Metabolism is the complex network of chemical reactions occurring within every cell and
organism, maintaining life, mediating ecosystem processes and affecting Earth's climate …

Background Prokaryotic microbes have impacted marine biogeochemical cycles for billions
of years. Viruses also impact these cycles, through lysis, horizontal gene transfer, and …

Much attention has focused on understanding microbial interactions leading to stable co-
cultures. In this work, substrate pulsing was performed to promote better control of the …

Species utilizing the same resources often fail to coexist for extended periods of time. Such
competitive exclusion mechanisms potentially underly microbiome dynamics, causing …

Phytoplankton dynamics are regulated by external cues, such as light and nutrients, as well
as by biotic interactions and endogenous controls linked to life cycle characteristics. The …

Constraint-based modeling has risen as an alternative for characterizing metabolism of
communities. Adaptations of flux balance analysis have been proposed to model metabolic …

Life is organized into more or less well-defined organizational levels, connected both
horizontally and vertically. Our knowledge is richer along the horizontal levels (eg inter …

Genome-scale metabolic modeling is a powerful framework for predicting metabolic
phenotypes of any organism with an annotated genome. For two decades, this framework …

This study assessed the bacterioplankton community and its relationship with environmental
variables, including total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration, in the Yucatan shelf …

Microbial lipases play a pivotal role in a wide range of biotechnological processes and in the
human skin microbiome. However, their evolution remains poorly understood. Accessing the …
