Spectral Algal Fingerprinting and Long Sequencing in Synthetic Algal–Microbial Communities

Cells
Synthetic biology has advanced in creating artificial microbial and algal communities, but technical and evolutionary complexities still pose significant challenges. Traditional methods, like microscopy and pigment analysis, are limited in throughput and

Evolutionary and functional genomics of DNA methylation in maize domestication and improvement

Nature Communications, 2020
Variation and evolution of DNA methylation during maize domestication remain largely unknown. Here, the authors generate genome and methylome sequencing data as well as HiChIP-based interactome data to investigate the adaptive and phenotypic consequences

Augmenting Biogas Process Modeling by Resolving Intracellular Metabolic Activity [PDF]

, 2019
The process of anaerobic digestion in which waste biomass is transformed to methane by complex microbial communities has been modeled for more than 16 years by parametric gray box approaches that simplify process biology and do not resolve intracellular ...

Evolutionary rescue of spherical mreB deletion mutants of the rod-shape bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25

eLife
Maintenance of rod-shape in bacterial cells depends on the actin-like protein MreB. Deletion of mreB from Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 results in viable spherical cells of variable volume and reduced fitness.

Impacts of local human activities on the Antarctic environment [PDF]

, 2008
We review the scientific literature, especially from the past decade, on the impacts of human activities on the Antarctic environment. A range of impacts has been identified at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.

Soil sustainability in organic agricultural production [PDF]

, 2006
Traditionally, the assessment of soil sustainability and the potential impact of cultivation are based upon the application of chemical procedures. In the absence of a biological context, these measurements offer little in understanding longterm changes ...
