Abstract: When methane-producing microbial communities are mixed experimentally, the resulting community is dominated by the community with the greatest resource-use efficiency. These results suggest a degree of community cohesion, or the maintenance of that initial community… read more here.

Abstract: Significance In the microbial world, it is common for previously isolated communities to come in contact with one another. This phenomenon is known as community coalescence. Despite it being a key process in the assembly… read more here.

Abstract: Failure to maintain segregation of oral and gut microbial communities has been linked to several diseases. We sought to characterize oral-fecal microbiome community coalescence, ectopic extension of oral bacteria, clinical variables contributing to this phenomenon,… read more here.
