The mineral, lean, and fat contents of the human body may be not only allometrically but also
functionally associated. This report evaluates the influence of muscle mass on bone mass …

Members of the acI lineage of Actinobacteria are the most abundant microorganisms in most
freshwater lakes; however, our understanding of the keys to their success and their role in …

Cognitive impairment is common in heart failure ( HF ) and believed to be the result of cerebral
hypoperfusion and subsequent brain changes including white matter hyperintensities ( …

Microorganisms are usually studied either in highly complex natural communities or in
isolation as monoclonal model populations that we manage to grow in the laboratory. Here, we …

Stratified lakes and ponds featuring steep oxygen gradients are significant net sources of
greenhouse gases and hotspots in the carbon cycle. Despite their significant biogeochemical …

Actinobacteria within the acI lineage are often numerically dominating in freshwater ecosystems,
where they can account for >50% of total bacteria in the surface water. However, they …

To understand the forces driving differentiation and diversification in wild bacterial populations,
we must be able to delineate and track ecologically relevant units through space and time…

With this work we intend to stress the importance of considering discrete depth sampling for
bacterial community analysis of stratified aquatic systems. Depth is a very important …

In this study a microbial community suitable for anaerobic digestion of carrot pomace was
developed from inocula obtained from natural environmental sources. The changes along the …

Background Microorganisms in the seafloor use a wide range of metabolic processes,
which are coupled to the presence of functional genes within their genomes. Aquatic …
