Lice, Humans, and Microbes
Lice are small, wingless, minor ectoparasites of mammals and birds. More than 540 blood-sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) have been described with each host having its own type of louse, suggesting the cospeciation of the lice species with their host. Among these, two lice species from two different genera infest humans: Pediculus humanus and Phthirus pubis (pubic “crab” l...
متن کاملTillage, habitat space and function of soil microbes
This review examines the effect of tillage on microbial habitat space, and the roles of microbes in in ̄uencing Ntransformation processes within a heterogeneous soil environment. Literature relating tillage to microbial processes is assessed critically focusing on (a) degrees of physical disruption and N-processes, (b) interactions between organisms and the soil pore network, and (c) the role of...
متن کاملPermeabilized microbes in biotechnology
AlkL is an outer membrane porin from Pseudomonas. Its expression in E. coli was shown to greatly stimulate the oxidation of hydrophobic substrates by a a recombinant oxygenase enzyme system. Bacterial membranes can be perturbed for biotechnological purposes by enzymatic treatment. Some of the enzymes and their actions are discussed on this commercial site. Different chemical treatments that are...
متن کاملEvolution in microbes.
This review presents a broad survey of experimental microbial evolution, covering diverse topics including trade-offs, epistasis, fluctuating conditions, spatial dynamics, cooperation, aging, and stochastic switching. Emphasis is placed on examples that highlight key conceptual points or address theoretical predictions. Experimental evolution is discussed from two points of view. First, populat...
متن کاملEcological suicide in microbes
The growth and survival of organisms often depend on interactions between them. In many cases, these interactions are positive and caused by a cooperative modification of the environment, such as the cooperative breakdown of complex nutrients in microbes [1]–[3] or the construction of elaborate architectures in social insects [4]. However, organisms can similarly display negative interactions b...
