A Novel Ribosomal-based Method for Studying the Microbial Ecology of Environmental Engineering Systems
A novel ribosomal-based method was applied to examine genetic relationships among microorganisms in the phylogenetic domains of Archaea and Bacteria. Representative unaligned nucleotide sequences of 16s rRNA genes were retrieved from the RDP database. In the domain of Archaea, based on the numbers of certain tri-nucleotides or triplets, the two phyla, Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota could be se...
متن کاملMicrobial ecology‐based engineering of Microbial Electrochemical Technologies
Microbial ecology is devoted to the understanding of dynamics, activity and interaction of microorganisms in natural and technical ecosystems. Bioelectrochemical systems represent important technical ecosystems, where microbial ecology is of highest importance for their function. However, whereas aspects of, for example, materials and reactor engineering are commonly perceived as highly relevan...
متن کاملToxicokinetic Modeling Challenges for Aquatic Nanotoxicology
Nanotoxicity has become of increasing concern since the rapid development of metal nanoparticles (NPs). Aquatic nanotoxicity depends on crucial qualitative and quantitative properties of nanomaterials that induce adverse effects on subcellular, tissue, and, organ level. The dose-response effects of size-dependent metal NPs, however, are not well investigated in aquatic organisms. In order to de...
متن کاملSynthetic Microbial Ecology: Engineering Habitats for Modular Consortia
The metabolic diversity present in microbial communities enables cooperation toward accomplishing more complex tasks than possible by a single organism. Members of a consortium communicate by exchanging metabolites or signals that allow them to coordinate their activity through division of labor. In contrast with monocultures, evidence suggests that microbial consortia self-organize to form spa...
متن کاملIntestinal Microbial Ecology and Environmental Factors Affecting Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most devastating intestinal disease affecting preterm infants. In addition to being associated with short term mortality and morbidity, survivors are left with significant long term sequelae. The cost of caring for these infants is high. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that use of antibiotics and type of feeding may cause an intestinal dysbiosis important ...
