Model simulations can always be improved by testing predictions against field data collected
from different ecosystems, and Sulman and Phillips are doing just that: investigating how roots influence soil decomposition and protected forms of carbon in forests that vary in the
composition of tree and
microbial communities.
It's currently a challenge to do this kind of
microbial redesign — antibiotics reduce
microbial burden but fail to induce major changes in bacterial
composition, and
from fecal transplant studies in the gut we know that bacterial populations return to a baseline population even after a major shift — so more work is needed to attempt a durable change in the vaginal microbiome.
To satisfy
microbial nutritional fitness, the research team uses mineral mixtures that mimic the Martian regolith
composition from different locations and historical periods of Mars: «JSC 1A» is mainly composed of palagonite — a rock that was created by lava; «P - MRS» is rich in hydrated phyllosilicates; the sulfate containing «S - MRS,» emerging
from acidic times on Mars and the highly porous «MRS07 / 52» that consists of silicate and iron compounds and simulates sediments of the Martian surface.
Scientists
from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) investigated the
composition of bacterial communities in different digestion - associated organs but found no unusual or special
microbial communities when they compared these with those of other mammals.
Study after study has found that our microbiome affects nearly every aspect of our health; and its
microbial composition, which varies
from individual to individual, may hold the key to everything
from weight gain to moods.
Effect of salinity on diazotrophic activity and
microbial composition of phototrophic communities
from Bitter - 1 soda lake (Kulunda Steppe, Russia)-- Zorigto Namsarae — Extremophiles
To investigate variation in gut
microbial community
composition within a species, we collected fecal samples
from five groups of black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra) in Mexico over an eight - week period (May - July 2009).
When the team first examined the
microbial composition of intestinal biopsies, they saw the bacterial strains in the tumors and surrounding tissues of colon cancer patients differed
from the bacterial strains in the gut of healthy individuals.
There is a growing understanding that the
microbial composition of the digestive system, urogenital system, and urine of women with pelvic pain conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), interstitial cystitis (IC), and chronic yeast infections varies
from those in healthy women.
Effects of ocean acidification on
microbial community
composition of, and oxygen fluxes through, biofilms
