Considering Intra-individual Genetic Heterogeneity to Understand Biodiversity [PDF]

, 2019
In this chapter, I am concerned with the concept of Intra-individual Genetic Hetereogeneity (IGH) and its potential influence on biodiversity estimates. Definitions of biological individuality are often indirectly dependent on genetic sampling -and vice ...

Hibernation Leads to Altered Gut Communities in Bumblebee Queens (Bombus terrestris)

Insects, 2018
Many reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and insects practice some form of hibernation during which their metabolic rate is drastically reduced. This allows them to conserve energy and survive the harsh winter conditions with little or no food.

An environment-sensitive synthetic microbial ecosystem. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Microbial ecosystems have been widely used in industrial production, but the inter-relationships of organisms within them haven't been completely clarified due to complex composition and structure of natural microbial ecosystems. So it is challenging for

Conserved organ-specific microbial assemblages in different populations of a terrestrial crab

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment and provide genetic and physiological functions to multicellular organisms. Knowledge on the associated microbiota is becoming highly relevant to understand the host’s ecology and biology.

Heterogeneity in pure microbial systems: experimental measurements and modeling [PDF]

, 2017
Cellular heterogeneity influences bioprocess performance in ways that until date are not completely elucidated. In order to account for this phenomenon in the design and operation of bioprocesses, reliable analytical and mathematical descriptions are ...

Temporal and spatial variation in bacterial communities of “Jonagold” apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) and “Conference” pear (Pyrus communis L.) floral nectar

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Production of many agricultural crops and fruits strongly depends on pollinators. For instance, pome fruits such as apple and pear are highly dependent on pollination for fruit set, fruit quality, and yield.

Multilocus Sequence Analysis, a Rapid and Accurate Tool for Taxonomic Classification, Evolutionary Relationship Determination, and Population Biology Studies of the Genus Shewanella

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2019
The MLSA scheme based on six housekeeping genes (HKGs) (gyrA, gyrB, infB, recN, rpoA, and topA) is well established as a reliable tool for taxonomic, evolutionary, and population diversity analyses of the genus Shewanella in this study. The standard MLSA
