Molecular aerobiology and genomics have emerged as interdisciplinary fields that investigate the airborne distribution and dynamics of biological particles like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and pollen in Earth's atmosphere. Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing and metagenomic analysis have revolutionized the ability to characterize the diversity and abundance of airborne microorganisms and their relation to structural and functional genomics. Genomic techniques now allow researchers to decode the genomic content of aerosols, revealing information about microbial communities, their functions, and interactions with the environment. However, challenges remain regarding standardizing sampling protocols, bioinformatic analyses, and data interpretation across studies, as well as addressing ethical issues related to using genomic data in public

Irvine, CA50 Important Research Questions In Microbial Ecology
50 Important Research Questions In Microbial EcologyNat Rice
Ìý
This document presents 50 important research questions in microbial ecology identified by a workshop of experts. The questions are categorized into seven themes: host-microbiome interactions; health and infectious diseases; human health and food security; microbial ecology in a changing world; environmental processes; functional diversity; and evolutionary processes. Many questions recognize that microbes provide functional diversity that can address real-world problems. Knowledge gaps around spatial and temporal variation in microbial communities are also reflected. The questions are intended to guide future research by stimulating discussion among researchers, funders, and policymakers.Metagenomics

This document discusses metagenomics, which is the study of microbial communities directly in their natural environments without isolating individual species. It outlines some key aspects of metagenomics including that most prokaryotes cannot be cultured, the use of metagenomics to study viral communities, and approaches such as functional screening and sequence-based screening. Limitations and future directions are also mentioned. Metagenomics provides insights into microbial interactions, metabolism, and genomics that were previously unknown.Understanding microbial infections using microarray technology
Understanding microbial infections using microarray technologyOpen Access Research Paper
Ìý
Human microbial infections are symbiotic processes between pathogens and humans that often lead to human disease and death. Microbial infections involve the attachment, growth, and survival of microorganisms on human skin, inside the body, or inside specific cells. Microbial infections can be localized to one body region or migrate to secondary body locations utilizing various transport mechanisms. An understanding of host-pathogen interactions related to the expression of essential genes during and after infection can lead to valuable information for biologists and clinicians. Microarray technologies allow researchers to perform genomic characterization experiments rapidly and efficiently. Microarray experiments support the resolution of underlying molecular events that play a role in normal and aberrant physiologic activities in living systems. Microarray technology, coupled with bioinformatics analysis, generates comprehensive insights into relevant genes, proteins, and protein-protein interactions. This review article explores recent microarray research studies from select protozoan and bacterial pathogens to illustrate how researchers utilize microarray technology to examine aspects of microbial infection. Microarray studies of pathogen and host genomes at different stages of the infection process will generate a more precise understanding of pathogenic life cycles and pathogen survival strategies. Detailed knowledge of the genes involved in the microbial infection process will lead to the discovery of disease biomarkers and potent therapeutic solutions.

Microfluidics has shown promise for improving diagnostics and biology research by enabling rapid sample processing and precise control of fluids. However, adoption of microfluidic technologies in mainstream biology has not matched initial enthusiasm. While most microfluidic publications remain in engineering journals, their use in fields like cell biology, hematology and immunology is increasing. A case study of chemotaxis assays illustrates how traditional techniques have evolved over time to improve, whereas microfluidic solutions have yet to achieve widespread adoption in biology. Further development is needed to help microfluidics live up to its potential.Metagenome : fungal and bacterial interactions

This document discusses research on the lung mycobiota (fungal microbiota) in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Deep sequencing was used to analyze fungal and bacterial communities in sputum samples from CF patients. 24 fungal species/genera were identified, only 4 of which had been previously isolated by culture. Fungal and bacterial diversity were found to be statistically associated with clinical status measures like lung function. A pilot study on 8 samples found that lower diversity was linked to poorer clinical status. Further research aims to better characterize lung microbial communities in CF and understand how they relate to disease exacerbation and response to treatment.Sciences of Europe No 80 (2021) Vol. 2

Phage adhere more strongly to mucus layers than surrounding environments across diverse animal species. In vitro experiments show that phage adhere specifically to mucin glycoproteins in mucus via interactions between Ig-like domains on phage capsids and glycan residues on mucins. Pretreating mucus-producing cells with phage reduces subsequent bacterial attachment and infection, protecting the underlying epithelium. The presence of Ig-like protein domains in phages from many environments suggests a widespread symbiotic relationship between phages and metazoans, whereby phage adherence to mucus provides a non-host-derived antimicrobial defense of mucosal surfaces.Bioinformatics and the logic of life

