Bacterial colonization of the lower respiratory tract is frequently seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and may cause exacerbations leading to progression. Antimicrobial peptides comprise an important part innate lung immunity, not least cathelicidin human cationic antimicrobial protein-18/LL-37. Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADIs) post-translationally modify proteins by converting peptidylarginine residues neutral peptidylcitrulline. An increased presence PADI2...
Functionally uniform monocultures have remained the paradigm in microalgal cultivation despite apparent challenges to avoid invasions by other microorganisms. A mixed microbial consortium approach has potential optimize and maintain biomass production of seasonal changes be more resilient toward contaminations. Here we present a 3-year outdoor consortia locally adapted microalgae bacteria cold temperate latitude. Microalgal were cultivated flat panel photobioreactors using brackish Baltic...
Summary Phytoplankton and bacteria interactions have a significant role in aquatic ecosystem functioning. Associations can range from mutualistic to parasitic, shaping biogeochemical cycles having direct influence on phytoplankton growth. How variations phenotype sampling location, affect the microbiome is largely unknown. A high‐resolution characterization of bacterial community cultures dinoflagellate Alexandrium was performed strains isolated different geographical locations at varying...
To better predict the consequences of environmental change on aquatic microbial ecosystems it is important to understand what enables community resilience. The mechanisms by which a maintain its overall function, for example, cycling carbon, when exposed stressor, can be explored considering three concepts: biotic interactions, functional adaptations, and structure. Interactions between species are traditionally considered as, e.g., mutualistic, parasitic, or neutral but here broadly defined...
Eutrophication coupled to climate change disturbs the balance between competition and coexistence in microbial communities including partitioning of organic inorganic nutrients phytoplankton bacteria. Competition for has been regarded as one drivers affecting productivity eutrophied coastal Baltic Sea. Yet, it is unknown at molecular expression level how resources are competed for, by bacteria, what impact this on community composition. Here we use metatranscriptomics amplicon sequencing...
