Do the diversity criteria of conventional ecology apply to microbial ecology?.
(Transworld Research Network, 2013)
This review analyzes the main conceptual and methodological differences between macro-diversity (higherorganisms diversity) and micro-diversity (microbial diversity) assessment which can limit the application of conventional ...
The assembly of microbial communities in engineered ecosystems
(Transworld research network, 2011)
Understanding the development of community pattern is a central focus of ecological research. Microbiologists are currently applying concepts derived from ecological studies of plants and animals, as well as developing ...
Patterns, Processes and Mechanisms in Microbial Ecology: Contributions from the 'Omics'
(Caister Academic Press, 2019)
The complexity of interactions among microorganisms and of microorganisms with their environment and with other organisms is becoming increasingly understood by microbial ecology researchers, helped by the development of ...
Microbial Mats: Impact on Geology
(Elsevier, 2017)
Geobiology is an emergent discipline in which the principles and tools of biology are applied to studies of the Earth. How life began, how it evolved, and how environmental conditions have influenced these processes are ...
Strategies to Improve the Performance of Microbial Biosensors: Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Engineering, Nanotechnology and Synthetic Biology
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2020)
A microbial biosensor is an analytical device that integrates microorganisms with a physical transducer to generate a measurable signal proportional to the concentration of target analytes. In this chapter we will focus ...
Herbicides in the Soil Environment: Linkage Between Bioavailability and Microbial Ecology
(IntechOpen, 2011)
Modern agriculture relies heavily on herbicides for the control of weeds in crops and pastures to maximize yields and economical benefits to sustain an increasing world population. The introduction of herbicide-resistant ...
Modern microbial mats and endoevaporites systems in Andean lakes a general approach
(Springer, 2020)
Puna wetlands and salars are a unique extreme environment all over the world, since their locations are in high-altitude saline deserts, largely influenced by volcanic activity. Ultraviolet radiation, arsenic content, high ...
Complete Characterization of Stratified Ecosystems of the Salar de Llamara (Atacama Desert)
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2020)
Salar de Llamara is situated in the north of the Atacama Desert, which is the driest desert and one of the most irradiated places on Earth. Besides, its subterranean hypersaline waters contain a high content of arsenic, ...
A Harsh Life to Indigenous Proteobacteria at the Andean Mountains: Microbial Diversity and Resistance Mechanisms Towards Extreme Conditions
(Nova Science Publishers, 2011)
High-altitude Andean lake (HAAL) ecosystems of the South American Andes are almost unexplored systems of shallow lakes formed during the Tertiary geological period, distributed in the geographical area called the Puna at ...
Hydrocarbon remediation by Patagonian microbial consortia
(Springer, 2016)
Among the technologies for recovering hydrocarbon-polluted sites, bioremediation is particularly interesting for wastewater and residue treatment. In this chapter, we first introduce hydrocarbon bioremediation focusing on ...
