Stingless bees and microbial interactions
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2021Stingless bees (Meliponini) are a monophyletic group of eusocial insects inhabiting tropical and subtropical regions. These insects represent the most abundant and diversified group of corbiculate bees. Meliponini mostly rely on fermentation by symbiont microbes to preserve honey and transform pollen in stored food.

Microbial—Phagocytic Interactions
Clinics in Rheumatic Diseases, 1978SUMMARY The laboratory and clinical evidence is overwhelming that the phagocytic system is essential for protection against and for recovery from microbial disease (Table 1). Mobile phagocytic polymorphonuclear cells and mononuclear cells accumulate rapidly and in massive numbers in areas of inflammation such as the joint space of patients with ...

Intraspecies heterogeneity in microbial interactions
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2021Microbial interactions are increasingly recognized as an integral part of microbial physiology. Cell-cell communication mediated by quorum sensing and metabolite exchange is a formative element of microbial interactions. However, loss-of-function mutations in quorum-sensing components are common across diverse species.

Microbial Interactions in Soil
2019This chapter discusses the interactions of microorganisms with their surrounding biota in soil with an emphasis on prokaryotes. It describes the interactions among bacteria, as well as between bacteria and higher organisms such as fungi, protozoa, Bdellovibrio, and plant roots.

Microbial Interactions with Neutrophils
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1983Bacterial pathogenesis is heavily dependent on the capacities of microbial cells to avoid activating or to resist antimicrobial mediators of neutrophil polymorphonuclear granulocytes, the first line of phagocytic defense against infection. These capacities can but be understood in terms of the cell biology of neutrophils.

Microbial interactions in sediment communities
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1982Mineralization of organic matter in aquatic ecosystems with shallow waters occurs to a large extent in their sediments under anoxic conditions. This is achieved by a community of bacteria, which are the catalysts in a sequence of processes. O f the two possible terminal processes, methanogenesis and sulphate reduction, the first usually dominates in ...

Antibiotic discovery through microbial interactions
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2019Microorganisms produce biologically active natural products, some of which are useful as antibiotics and other medicines. A great demand for new antibiotics exists due to the diversity of pathogens and their mechanisms of drug resistance. Antibiotics were discovered as natural metabolites that enable a microorganism to suppress the growth of a ...

Plants interact with microbial polysaccharides
Journal of Supramolecular Structure, 1977AbstractPlants are resistant to almost all of the microorganisms with which they come in contact. In response to invasion by a fungus, bacterium, or a virus, many plants produce low molecular weight compounds, phytoalexins, which inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Phytoalexins are produced whether or not the invading microorganism is a pathogen. The

Microbial Interactions in Continuous Culture
1968Publisher Summary Mixed culture phenomena are not merely composites of the pure culture behavior of the organisms present. The performance of a complex microbial process depends on interactions between its species and strains. Microorganisms have vastly different nutritional requirements.

Microbial Interactions in Food Fermentations
Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, 2013Microbial interactions are important for the success and safety of food fermentations. Although much indispensable work has described the microbial succession in various fermentations, little is known about how the microbes present interact. Here, we discuss the various mechanisms of microbial interaction from trophic interactions to cell signaling. We
