Wine originally emerged as a serendipitous mix of chemistry and biology, where microorganisms
played a decisive role. From these ancient fermentations to the current monitored …

Although complex interactions between hosts and microbial associates are increasingly well
documented, we still know little about how and why hosts shape microbial communities in …

A system for co-cultivation of anaerobic fungi with anaerobic bacteria was established based
on lactate cross-feeding to produce butyrate and butanol from plant biomass. Several co-…

To study the spatial and temporal dynamics of bacterial colonization under field conditions,
we planted and sampled Arabidopsis thaliana during 2 years at two Michigan sites and …

Food waste disposal and transportation of commodity chemicals to the point-of-need are
substantial challenges in military environments. Here, we propose addressing these challenges …

The 16S rRNA gene (16S) is an accepted marker of bacterial taxonomic diversity, even though
differences in copy number obscure the relationship between amplicon and organismal …

Background Interactions between diet, stress and the gut microbiome are of interest as a
means to modulate health and performance. Here, in vitro fermentation was used to explore the …

Food waste represents an underutilized resource for commodity chemical generation.
Constituents of the human gut microbiota that are already adapted to a food waste stream could …

Although the complex interactions between hosts and microbial associates are increasingly
well documented, we still know little about how and why hosts shape microbial communities …

Transmembrane electrochemical gradients drive solute uptake and constitute a substantial
fraction of the cellular energy pool in bacteria. These gradients act not only as "homeostatic …
