The increased presence of xenobiotics affects living organisms and the environment at large
on a global scale. Microbial degradation is effective for the removal of xenobiotics from the …

The gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms of different kingdoms, impacts
host physiology and disease. Within this ecosystem, inter-bacterial interactions and their …

Rice paddies are unique waterlogged wetlands artificially constructed for agricultural
production. Periphytic biofilms (PBs) at the soil–water interface play an important role in rice …

Background Macroalgal epiphytic microbial communities constitute a rich resource for novel
enzymes and compounds, but studies so far largely focused on tag-based microbial diversity …

A biofilm has a significant effect on water treatment processes. Currently, there is a lack of
knowledge about the effect of temperature on the biofilm structure in water treatment …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of nosocomial and community‐acquired infections
and contributes to significant increase in morbidity and mortality especially when associated …

The presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the environment has been
recognized as a worldwide concern. In particular, water pollution by CECs is becoming a …

Phototrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms coexist in complex and dynamic structures
called periphyton. These structures shape the biogeochemistry and biodiversity of aquatic …

Herbivorous insects employ an array of salivary proteins to aid feeding. However, the
mechanisms behind the recruitment and evolution of these genes to mediate plant-insect …

Holobionts are highly organized assemblages of eukaryotic hosts, cellular microbial
symbionts, and viruses, whose interactions and evolution involve complex biological …
