Genome-driven evolutionary game theory helps understand the rise of metabolic interdependencies in microbial communities [PDF]
, 2017 Metabolite exchanges in microbial communities give rise to ecological interactions that govern ecosystem diversity and stability. It is unclear, however, how the rise of these interactions varies across metabolites and organisms.

Microbial Interactions in Soil
Microorganisms, 2022 Our view on the diversity and distribution of soil microbiota has expanded and continues to do so, driven by high-throughput sequencing technologies, but comparatively little is known about how these organisms affect each other [...]

Influence of nontrophic interactions between benthic invertebrates on river sediment processes: a microcosm study [PDF]
, 2004 The main objective of this study was to measure the impact of benthic invertebrate diversity on river sediment processes. We quantified the effects of interactions between three taxa (asellids, chironomid larvae, and tubificid worms).

Spatial scales of interactions among bacteria and between bacteria and the leaf surface. [PDF]
, 2015 Microbial life on plant leaves is characterized by a multitude of interactions between leaf colonizers and their environment. While the existence of many of these interactions has been confirmed, their spatial scale or reach often remained unknown.

Mechanistic Insight into the Enzymatic Reduction of Truncated Hemoglobin N of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: role of the CD loop and pre-A Motif in electron cycling [PDF]
, 2014 Background: The HbN of Mycobacterium tuberculosis carries a potent nitric-oxide dioxygenase activity despite lacking a reductase domain. Results: The NADH-ferredoxin reductase system acts as an efficient partner for the reduction of HbN.

Bacterial Adaptation during Chronic Respiratory Infections
Pathogens, 2015 Chronic lung infections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality for individuals with underlying respiratory conditions such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The process of chronic colonisation allows

Natural products in the predatory defence of the filamentous fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2021 The kingdom of fungi comprises a large and highly diverse group of organisms that thrive in diverse natural environments. One factor to successfully confront challenges in their natural habitats is the capability to synthesize defensive secondary ...
