A Study Of Microbial Theory - 843 Words

Traditionally, the study of microbial model systems in ecology has been limited, although the advent of molecular tools such as next generation sequencing has advanced the understanding of microbial community patterns and processes. This has resulted in a growing focus on studying fundamental ecological processes such as assembly and stability on microbial communities (Fierer, Ferrenberg, Flores, et al., 2012). Because of their simplicity, microbial model systems are in contrast with the complexity of the macro-ecological communities, allowing researchers to establish and test fundamental ecological mechanisms relevant to macro-ecological processes (Jessup, Kassen, Forde, et al., 2004). However, the current focus of microbial ecology is on characterizing simple community properties such as alpha beta diversity, relative abundance, and phylogenetic or taxonomic overlap (Baberan, Casamayor Fierer, 2011). Here, we aim to move past species inventories and abundance data towards understanding species interactions using a network approach, allowing us to characterize the ubiquitous building blocks of pharynx community common to all subjects of our study. Like macro-communities, fundamental ecological processes such as niche selection, dispersal or drift, play part in the formation and stability of the human microbiome. By using microbial communities as model systems, characterizing their ecological properties, assembly mechanisms and community dynamics, we can gain deeperShow MoreRelatedEssay about Coral Reefs1212 Words   |  5 PagesMacroalgae are frequently the competitive dominant driving phase-shifts, thus â€Å"coral-macroalgal phase-shifts† is widely use d to describe unusually low-levels of coral cover and a persistent state of high macroalgal cover.

It is important to classify bacteria in order to identify them. Identification of bacteria is important because they are not only useful but potentially dangerous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. Identifying bacteriaRead MoreThe Use Of Biogenesis Theory And Its Effect On Microbial Growth1500 Words   |  6 Pages During 1861, Rudolf Virchow made an argumentative hypothesis toward th e spontaneous generation theory with the concept of biogenesis theory which he created. At first it was very hard for him to support his theory since he does not have any scientific proof. However, thanks to the helped and the discovery that Louis Pasteur demonstrated on a flasks, where microorganisms that are presents in the air can contaminate sterile solution, Virchow was finally able to see the big picture and gainRead MoreCan Probiotics Improve Oral Health? Essay1499 Words   |  6 PagesCan probiotics improve oral health? Introduction Probiotics are live microorganisms that are introduced into a host’s body for their health benefits. Although research has been primarily concentrated on the gastrointestinal tract, many recent studies have suggested that it may have therapeutic effects on the oral cavity as well (Pradeep et al. 2014). Due to the links between oral health and chronic diseases (e.g. cardiovascular disease), oral care probiotics may play a role not only in the oralRead MoreWhat Are You Really Washing Your Clothes in?1460 Words   |  6 PagesAssumption that share 4 washing machines.
