This study develops reduced complexity rhizosphere microbial consortia by enriching root-associated microbes from Brachypodium using carbon substrates, revealing their stability and functional roles in plant growth promotion.

The paper examines spatial microbial heterogeneity in Brachypodium roots using EcoFABs, revealing distinct microbial communities at root tips and bases with different functional gene profiles.

This study shows that electrochemical stimulation reduces methane production and consortium survival in a defined DIET co-culture.

This study shows that complex natural organic carbon sources better enrich diverse subsurface bacteria than simple organic sources.

This study shows that Methanosarcinales can uptake extracellular electrons without multiheme c-type cytochromes, suggesting an alternative mechanism for direct interspecies electron transfer.

This study examines the ability of two Methanosarcina species to accept electrons directly from insoluble donors and find that only M. barkeri can perform electromethanogenesis under fixed potential conditions.
