Microbial nitrogen limitation in the mammalian large intestine
NATURE MICROBIOLOGY, 3(12), 1441–1450.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Bacteria / metabolism; Carbon / metabolism; Diet; Dietary Proteins; Feces / microbiology; Gastrointestinal Microbiome / physiology; Host Microbial Interactions / physiology; Intestine, Large / metabolism; Intestine, Large / microbiology; Mammals / microbiology; Mice; Nitrogen / metabolism; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
Faecal carbon:nitrogen measurements and manipulation of nitrogen availability via diet and host secretions in a murine model suggest that intestinal nitrogen limitation occurs due to host absorption and microbial use, leading to benefits for specific taxa.

2018 review
Antibiotic and pesticide susceptibility and the Anthropocene operating space
[Review of ]. NATURE SUSTAINABILITY, 1(11), 632–641.
TL;DR:
Rising levels of antimicrobial and pesticide resistance increasingly undermine human health and systems for biomass production, and emphasize the sustainability challenge of preserving organisms sufficiency in the face of climate change.

Do Sanitation Improvements Reduce Fecal Contamination of Water, Hands, Food, Soil, and Flies? Evidence from a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial in Rural Bangladesh
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 52(21), 12089–12097.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bangladesh; Child; Child, Preschool; Diptera; Escherichia coli; Escherichia coli Infections / prevention & control; Feces; Hand Disinfection; Humans; Sanitation; Soil
TL;DR:
Environmental measurements within a randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh that implemented individual and combined water treatment, sanitation, handwashing (WSH) and nutrition interventions were conducted to assess whether sanitation improvements, alone and coupled with water treatment and handwashing, reduce fecal contamination in the domestic environment.

Effects of Single and Combined Water, Sanitation and Handwashing Interventions on Fecal Contamination in the Domestic Environment: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial in Rural Bangladesh
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 52(21), 12078–12088.
MeSH headings : Bangladesh; Child; Escherichia coli; Hand Disinfection; Humans; Sanitation; Water
TL;DR:
Environmental assessments within a randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh that implemented single and combined water treatment, sanitation, handwashing (WSH) and nutrition interventions suggest that WSH improvements reduced contamination along the direct transmission pathways of stored water and food but not along indirect upstream pathways.

Space-Time Geostatistical Assessment of Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 52(21), 12484–12493.
MeSH headings : Gulf of Mexico; Humans; Hypoxia; Oxygen; Seasons; Water
TL;DR:
An innovative space-time geostatistical model and data collected by multiple research organizations are used to estimate bottom-water dissolved oxygen concentrations and hypoxic area across summers from 1985 to 2016, finding that 27% of variability in BWDO is explained by deterministic trends with location, depth, and date, while correlated stochasticity accounts for 62% of observational variance.

Development of Photochemical Microsensors for Evaluating Photosynthetic Light Dose Distributions in Microalgal Photobioreactors
Environmental Science & Technology, 52(21), 12538–12545.
Contributors: A. Karam n, F. De Los Reyes n & J. Ducoste n
MeSH headings : Biomass; Kinetics; Light; Microalgae; Photobioreactors; Photosynthesis
TL;DR:
The Lagrangian microsensors provide a novel approach for quantifying light within a photobioreactor and showed that bubbles, under the conditions tested, increased the overall light irradiance by 18%; a result not captured by static measurements.
