mBio, 2020 Microbial syntrophy is universal in nature, profoundly affecting the composition and function of microbiomes. We have recently reported data suggesting direct cell-to-cell interactions leading to electron and material exchange between the two microbes in

Asymmetric metabolic adaptations undermine stability in microbial syntrophy. [PDF]
ISME CommunAbstract Syntrophic interaction, driven by metabolite exchange, is widespread within microbial communities. However, co-inoculation of most auxotrophic microorganisms often fails to establish a stable metabolite exchange relationship. Here, we engineered two auxotrophic Escherichia coli strains, each dependent on the other for essential ...

Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]
, 2016 Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

Syntrophy of aerobic and anaerobic ammonia oxidisers
Water Science and Technology, 2010 Deammonification is known as an efficient and resource saving sidestream process option to remove the nitrogen load from sludge liquors. The transfer of the intermediate product nitrite between both syntrophic groups of organisms – aerobic and anaerobic ammonia oxidizers (AOB) – appears very sensitive to process conditions such as temperature ...

Eukaryogenesis: Did an Oxidative Crucible Result in Misleading Bioinformatic Analyses? [PDF]
BioessaysRecently, Nature published a timed gene duplication analysis favoring gradual models for eukaryogenesis. However, high initial mutation rates due to endogenous ROS formation by the OXPHOS system of the future mitochondrion and ensuing positive selection for countermeasures might strongly inflate branch lengths in such analyses. Ruling out symbiogenesis

Population–reaction model and microbial experimental ecosystems for understanding hierarchical dynamics of ecosystems [PDF]
, 2016 Understanding ecosystem dynamics is crucial as contemporary human societies face ecosystem degradation. One of the challenges that needs to be recognized is the complex hierarchical dynamics.

Visualization of metabolic interaction networks in microbial communities using VisANT 5.0 [PDF]
, 2016 The complexity of metabolic networks in microbial communities poses an unresolved visualization and interpretation challenge. We address this challenge in the newly expanded version of a software tool for the analysis of biological networks, VisANT 5.0 ...

Interactive Film & Media Journal, 2023 While the gift economy is often considered a mechanism to strengthen social ties, the grift economy is often considered detrimental. However both systems rely on reciprocal play adding complexity to and questioning the ‘valuation’ mythology in contemporary free market logic.
