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.

Probiotic modulation of symbiotic gut microbial–host metabolic interactions in a humanized microbiome mouse model [PDF]

Molecular Systems Biology, 2008
The transgenomic metabolic effects of exposure to either Lactobacillus paracasei or Lactobacillus rhamnosus probiotics have been measured and mapped in humanized extended genome mice (germ‐free mice colonized with human baby flora).

Identifying Keystone Species in the Human Gut Microbiome from Metagenomic Timeseries using Sparse Linear Regression [PDF]

, 2014
Human associated microbial communities exert tremendous influence over human health and disease. With modern metagenomic sequencing methods it is possible to follow the relative abundance of microbes in a community over time.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
