Abstract Microbial communities are ubiquitous in both natural and artificial environments. However, microbial diversity is usually reduced under strong selection pressures, such as those present habitats rich recalcitrant or toxic compounds displaying antimicrobial properties. Caffeine a alkaloid coffee, tea soft drinks with well-known antibacterial Here we the first systematic analysis of coffee machine-associated bacteria. We sampled waste reservoir ten different Nespresso machines...
The mechanisms by which bacteria uptake solutes across the cell membrane broadly impact their cellular energetics. Here, we use functional genomic, genetic, and biophysical approaches to reveal how Clostridium (Lachnoclostridium) phytofermentans, a model bacterium that ferments lignocellulosic biomass, uptakes plant hexoses using highly specific, nonredundant ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. We analyze transcription patterns of its 173 annotated sugar transporter genes find those...
Abstract Insect gut microbiomes play a crucial role in the insect development and are shaped, among other factors, by specialized diet habits as well morphological structure of gut. Rose chafers ( Pachnoda spp.; Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) have highly differentiated characterized pronounced hindgut dilation which resembles miniaturized rumen. Specifically, species marginata has not been previously studied detail terms microbial ecology. Here, we show fine scale study compartmentalized P. using...
Microwaves have become an essential part of the modern kitchen, but their potential as a reservoir for bacterial colonization and microbial composition within them remain largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated communities in microwave ovens compared domestic microwaves, microwaves used shared large spaces, laboratory using next-generation sequencing culturing techniques. The oven population was dominated by
Natural products have traditionally been discovered through the screening of culturable microbial isolates from diverse environments. The sequencing revolution allowed identification dozens biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) within single bacterial genomes, either cultured or uncultured strains. However, we are still far fully exploiting reservoir, as most species non-model organisms with complex regulatory systems that can be recalcitrant to engineering approaches. Genomic and metagenomic...
Bacteria are needed for a vast range of biotechnological processes, which they carry out either as pure cultures or in association with other bacteria and/or fungi. The potential biofactories is hampered, though, by their limited mobility solid semisolid media such agricultural domestic waste. This work represents an attempt toward overcoming this limitation associating bacterial properties the transport ability nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We report here biofilm formation on C. elegans...
Abstract Background Insect gut microbiomes play a crucial role in the insect development by assisting digestion, nutrient acquisition, and detoxification. These microbial communities are shaped, among other factors, specialized diet habits as well morphological structure of gut. Rose chafers ( Pachnoda spp.; Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), have highly differentiated characterized pronounced hindgut dilation which resembles miniaturized rumen. Specifically, species marginata shows very...
Bacterial comfort is central to biotechnological applications. Here, we report the characterization of different sensoring systems, first step within a broader synthetic biology-inspired light-mediated strategy determine Escherichia coli perception environmental factors critical bacterial performance. We did so by directly 'asking' cultures with light-encoded questions corresponding excitation wavelength fluorescent proteins placed under control environment-sensitive promoters. built four...
Abstract Natural products have traditionally been discovered through the screening of culturable microbial isolates from all sort environments. The sequencing revolution allowed identification dozens biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) within single bacterial genomes, either cultured or uncultured strains. However, we are still far fully exploiting reservoir, as most species non-model organisms with complex regulatory systems and yet recalcitrant to be engineered. Today, genomic metagenomic...
Abstract Microorganisms are ubiquitously distributed in nature and usually appear as biofilms attached to a variety of surfaces. Here, we report the development thick biofilm drain pipe several standard laboratory ice machines, describe characterise, through culture-dependent -independent techniques, composition this oligotrophic microbial community. By using culturomics, 25 different strains were isolated taxonomically identified. The 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed...
