Structural and Proteomic Changes in Viable but Non-culturable Vibrio cholerae
This study gives unprecedented insight into the physiology of VBNC cells and the drastically altered presence of their metabolic and structural proteins. Introduction Changes in the physical and chemical properties of their environment, such as heat, cold and salt stress, oxygen and nutrient deprivation, desiccation and changes in osmolarity, threaten the survival of bacteria, and they have therefore evolved various strategies to evade detrimental effects (Merchant and Helmann, 2012; Alvarez-Ordóñez et al., 2015; Guan et al., 2017). The facultative human pathogen Vibrio cholerae, is common in brackish...

Characterizing Relationship of Microbial Diversity and Metabolite in Sichuan Xiaoqu
Conclusion The difference in microbial community structures among different Xiaoqu samples was significant. The saccharifying- and liquefying-power were positively correlated with α- and β-diversity of bacteria but was also positively correlated with that of fungi. Staphylococcus and Weissella were dominant bacteria, while Rhizopus and Candida were dominant fungi, and abundance ranged from 33.66 to 91.53% for the former, while it was 58.51 and 48.72%, respectively in sample No3 and sample No4, for the latter. The difference of microbial community diversity resulted in the discrepancy of the volatile profile ...
