Microbial individuality: how single-cell heterogeneity enables population level strategies.
Much of our knowledge of microbial life is only a description of average population behaviours, but modern technologies provide a more inclusive view and reveal that microbes also have individuality. It is now acknowledged that isogenic cell-to-cell heterogeneity is common across organisms and across different biological processes. This heterogeneity can be regulated and functional, rather than...
متن کاملSingle-cell Analysis and Modelling of Cell Population Heterogeneity
Recent technological developments allow gathering single-cell measurements across different domains (genomic, transcriptomics, proteomics, imaging etc). Sophisticated computational algorithms are required in order to harness the power of single-cell data. This session is dedicated to computational methods for single-cell analysis in various biological domains, modelling of population heterogene...
متن کاملProduction Strategies and Applications of Microbial Single Cell Oils
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the ω-3 and ω-6 class (e.g., α-linolenic acid, linoleic acid) are essential for maintaining biofunctions in mammalians like humans. Due to the fact that humans cannot synthesize these essential fatty acids, they must be taken up from different food sources. Classical sources for these fatty acids are porcine liver and fish oil. However, microbial lipids or...
متن کاملMicrobial analysis at the single-cell level: tasks and techniques.
The heterogeneity of microorganisms themselves is orders of magnitude greater than the heterogeneity of perspectives from which they are contemplated by human observers. Even closely related species may exhibit marked differences in biochemistry and behavior, and, under many conditions, similar, striking heterogeneity may exist within a clonal population of organisms which, in the aggregate, oc...
متن کاملEngineering Shewanella oneidensis enables xylose-fed microbial fuel cell
BACKGROUND The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a green and sustainable technology for electricity energy harvest from biomass, in which exoelectrogens use metabolism and extracellular electron transfer pathways for the conversion of chemical energy into electricity. However, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, one of the most well-known exoelectrogens, could not use xylose (a key pentose derived from hydr...
