Quantifying drift-selection balance using an agent-based biofilm model of identical heterotrophs under low-nutrient conditions
Interface Focus.
TL;DR:
An agent-based model was used to manipulate luck by controlling seed cevalues governing random number generation, which enabled quantifying the growth advantage required to overcome drift and found that crowding intensity affected that balance.

Measuring the Shape and Size of Activated Sludge Particles Immobilized in Agar with an Open Source Software Pipeline
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 1(143).
Contributors: n , J. Williams n, J. Ducoste n & F. De Los Reyes n
author keywords: Environmental Sciences; Issue 143; Digital image analysis; particle size; particle shpe; activated sludge; granular sludge; floc; morphology; microscopy; software; FIJI
MeSH headings : Agar / chemistry; Image Processing, Computer-Assisted; Particle Size; Quality Control; Reproducibility of Results; Sewage / analysis; Software
TL;DR:
A protocol is presented that details the steps needed to produce a repeatable, accessible, reproducible, and partially-automated experimental results, and the product of such a method can be well-formatted, well-defined, and easily understood by data analysis software, easing both within-lab analyses and data sharing between labs.

Controlling aerobic biological floc size using Couette-Taylor Bioreactors
Water Research, 147, 177–183.
Contributors: * , H. Hong, J. Ducoste* & F. Reyes
author keywords: Aerobic sludge; Floc size; Shear rate; Couette-taylor bioreactor
MeSH headings : Bioreactors; Flocculation; Particle Size; Sewage; Waste Disposal, Fluid
TL;DR:
The Couette-Taylor bioreactor (CTB) is introduced as an improved tool for controlling biological floc size, specifically as compared with bubble-column sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) to test the ability to better control shear rates within a CTB to enable better-controlled floc sizes.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 33, 112–118.
Contributors: F. Reyes, J. Weaver & L. Wang*
MeSH headings : Bioreactors; Biotechnology / methods; Ecosystem; Soil Microbiology
TL;DR:
A methodological framework is presented that can guide experimental design, and specific issues that can affect how researchers generate and use data to elucidate the relationships are discussed, that identify bioreactor research opportunities that appear promising.
