Ecological Perspectives on Synthetic Biology: Insights from Microbial Population Biology [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The metabolic capabilities of microbes are the basis for many major biotechnological advances, exploiting microbial diversity by selection or engineering of single strains.

Population-based microbial computing: a third wave of synthetic biology? [PDF]

International Journal of General Systems, 2014
Synthetic biology is an emerging research field, in which engineering principles are applied to natural, living systems. A major goal of synthetic biology is to harness the inherent “biological nanotechnology” of living cells for the purposes of computation, production or diagnosis.

Biological evolution: Lessons to be learned from microbial population biology and genetics

Research in Microbiology, 2004
This issue is dedicated to the memory of Michel Blot, who died in a tragic accident in the French Alps in September 2002, bringing his fruitful scientific activities to a sudden end. After having completed his basic and doctoral education in population biology of eukaryotic organisms, Michel Blot joined my laboratory in 1989 with the intention of ...

Review of the Arbitrium (ARM) System: Molecular Mechanisms, Ecological Impacts, and Applications in Phage–Host Communication [PDF]

Microorganisms
Bacteriophages (phages) play a pivotal role in shaping microbial communities and driving bacterial evolution. Among the diverse mechanisms governing phage–host interactions, the Arbitrium (ARM) communication system represents a recently discovered ...

RAREFAN: A webservice to identify REPINs and RAYTs in bacterial genomes

Peer Community Journal, 2023
Compared to eukaryotes, repetitive sequences are rare in bacterial genomes and usually do not persist for long. Yet, there is at least one class of persistent prokaryotic mobile genetic elements: REPINs.

Advances in Methods of Microbial Molecular Ecology

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022
Microbial molecular ecology is an interdisciplinary of molecular biology and microbial ecology. It is important to understand the composition and structure, function, the relationship between microorganisms and the relationship between microorganisms and

Evolution of genome fragility enables microbial division of labor

Molecular Systems Biology, 2023
Division of labor can evolve when social groups benefit from the functional specialization of its members. Recently, a novel means of coordinating the division of labor was found in the antibiotic‐producing bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor, where ...

Contrasting coffee leaf rust epidemics between forest coffee and semi-forest coffee agroforestry systems in SW-Ethiopia

Heliyon, 2022
Ethiopian Arabica coffee is produced in different agroforestry systems which differ in forest management intensity. In forest coffee systems (FC), coffee shrubs grow naturally in the understory of Afromontane forests with little human intervention ...

Neurospora from natural populations: Population genomics insights into the Life history of a model microbial Eukaryote [PDF]

, 2020
The ascomycete filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa played a historic role in experimental biology and became a model system for genetic research. Stimulated by a systematic effort to collect wild strains initiated by Stanford geneticist David Perkins ...
