Iron is an essential trace element for most organisms. A common way for bacteria to acquire
this nutrient is through the secretion of siderophores, which are secondary metabolites that …

Bacillus and Pseudomonas ubiquitously occur in natural environments and are two of the
most intensively studied bacterial genera in the soil. They are often coisolated from …

Recent studies have demonstrated that drought leads to dramatic, highly conserved shifts in
the root microbiome. At present, the molecular mechanisms underlying these responses …

Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common syndrome characterized by Lactobacillus-deficient
vaginal microbiota, is associated with adverse health outcomes. BV often recurs after …

This study aimed to explore how dissolved oxygen (DO) affected the characteristics and
mechanisms of denitrification in mixed bacterial consortia. We analyzed denitrification …

Microbes do not live in isolation but in microbial communities. The relevance of microbial
communities is increasing due to growing awareness of their influence on a huge number of …

Coculture is an important model system in microbial ecology studies. As a key experimental
parameter, the initial inoculation ratio has a crucial impact on the results of the coculture …

Single aerobic denitrifying bacterial strains have been studied extensively; considerably less
attention has been paid to mix-cultured aerobic denitrifying bacteria (Mix-CADB). Herein …

It is expected that the quicker domestication of anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox)
communities and the enhancement of their nitrogen transformation capability can be …

Microbiome metabolism underlies numerous vital ecosystem functions. Individual
microbiome members often perform partial catabolism of substrates or do not express all of …
