Formate Formation and Formate Conversion in Biological Fuels Production [PDF]

, 2011
Biomethanation is a mature technology for fuel production. Fourth generation biofuels research will focus on sequestering CO2 and providing carbon-neutral or carbon-negative strategies to cope with dwindling fossil fuel supplies and environmental impact.

Functional–Taxonomic Scaling Resolves Conflicting Average Genome Size Estimates Across Environmental Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional

Single-Genotype Syntrophy by Rhodopseudomonas palustris Is Not a Strategy to Aid Redox Balance during Anaerobic Degradation of Lignin Monomers [PDF]

, 2016
Rhodopseudomonas palustris has emerged as a model microbe for the anaerobic metabolism of p-coumarate, which is an aromatic compound and a primary component of lignin. However, under anaerobic conditions, R.

Enhanced Endophytic Colonization of Flavobacterium Promotes Plant Resistance to Fusarium Wilt

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural microbial consortium employing a cross‐feeding strategy forms a stratified biofilm that promotes endophytic colonization of auxotrophic Flavobacterium. This enhanced colonization activates plant systemic resistance, effectively suppressing Fusarium wilt.

HYDROGEN STRESS AND SYNTROPHY OF HYPERTHERMOPHILIC HETEROTROPHS AND METHANOGENS

, 2018
Approximately 1 giga ton (Gt, 1015 g) of CH4 is formed globally per year from H2, CO2, and acetate through methanogenesis, largely by methanogens growing in syntrophic association with anaerobic microbes that hydrolyze and ferment biopolymers.

Acidogenic fermentation of pretreated food waste under psychrophilic conditions for volatile fatty acids production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Mixed‐culture fermentation generally produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a mixture of C2–C6 acids. Among operational parameters, temperature has a distinct effect on the microorganisms' metabolic activity, which can shift the composition of the metabolites.

Beyond antimicrobials: Ecological nano‐strategies for rebalancing dysbiotic oral microbial homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Oral microbial homeostasis, a dynamic host‐microbe balance, is vital in infectious diseases. Conventional antibiotics often disrupt this homeostasis, spurring interest in nanomaterials for oral microbial homeostasis rebalancing. This review outlines nanomaterial strategies across three ecological levels (population/community, ecosystem, and cross ...

Syntrophy emerges frequently when pairs of random viable metabolisms interact.

, 2019
a) The average number of additional carbon sources that metabolisms with 2,079 (left) or 520 (right) reactions are viable on is shown for single metabolisms (blue), for pairs of metabolisms expected by chance alone (cyan), and for pairs of metabolisms in

Yeast Knockout Strain Collection: Driving Functional Genomics, Biotechnological Applications and Human Disease Research

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The knockout strain collection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has served as a valuable resource for functional genomics and yeast‐based biotechnology studies. A comprehensive single‐gene knockout strain collection, covering nearly all non‐essential genes, together with complementary mutant collections for essential genes, including temperature ...
