Microbes do not live in isolation but in microbial communities. The relevance of microbial
communities is increasing due to growing awareness of their influence on a huge number of …

Antibiotic resistance is a serious global threat, and the misuse of antibiotics is considered its
main cause. It is characterized by the expression of bacterial defense mechanisms, eg, β …

Anaerobic gut fungi (Neocallimastigomycetes) live in the digestive tract of large herbivores,
where they are vastly outnumbered by bacteria. It has been suggested that anaerobic fungi …

Microorganisms are a fundamental part of virtually every ecosystem on earth. Understanding
how collectively they interact, assemble, and function as communities has become a …

Deciphering the cues that stimulate microorganisms to produce their full secondary
metabolic potential promises to speed up the discovery of novel drugs. Ecology-relevant …

Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are fatty acid‐derived molecules and serve as an important
form of biodiesel. The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is considered an ideal host …

Microbial communities in freshwater lake sediments exhibit a distinct depth-dependent
variability. Further exploration is required to understand their biodiversity pattern and …

Microbial communities organize into spatial patterns that are largely governed by
interspecies interactions. This phenomenon is an important metric for understanding …

The effect of nutrients on microbial interactions, including competition and collaboration, has
mainly been studied in laboratories, but their potential application to complex ecosystems is …

In the macroscopic world, ecological interactions between multiple species of fauna and
flora are recognised as major role-players in the evolution of any particular species. By …
