Serpentine Biocrust Microbes Maintain Nitrogen Cycling Under Drought and Heavy Metal Stress
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.This study highlights the complex interplay between soil geochemistry and moisture availability in shaping microbial communities within wetter and drier serpentine and non‐serpentine biological soil crusts. It demonstrates that both factors influence the structure of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities and the processes they mediate.

High-throughput analysis of ammonia oxidiser community composition via a novel, amoA-based functional gene array. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Advances in microbial ecology research are more often than not limited by the capabilities of available methodologies. Aerobic autotrophic nitrification is one of the most important and well studied microbiological processes in terrestrial and aquatic ...

Long-term impacts of disturbance on nitrogen-cycling bacteria in a New England salt marsh
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Recent studies on the impacts of disturbance on microbial communities indicate communities show differential responses to disturbance, yet our understanding of how different microbial communities may respond to and recover from disturbance is still ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.We performed microbial membership and metabolism measurements across a uranium‐contaminated site's surface and ground waters, then performed analyses relating these metrics to geochemistry at the site. Findings showed variations in the membership, yet mainly similar functional capabilities.

Conversion of upland to paddy field specifically alters the community structure of archaeal ammonia oxidizers in an acid soil [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 The function of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) depends on the major energy-generating compounds (i.e., ammonia and oxygen). The diversification of AOA and AOB communities along ecological gradients of substrate availability in a ...

Underestimation of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria abundance by amplification bias in amoA ‐targeted
Microbial Biotechnology, 2016 Summary Molecular methods to investigate functional groups in microbial communities rely on the specificity and selectivity of the primer set towards the target. Here, using rapid sand filters for drinking water production as model environment, we investigated the consistency of two commonly used quantitative

PLoS ONE, 2014 Nitrification is a key process in soil nitrogen (N) dynamics, but relatively little is known about it in tropical soils. In this study, we examined soils from Trinidad to determine the edaphic drivers affecting nitrification levels and community ...

Changes in N-transforming archaea and bacteria in soil during the establishment of bioenergy crops. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Widespread adaptation of biomass production for bioenergy may influence important biogeochemical functions in the landscape, which are mainly carried out by soil microbes.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Abalone are economically, ecologically and culturally significant marine molluscs, with both wild and farmed populations under pressure due to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Abalone performance and health are centred on a highly specialized digestive system supported by a diverse gut microbiome, which enables nutrient assimilation ...
