TL;DR: Quantitative profiling bypasses compositionality effects in the reconstruction of gut microbiota interaction networks and reveals that the taxonomic trade-off between Bacteroides and Prevotella is an artefact of relative microbiome analyses.

TL;DR: How knowledge gained from novel techniques will improve design and monitoring of water treatment and distribution systems in order to maintain good drinking water microbial quality up to consumer’s tap is discussed.

TL;DR: A cross-sectional analysis of participants in the MetaCardis Body Mass Index Spectrum cohort finds that the higher prevalence of gut microbiota dysbiosis in individuals with obesity is not observed in those who take statin drugs, and statin therapy is identified as a key covariate of microbiome diversification.
Absolute quantification of microbial taxon abundances.
Ruben Props,Frederiek-Maarten Kerckhof,Peter Rubbens,Jo De Vrieze,Emma Hernandez Sanabria,Willem Waegeman,Pieter Monsieurs,Frederik Hammes,Nico Boon +8 more
TL;DR: This work combined the sequencing approach (16S rRNA gene) with robust single-cell enumeration technologies (flow cytometry) and detailed longitudinal analysis of the absolute abundances resulted in distinct abundance profiles that were less ambiguous and expressed in units that can be directly compared across studies.

TL;DR: The findings show that data-driven UWM allows us to develop and apply novel methods, to optimize the efficiency of the current network-based approach, and to extend functionality of today's systems.

Using flow cytometry for counting natural planktonic bacteria and understanding the structure of planktonic bacterial communities
TL;DR: How this characteristic has been used for differentiating photosynthetic from non-photosynthetic prokaryotes, for measuring bacterial cell size and nucleic acid content, and for estimating the relative activity and physiological state of each cell is discussed.
Investigations on DNA intercalation and surface binding by SYBR Green I, its structure determination and methodological implications
TL;DR: Biophysical studies at defined dye/base pair ratios revealed the occurrence of intercalation, followed by surface binding at dbprs above approximately 0.15, and the structure-property relationships help in the design of methods that use SG, in particular dsDNA quantification in solution and real-time PCR.
Flow-cytometric total bacterial cell counts as a descriptive microbiological parameter for drinking water treatment processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that total cell concentration measured with FCM is a rapid, easy, sensitive and importantly, a descriptive parameter of several widely applied drinking water treatment processes.

Significance of size and nucleic acid content heterogeneity as measured by flow cytometry in natural planktonic bacteria.
TL;DR: In various experiments where predator pressure on bacteria had been reduced, the percentage contribution of HDNA bacteria to total bacterial numbers (%HDNA) increased, such that theHDNA bacteria are the dynamic members of the bacterial assemblage.

Bacterial community structure in the drinking water microbiome is governed by filtration processes
TL;DR: Grouping bacterial taxa based on their association with the filter helped to elucidate relationships between the abundance of bacterial groups and water quality parameters and showed that pH was the strongest regulator of the bacterial community in the sampled drinking water system.
