A cross-species interaction with a symbiotic commensal enables cell-density-dependent growth and in vivo virulence of an oral pathogen
(Springernature, 2020)
Recent studies describe in detail the shifts in composition of human-associated polymicrobial communities from health to disease. However, the specific processes that drive the colonization and overgrowth of pathogens ...
Rainfall, microhabitat, and small mammals influence the abundance and distribution of soil microorganisms in a Chilean semi-arid shrubland
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)
Patterns in rainfall and soil water availability are considered to be the main drivers governing arid and semiarid ecosystems. While the mechanisms by which water limits aboveground net primary production has been widely ...
Co-occurrence interaction networks of extremophile species living in a copper mining tailing
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
Copper mining tailings are characterized by high concentrations of heavy metals and an acidic pH, conditions that require an extreme adaptation for any organism. Currently, several bacterial species have been isolated and ...
Characterization of the intestinal microbiota of wild-caught and farmed fine flounder (Paralichthys adspersus)
(Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2017)
A comparative analysis of the cultivable intestinal microbiota of farmed (AF) and wild-caught (WF) Paralichthys adspersus was performed. The 16S rRNA gene was used for taxa identification, and the ITS region for strain ...
Dietary gluten as a conditioning factor of the gut microbiota in celiac disease
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
The gut microbiota plays a relevant role in determining an individual's health status, and the diet is a major factor in modulating the composition and function of gut microbiota. Gluten constitutes an essential dietary ...
A novel model for biofilm growth and its resolution by using the hybrid immersed interface-level set method
(Elsevier, 2014)
In this work we propose a new model to simulate biofilm structures (‘‘finger-like’’, as
well as, compact structures) as a result of microbial growth in different environmental
conditions. At the same time, the numerical ...
A Combination of Extreme Environmental Conditions Favor the Prevalence of Endospore-Forming Firmicutes
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
Environmental conditions unsuitable for microbial growth are the rule rather than the exception in most habitats. In response to this, microorganisms have developed various strategies to withstand environmental conditions ...