The document discusses the human transcription factor network built from data in the TRANSFAC database. It finds that the network exhibits scale-free and small-world properties with a hierarchical and modular structure built around a small number of key transcription factors. Most of these key factors are associated with proliferative diseases. The network modularity reflects common structural and functional features of the transcription factors that evolved through two distinct strategies: amplification and shuffling of interacting domains, and acquisition of specific interacting regions.CV

Airborne indoor and outdoor bacteria and fungi were assessed during the spring season using conventional methods to investigate the enumeration and identification of airborne micro-organisms taking into consideration anthropogenic variation of the environment. This was determined through air quality sampling using microbial air sampler (M.A.Q.S.II-90, OXOID, UK). The air samples were collected during the onset of harmattan in Nov 2017. four different zones located in Owerri local Govt, were chosen for the collection of airborne bacteria and fungi. These zones were Owerri downtown (Zone A), Imo State University (Zone B), Naze building material layout (Zone C) and the Open unoccupied area along Obinze Port Harcourt road (Zone D). were selected for air bio-pollutant measurement. Cultivation and total microscopic enumeration methods were employed for the sample analysis. Identification of isolates was done using conventional biochemical test and 16S Rrna. Twenty-six groups of bacteria and fungi, either of human or environmental origin were detected. Microbial count ranges from 20-2056 CFU/m-3 of air, with statistical significant variation (P<0.05) across locations which is proportional to human, other biological and physical activities. Environmental agents generally predominated while significantly higher counts were detected as the level of anthropogenic activities increases. Seven genera of fungi, mainly members of the genus Aspergillum, were isolated from all locations. Results correlated with data obtained from treatment centres establishes a link between the presence of these airborne bacteria and fungi and development of respiratory diseases.Levin Microbial Ecology Exemplifies Building Ecology

Each level of the hierarchy is called a taxonomic category or rank. Organisms are classified into broader kingdoms that are further divided into more specific categories like phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species.Algae in Diversified Habitats for M.Sc pptx

Algae are found in a variety of habitats including aquatic, terrestrial, and unusual environments. They are divided into three main types based on habitat - terrestrial algae that live on moist soil and surfaces, aquatic algae that live in water, and algae found in unusual habitats. Terrestrial algae, also called edaphophytes, live on or inside earth and occur on moist soil, tree bark, damp wood, rocks, and cliffs.Diversity of flowering plants deals pptx

Flowering plants show immense diversity in their morphology, ecology, taxonomy, and phylogeny. They range in size from the tiny duckweeds less than 2 mm wide to Eucalyptus trees over 100 m tall. Most are photosynthetic, though some are parasitic on fungi or other plants. They occupy nearly all land and aquatic habitats. Taxonomically, there are over 300,000 known species classified into 64 orders and 416 families. The Ranunculaceae family includes over 2,500 herbaceous species, many with showy flowers and compound leaves. Clematis is a notable genus of over 380 climbing species.Medicinal Plants with special reference to Chhattisgarh (1).pptx

Molecular aerobiology and genomics (1).pdf
- 1. Molecular Aerobiology and Genomics: A Current Scenario K.L. Tiwari Former Professor and Head, School of Studies in Biotechnology Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur (Chhattisgarh)- 492001 Abstract Current era is the era of molecular aerobiology. Molecular aerobiology and genomics have emerged as interdisciplinary fields that converge at the intersection of atmospheric science, microbiology, and genomics. Molecular aerobiology investigates the airborne distribution and dynamics of biological particles, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and pollen, in the Earth's atmosphere. Recent technological advancements in high-throughput sequencing and metagenomic analysis have revolutionized our ability to characterize the diversity and abundance of airborne microorganisms in relation to Structural genomics and Functional genomics. Genomic techniques now allow researchers to decode the genomic content of aerosols, revealing valuable information about microbial communities, their functional capabilities, and potential interactions with the environment. Genomic studies in aerobiology extend beyond microbial communities to include the genomics of airborne microorganisms and their impact on ecosystems. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in the field of molecular aerobiology and genomics. Standardization of sampling protocols, bioinformatic analyses, and data interpretation are crucial for ensuring reproducibility and comparability across studies. Additionally, ethical considerations related to the use of genomic data, especially in the context of public health and environmental monitoring, need careful attention.
