Dynamics of microbial communities
Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract In initial ecosystems concentrations of all macro-and micronutrients can be considered as extremely low. Plant litter therefore strongly influences the development of a degraders' food web and is an important so...
متن کاملMicrobial secretor-cheater dynamics.
Microbial secretions manipulate the environment and communicate information to neighbours. The secretions of an individual microbe typically act externally and benefit all members of the local group. Secreting imposes a cost in terms of growth, so that cheaters that do not secrete gain by sharing the benefits without paying the costs. Cheaters have been observed in several experimental and natu...
متن کاملMicrobial community dynamics in MFCs
38 The performance and dynamics of the bacterial communities in the biofilm and suspended 39 culture in the anode chamber of sucrose-fed microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were studied by using 40 Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified partial 16S rRNA genes 41 followed by species identification by sequencing. The power density of MFCs was correlated to 42 the relative proport...
متن کاملUniversality of Human Microbial Dynamics
Human-associated microbial communities have a crucial role in determining our health and well-being, and this has led to the continuing development of microbiome-based therapies such as faecal microbiota transplantation. These microbial communities are very complex, dynamic and highly personalized ecosystems, exhibiting a high degree of inter-individual variability in both species assemblages a...
متن کاملMicrobial Bebop: Creating Music from Complex Dynamics in Microbial Ecology
In order for society to make effective policy decisions on complex and far-reaching subjects, such as appropriate responses to global climate change, scientists must effectively communicate complex results to the non-scientifically specialized public. However, there are few ways however to transform highly complicated scientific data into formats that are engaging to the general community. Taki...
