Microbial dysbiosis has effects on human physiology that go beyond periodontitis and involve a number of clinically important processes, such as obesity, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal cancer.
Herbivorous mammals rely on resident gut microorganisms to gain energy from their main food sources, and this has entailed major changes in digestive anatomy and physiology that allow efficient microbial fermentation to take place alongside the recovery of dietary energy by the host.
The intracellular redox state plays an important role in the cellular physiology that determines the efficiency of chemical and biofuel production by microbial cell factories.
Ochman doesn't know why our microbial communities are so similar to our evolutionary relationships, but he suspects there may something about a species' gut physiology that makes it welcoming to a particular community of microorganisms.
This was the Principia of physiology that established anatomy and physiology as sciences in their own right.
Also, reports showed that in microbial physiology, change in temperature leads to a sudden alteration in the activation energy (Khan et al. 2013).
These observations agree with current soil organic matter models that explicitly consider microbial physiology.
On Mars, although changes in planetary conditions occurred very progressively on the long term, these results do not suggest any improvement in life detection, for microbial physiologies similar to that one of Yersinia.
Here we describe recent advances in microbial physiology and genomic research of these organisms that enable novel strategies for obtaining safe, healthy, and good-tasting fermented food products.
But I would think that even a state-of-the-art effort like that would require techniques from microbial physiology or chemical engineering to move into fermenters.
