in the human oral cavity. Biofilm communities have increased resilience to physical forces, antimicrobial agents and nutritional variations. Specific cell‐to‐cell adherence processes, mediated by adhesin‐receptor pairings on respective microbial surfaces,
