Bacterial Communities: Interactions to Scale
In the environment, bacteria live in complex multispecies communities. These communities span in scale from small, multicellular aggregates to billions or trillions of cells within the gastrointestinal tract of animals. The dynamics of bacterial communities are determined by pairwise interactions that occur between different species in the community. Though interactions occur between a few cell...
متن کاملCompetitive and cooperative metabolic interactions in bacterial communities.
Revealing the ecological principles that shape communities is a major challenge of the post-genomic era. To date, a systematic approach for describing inter-species interactions has been lacking. Here we independently predict the competitive and cooperative potential between 6,903 bacterial pairs derived from a collection of 118 species' metabolic models. We chart an intricate association betwe...
متن کاملBacteriocin-Mediated Competitive Interactions of Bacterial Populations and Communities
D. Drider and S. Rebuffat (eds.), Prokaryotic Antimicrobial Peptides: From Genes to Applications, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4419-7692-5_2, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 Abstract Explaining the coexistence of competing species is a major challenge in community ecology. In bacterial systems, competition is often driven by the production of bacteriocins; narrow spectrum proteinaceous toxins ...
متن کاملBacterial communities in full-scale wastewater treatment systems
Bacterial metabolism determines the effectiveness of biological treatment of wastewater. Therefore, it is important to define the relations between the species structure and the performance of full-scale installations. Although there is much laboratory data on microbial consortia, our understanding of dependencies between the microbial structure and operational parameters of full-scale wastewat...
متن کاملField-scale transplantation experiment to investigate structures of soil bacterial communities at pioneering sites.
Studies on the effect of environmental conditions on plants and microorganisms are a central issue in ecology, and they require an adequate experimental setup. A strategy often applied in geobotanical studies is based on the reciprocal transplantation of plant species at different sites. We adopted a similar approach as a field-based tool to investigate the relationships of soil bacterial commu...
