Fusing Individual-based Models with Genome-scale Metabolic Networks - a Novel Approach for Quantifying Emergent Microbial Community Spatiotemporal Dynamics

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Dani Or

Metabolic capabilities of organisms govern their growth characteristics and their capability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In natural systems, substrates can change dynamically and spatially with multiple species competing for resources. G ...

Hydraulics drives lifestyle differentiation of attached biofilms and suspended aggregates

Hannes Markus Peter

Exposing planktonic source communities from stream and floodplain ecosystems to differing hydraulic environments revealed strong selective hydraulic pressures but only minor founder effects on the differentiation of attached biofilms and suspended aggregat ...

Attached biofilms and suspended aggregates are distinct microbial lifestyles emanating from differing hydraulics

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter

Small-scale hydraulics affects microbial behaviour at the cell level1, trophic interactions in marine aggregates2 and the physical structure and function of stream biofilms3,4. However, it remains unclear how hydraulics, predictably changing from small str ...

Indirect Evidence Link PCB Dehalogenation with Geobacteraceae in Anaerobic Sediment-Free Microcosms

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Martina Praveckova

Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) production was brought to a halt 30 years ago, recalcitrance to degradation makes them a major environmental pollutant at a global scale. Previous studies confirmed that organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) were ...

Foam on troubled water: Capillary induced finite-time arrest of sloshing waves

François Gallaire, Benjamin Jérémy Dollet, Francesco Viola, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

Interfacial forces exceed gravitational forces on a scale small relative to the capillary length-two millimeters in the case of an air-water interface-and therefore dominate the physics of sub-millimetric systems. They are of paramount importance for vario ...

Functional responses of multitaxa communities to disturbance and stress gradients in a restored floodplain

Edward Mitchell, François Gillet, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Bertrand Fournier

Trait-based approaches can reveal the mechanisms through which disturbances or stress impact communities, allowing comparisons of the role of different mechanisms in shaping communities among taxonomic groups. Such information can lead to higher comparabil ...

Rare but active taxa contribute to community dynamics of benthic biofilms in glacier-fed streams

Tom Ian Battin

Glaciers harbour diverse microorganisms, which upon ice melt can be released downstream. In glacier-fed streams microorganisms can attach to stones or sediments to form benthic biofilms. We used 454-pyrosequencing to explore the bulk (16S rDNA) and putativ ...

Description of a new Eudicella daphnis (Buquet) from Eastern Africa (Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

A new Eudicella (Eudicella) daphnis is described from Eastern Africa and diagnosed against the taxa that mimic it. A revised dichotomic key to all Eudicella (Eudicella) species and subspecies is presented. ...

Biogeography, Evolution and Diversity of Free-Living Protists

Thierry Jean Heger

Although widely recognized as essential actors of ecosystem processes and representing a significant part of the Earth's biodiversity, free-living protists are poorly known. Major questions concerning their diversity, ecology, and evolution remain complete ...

Morphology, Biometry, and Taxonomy of Freshwater and Marine Interstitial Cyphoderia (Cercozoa: Euglyphida)

Edward Mitchell, Thierry Jean Heger

Good taxonomy is essential for ecological, biogeographical, and evolutionary studies of any group of organisms. Therefore, we performed detailed light- and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations on the shell ultrastructure and biometric analyses ...
