Microbial communities as biosensors for monitoring urban environments
The BE microbiome is a naturally embedded biosensor in urban infrastructure that can be used to monitor environmental quality and human activity. There are many potential opportunities for leveraging BE microbial communities to guide urban design and public health policy.
متن کاملAnalysis of microbial communities with electrochemical microsensors and microscale biosensors.
Electrochemical microsensors for O2, pH, H2S, H2, and N2O are now available commercially, thus it has become a relatively simple task to analyze the microenvironment in stratified microbial communities for several chemical species. In addition, sensors are available for the physical parameters diffusivity and flow, and based on knowledge about both transport processes and microdistribution of c...
متن کاملMicrobial communities evolve faster in extreme environments
Evolutionary analysis of microbes at the community level represents a new research avenue linking ecological patterns to evolutionary processes, but remains insufficiently studied. Here we report a relative evolutionary rates (rERs) analysis of microbial communities from six diverse natural environments based on 40 metagenomic samples. We show that the rERs of microbial communities are mainly s...
متن کاملMicrobial biosensors.
A microbial biosensor is an analytical device that couples microorganisms with a transducer to enable rapid, accurate and sensitive detection of target analytes in fields as diverse as medicine, environmental monitoring, defense, food processing and safety. The earlier microbial biosensors used the respiratory and metabolic functions of the microorganisms to detect a substance that is either a ...
