Emergent Biosynthetic Capacity in Simple Microbial Communities
Microbes have an astonishing capacity to transform their environments. Yet, the metabolic capacity of a single species is limited and the vast majority of microorganisms form complex communities and join forces to exhibit capabilities far exceeding those achieved by any single species. Such enhanced metabolic capacities represent a promising route to many medical, environmental, and industrial ...
متن کاملNext‐generation studies of microbial biofilm communities
As we look into the future of microbial biofilm research, there is clearly an emerging focus on communities rather than populations. This represents an essential change in direction to more accurately understand how and why microorganisms assemble into communities, as well as the functional implications for such a life style. For example, current research studies shows that communities display ...
متن کاملIntercellular communications in multispecies oral microbial communities
The oral cavity contains more than 700 microbial species that are engaged in extensive cell-cell interactions. These interactions contribute to the formation of highly structured multispecies communities, allow them to perform physiological functions, and induce synergistic pathogenesis. Co-adhesion between oral microbial species influences their colonization of oral cavity and effectuates, to ...
متن کاملEmergent biogeography of microbial communities in a model ocean.
A marine ecosystem model seeded with many phytoplankton types, whose physiological traits were randomly assigned from ranges defined by field and laboratory data, generated an emergent community structure and biogeography consistent with observed global phytoplankton distributions. The modeled organisms included types analogous to the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Their emergent global...
متن کاملAntibiotics: Conflict and Communication in Microbial Communities Antibiotics mediate species interactions in natural habitats, affecting the dynamics of microbial coevolution
The discovery that microbes produce antibiotic compounds that kill or inhibit other microbes revolutionized modern medicine by offering a means to treat microbial infections. Thus, the “golden age” of antibiotic discovery began when hundreds of antibiotics from diverse microbial genera were characterized for their effıcacy in controlling pathogens and the infections they cause. When used at sub...
