Impact of inoculum type on the microbial community and power performance of urine-fed microbial fuel cells [PDF]

, 2020
Bacteria are the driving force of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which benefits from their natural ability to degrade organic matter and generate electricity. The development of an efficient anodic biofilm has a significant impact on the power

Marine Community Metabolomes Carry Fingerprints of Phytoplankton Community Composition

mSystems, 2021
Microscopic phytoplankton transform 100 million tons of inorganic carbon into thousands of different organic compounds each day. The structure of each chemical is critical to its biological and ecosystem function, yet the diversity of biomolecules ...

Interactions of Mycorrhiza and Protists in the Rhizosphere Systemically Alter Microbial Community Composition, Plant Shoot-to-Root Ratio and Within-Root System Nitrogen Allocation

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important symbionts for plant nutrient uptake, but their exact role in plant nitrogen (N) nutrition is unclear. Protists on the other hand play an acknowledged role in plant N acquisition, and there is increasing ...

Examination of the role of the microbial loop in regulating lake nutrient stoichiometry and phytoplankton dynamics [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
The recycling of organic material through bacteria and microzooplankton to higher trophic levels, known as the "microbial loop", is an important process in aquatic ecosystems.

Morphological and molecular analyses of season-specific responses of freshwater ciliate communities to top-down and bottom-up experimental manipulations

mSystems
In aquatic microbial food webs, ciliates represent an important trophic link in the energy transfer from prokaryotes, algae, and heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNFs) to higher trophic levels. However, the trophic role of abundant small ciliates (

Methodological Considerations and Comparisons of Measurement Results for Extracellular Proteolytic Enzyme Activities in Seawater

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Microbial extracellular hydrolytic enzymes that degrade organic matter in aquatic ecosystems play key roles in the biogeochemical carbon cycle. To provide linkages between hydrolytic enzyme activities and genomic or metabolomic studies in aquatic ...

Loop Leaping with Closures [PDF]

, 2012
Loop leaping is the colloquial name given to a form of program analysis in which summaries are derived for nested loops starting from the innermost loop and proceeding in a bottom-up fashion considering one more loop at a time.

C and P in aquatic food chain: A review on C:P stoichiometry and PUFA regulation

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2010
Carbon (C) and phosphorous (P) regulation in aquatic food chains are transferred from lower to upper trophic levels primarily as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and C:P stoichiometry. The majority of C is transferred through algal
