Scalable and exhaustive screening of metabolic functions carried out by microbial consortia

Biological Conversion of Normal Chain Octadecane by Native Microbial Consortia

"> Long-chain alkanes are a major constituent of crude oils and their conversions into other compounds are of interest depending on the specific application. Here, five <span style="font-size: 9pt; color...

Safety and feasibility of prehospital thrombolysis carried out by paramedics.

The benefits of thrombolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction are time dependent, with a potential 48% reduction in mortality if treatment is received within an hour of onset of symptoms. The benefits diminish thereafter. However the “call to needle” standard set by the national service framework has been achieved for only a third of patients nationally because of lengthy ambulance ...

Microbial consortia at steady supply

Metagenomics has revealed hundreds of species in almost all microbiota. In a few well-studied cases, microbial communities have been observed to coordinate their metabolic fluxes. In principle, microbes can divide tasks to reap the benefits of specialization, as in human economies. However, the benefits and stability of an economy of microbial specialists are far from obvious. Here, we physical...
