The electric picnic: synergistic requirements for exoelectrogenic microbial communities.
Characterization of the various microbial populations present in exoelectrogenic biofilms provides insight into the processes required to convert complex organic matter in wastewater streams into electrical current in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). Analysis of the community profiles of exoelectrogenic microbial consortia in BESs fed different substrates gives a clearer picture of the differ...
متن کاملQuantitative Research Designs: Experimental
The ideas used in experiments today were mostly in place by the first few decades of the 20th century. The procedures of comparing groups, assigning individuals to treatments, and statistically analyzing group comparisons had been developed by 1940. During the 1960s, the types of experimental designs were identified and the strengths (e.g., control over potential threats) of these designs speci...
متن کاملInfrastructure requirements for secondary data sources in comparative effectiveness research.
The growing interest in comparative effectiveness research (CER) has re-ignited the debate about the inadequacy of data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to address patient-centered decision making. Despite their well-known internal validity and use as the gold standard for regulatory decision making, the limitations of RCTs are widely recognized. In addition to their lack of statistical...
متن کاملQuantitative phylogenetic assessment of microbial communities in diverse environments.
The taxonomic composition of environmental communities is an important indicator of their ecology and function. We used a set of protein-coding marker genes, extracted from large-scale environmental shotgun sequencing data, to provide a more direct, quantitative, and accurate picture of community composition than that provided by traditional ribosomal RNA-based approaches depending on the polym...
متن کاملThe Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure MIRRI: Strength through Coordination
Microbial resources have been recognized as essential raw materials for the advancement of health and later for biotechnology, agriculture, food technology and for research in the life sciences, as their enormous abundance and diversity offer an unparalleled source of unexplored solutions. Microbial domain biological resource centres (mBRC) provide live cultures and associated data to foster an...
