An optimized flow cytometry sorting-sequencing workflow reduces storage, sorting and extraction bias in sorted microbial communities

The paper optimizes a flow cytometry sorting-sequencing workflow to reduce contamination and bias in microbial community analysis.

Ultrastructural features of bacterial calcite unveil ubiquitous organics occlusion and clues on biomineralization

The paper examines bacterial calcite structures, revealing organics occlusion and their role in biomineralization, with implications for biosignature identification and technical applications.

Interindividual differences in caries potential of the salivary microbiome after mouthwash exposure

This study evaluates the effect of three fluoride mouthwashes on the salivary microbiome and finds that Meridol has the best anticaries potential, with flow cytometry capturing treatment response.

Molybdate application in the early stages of shrimp growth suppresses sulphide formation in a shrimp pond bottom model

The paper tests molybdate application at different stages of shrimp growth to suppress sulphide formation in a pond model, finding it effective only in early stages.

Isolation and Characterization of Strains used in Bacterial-Based Strategies for Accelerated Carbonation of Lime Mortars

This paper isolates and characterizes bacterial strains for accelerating lime mortar carbonation, finding that S. patagoniensis produces the most CO2 and achieves faster and greater carbonation.

Impact of flushing procedures on drinking water biostability and invasion susceptibility in distribution systems

This study evaluates how flushing procedures with and without chlorination affect microbial stability and invasion susceptibility in drinking water distribution systems.

Quantifying synthetic bacterial community composition with flow cytometry: efficacy in mock communities and challenges in co-cultures

This study evaluates flow cytometry's ability to quantify synthetic bacterial communities, showing it outperforms PCR-based methods in mock communities but faces challenges in co-cultures due to phenotypic changes.

Raman spectroscopy-based measurements of single-cell phenotypic diversity in microbial communities

This paper quantifies single-cell phenotypic diversity in microbial communities using Raman spectroscopy and the Hill diversity framework to study stress-induced changes.
