Fast detection and identification of microorganisms is a challenging and significant feature
from industry to medicine. Standard approaches are known to be very time-consuming and …

Functional diversity is increasingly recognized by microbial ecologists as the essential link
between biodiversity patterns and ecosystem functioning, determining the trophic …

Carbohydrate-rich waste streams can be used for bioproduction of medium-chain carboxylic
acids (MCCA) such as caproic acid. The carbohydrates in these streams can be converted to …

Mechanistic insights into the role of the human microbiome in the predisposition to and
treatment of disease are limited by the lack of methods to precisely add or remove microbial …

Abstract 20 years since the first report on the biofouling potential of chemicals used for scale
control, still, antiscalants with high bacterial growth potential are used in practice. Evaluating …

Background Transit time is an important modulator of the human gut microbiome. The
inability to modify transit time as the sole variable hampers mechanistic in vivo microbiome …

A meta-analysis of existing and available Illumina 16S rRNA datasets from drinking water
source, treatment and drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) were collated to compare …

Engineered and monitored sanitary landfills have been widespread in the United States
since the passage of the Clean Water Act (1972) with additional controls under RCRA …

To characterize microbiomes and other ecological assemblages, ecologists routinely
sequence and compare loci that differ among focal taxa. Counts of these sequences convey …

Here we used flow cytometry (FCM) and filtration paired with amplicon sequencing to
determine the abundance and composition of small low nucleic acid (LNA)-content bacteria …
