Influence of bioturbation by the polychaete Nereis diversicolor on the structure of bacterial communities in oil contaminated coastal sediments [PDF]
, 2007 Patterns of change in the structure of bacterial communities monitored by ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) in oil contaminated sediments inhabited or not by the marine polychaete Nereis diversicolor were studied during 45 days under laboratory

Tunable cell differentiation via reprogrammed mating-type switching
Nature CommunicationsThis study introduces a synthetic biology approach that reprograms the yeast mating-type switching mechanism for tunable cell differentiation, facilitating synthetic microbial consortia formation and cooperativity. The underlying mechanism was engineered

Fungal population and diversity in organically amended agricultural soils of Meghalaya, India [PDF]
, 2011 The effect of different organic fertilisers (farm yard manure [FYM]; vermicompost [VC]; plant compost [PC] and integrated compost [INT], i.e. a combination of FYM, VC and PC in a 1:1:1 ratio) on the population and diversity of soil fungi was investigated

The effect of immigration on the adaptation of microbial communities to warming [PDF]
, 2015 Theory predicts that immigration can either enhance or impair the rate at which species and whole communities adapt to environmental change, depending on the traits of genotypes and species in the source pool relative to local conditions. These responses

Synthetic control of a fitness tradeoff in yeast nitrogen metabolism
Journal of Biological Engineering, 2009 Background Microbial communities are involved in many processes relevant to industrial and medical biotechnology, such as the formation of biofilms, lignocellulosic degradation, and hydrogen production. The manipulation of synthetic and natural microbial

Scan-o-matic: High-Resolution Microbial Phenomics at a Massive Scale
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The capacity to map traits over large cohorts of individuals—phenomics—lags far behind the explosive development in genomics. For microbes, the estimation of growth is the key phenotype because of its link to fitness.

Spatial organization of the kelp microbiome at micron scales
Microbiome, 2022 Background Elucidating the spatial structure of host-associated microbial communities is essential for understanding taxon-taxon interactions within the microbiota and between microbiota and host. Macroalgae are colonized by complex microbial communities,
