Rahel thinks that «much larger studies will need to be completed in order to understand the...
variation of these bacterial communities in healthy individuals and to determine if there are specific patterns that emerge from this variability that indicate normal and abnormal states.»
Building 3 - D
models of bacterial communities could help explain how the microbes work together and evade drugs, says bioengineer Jason Shear of the University of Texas at Austin.
The findings add strength and precision to a growing body of evidence that the
makeup of bacterial communities in the vagina — the vaginal microbiome — may increase or decrease HIV risk for women, depending on which bacteria are there.
The team also analyzed the effects of a «probiotic cocktail» of various bacterial strains that is being developed to treat inflammatory diseases, predicting the contributions of each member of the cocktail to maintain the
stability of the bacterial community when diet was altered.
In case of the bacteria that convert the complex components of the biomass, such as cellulose, starch, lipids and proteins, into carbon dioxide, hydrogen and acetic acids, in several stages, the composition
of these bacterial communities varies in the different feeding regimes.
«Biologists have long been interested in determining the evolutionary and ecological forces that drive the population
genetics of bacterial communities,» Bhaya explained.

Next ‐ generation sequencing has enabled systematic studies of the mammalian microbiota, and great strides have been made in characterizing the
structure of bacterial communities and their genetic potential in vivo.
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.
For example, before Emerald City played Silicon Valley, members of the two teams shared 28.2 %
of their bacterial communities.
A further synthesis of a wide range of microbial invasion experiments showed that the diversity
of the bacterial community that is already present in the environment forms a barrier to invading species.
Although it does not change the basic rules of evolution, holobionts do have a way to respond to environmental challenges that is not available to individual organisms: They can alter the composition
of their bacterial communities.
