TLDR
A growing body of theoretical and experimental population studies indicates that the interactions within and between bacterial species can have a profound impact on the outcome of competition in nature.Abstract:
Most natural environments harbour a stunningly diverse collection of microbial species. In these communities, bacteria compete with their neighbours for space and resources. Laboratory experiments with pure and mixed cultures have revealed many active mechanisms by which bacteria can impair or kill other microorganisms. In addition, a growing body of theoretical and experimental population studies indicates that the interactions within and between bacterial species can have a profound impact on the outcome of competition in nature. The next challenge is to integrate the findings of these laboratory and theoretical studies and to evaluate the predictions that they generate in more natural settings.read more

Isoprene degradation in the terrestrial environment
TL;DR: Seasonal isoprene degradation rates of soil were measured, demonstrating that the effect of soil microbiota acting as a sink for atmospheric isopene is lower than previously presumed, and changes in bacterial community structure analysis throughIsoprene enrichment suggested a replicable isopren-degrading community.

Gut Microbiome-Linked Metabolites in the Pathobiology of Major Depression With or Without Anxiety—A Role for Bile Acids
Siamak Mahmoudiandehkordi,S. Bhattacharyya,Christopher R. Brydges,Wei Jia,Oliver Fiehn,A. John Rush,Boadie W. Dunlop,Rima Kaddurah-Daouk +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with MDD, BA profiles representing changes in gut microbiome compositions are associated with higher levels of anxiety and increased probability of first-line treatment failure, suggesting the possibility of developing gut microbiome-directed therapies for MDD characterized by gut dysbiosis.

Antibiotics: Conflict and communication in microbial communities
TL;DR: The “golden age” of antibiotic discovery began when hundreds of antibiotics from diverse microbial genera were characterized for their efficacy in controlling pathogens and the infections they cause.

Recent advances in dental biofilm: impacts of microbial interactions on the biofilm ecology and pathogenesis
TL;DR: In this review, several examples of microbial interactions and their impacts on the homeostasis and pathogenesis of dental biofilms are described and it is hoped that this review will encourage research on microbial interactions in the regulation of theHomeostasis in bio Films.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic study suggests that SlPA and AuAAC could be part of a new family of actinomycete acylases, with a preference for substrates with long aliphatic acyl chains, and likely involved in QQ processes.

The Growth of Bacterial Cultures
TL;DR: Bacterial growth is considered as a method for the study of bacterial physiology and biochemistry, with the interpretation of quantitative data referring to bacterial growth limited to populations considered genetically homogeneous.
