In nature microorganisms live in complex microbial communities. Comprehensive taxonomic
and functional knowledge about microbial communities supports medical and technical …

Many intestinal pathogens, including Clostridioides difficile, use mucus-derived sugars as
crucial nutrients in the gut. Commensals that compete with pathogens for such nutrients are …

Genetically identical cells are known to differ in many physiological parameters such as
growth rate and drug tolerance. Metabolic specialization is believed to be a cause of such …

Inhibition of anaerobic digestion through accumulation of volatile fatty acids occasionally
occurs as the result of unbalanced growth between acidogenic bacteria and methanogens …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria mediate a key step in the
biogeochemical nitrogen cycle and have been applied worldwide for the energy-efficient …

The recalcitrant nature of lignocellulosic biomass hinders efficient exploitation of this fraction
for energy production. A better understanding of the microorganisms able to convert plant …

Metaproteomics, the study of the collective protein composition of multi-organism systems,
provides deep insights into the biodiversity of microbial communities and the complex …

Biotransformation of soil organochlorine pesticides (OCP) is often impeded by a lack of
nutrients relevant for bacterial growth and/or co-metabolic OCP biotransformation. By …

Introduction: The study of microbial communities based on the combined analysis of
genomic and proteomic data–called metaproteogenomics–has gained increased research …
