MetabolomicsCoupled nitrogen fixation and substrate stabilization drive ecological strategy shifts during microbial succession

Background:

Primary succession is predicted to proceed through shifts from stress-tolerant to competitive to cooperative ecological strategies as resource availability increases, yet molecular evidence for these transitions in microbial systems remains limited. Here, we used an integrated m...

MetabolomicsPlasmid-encoded toxin defence mediates mutualistic microbial interactions

Gut environments harbour dense microbial ecosystems in which plasmids are widely distributed. Plasmids facilitate the exchange of genetic material among microorganisms while enabling the transfer of a diverse array of accessory functions. However, their precise impact on microbial community compo...

MetabolomicsA synthetic community system for probing microbial interactions driven by exometabolites
Despite that most microorganisms live as part of community, we have modest knowledge about the interactions among microbial community members in nature, and the implications of those interactions for emergent community properties or ecosystem-relevant functions. To facilitate advances in understandi...

MetabolomicsBenthic exometabolites and their ecological significance on threatened Caribbean coral reefs (Metabolite collection incubation assays)

Benthic organisms sustain coral reefs through their growth and metabolism, but less is known about how their released metabolites influence reef seawater microorganisms. To investigate metabolite composition of benthic exudates and their ecological significance for reef microbial communities, we ...

MetabolomicsBenthic exometabolites and their ecological significance on threatened Caribbean coral reefs (Metabolite uptake incubation assay)

Benthic organisms sustain coral reefs through their growth and metabolism, but less is known about how their released metabolites influence reef seawater microorganisms. To investigate metabolite composition of benthic exudates and their ecological significance for reef microbial communities, we ...

ProteomicsMucin drives human gut microbial ecological interactions in an in vitro synthetic community
In this study, we created a synthetic mucin-degrading microbial community to specifically study mucin-driven ecological interactions in vitro. The synthetic community consisted of primary mucin degraders and cross-feeders. We tracked community composition and dynamics and the mucin-degrading enzymes...

MetabolomicsIntegrating metagenome-scale metabolic models and metabolomics to explore candidate biochemical interactions in cultivated Microcystis phycospheres

Favoured by global changes, freshwater cyanobacterial harmful blooms generate major ecological, economical and public health challenges. Microcystis, one of the most widespread cyanobacterial genera, grows within a phycosphere where specialised interactions with its microbiome occur, and...

MetabolomicsNarrow-spectrum resource-utilizing bacteria drive the stability of synthetic communities through enhancing metabolic interactions
The importance of synthetic microbial communities in agriculture is increasingly being recognized, but methods for constructing targeted synthetic communities using existing microbial resources remain limited. In this study, six plant beneficial bacterial strains with distinct capacities for utilizi...

ModelsLeibovich2022 - multispecies eco-competition describes by Master equation
We are using a minimal model of interacting multispecies ecological communities that incorporates competition, immigration, and demographic noise. Importantly, the dynamics of the system are described by a birth-death process with interactions, whereby the abundance (the number of individuals) of an...

MetabolomicsA Combined LC-MS Metabolomics- and 16S rRNA Sequencing Platform to Assess Interactions between Herbal Medicinal Products and Human Gut Bacteria in Vitro: a Pilot Study on Willow Bark Extract
Herbal preparations are complex mixtures of natural products, many of which are able to reach the distal gut. There, they influence the microbial communities, and can be metabolized into bioactive metabolites. The aim of this study was to establish an interdisciplinary platform to unravel interactio...
