Lithic bacterial communities: ecological aspects focusing on Tintenstrich communities [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Tintenstrich communities (TCs) mainly comprise Cyanobacteria developing on rock substrates and forming physical structures that are strictly connected to the rock itself.

Comparison of epiphytic and intestinal bacterial communities in freshwater snails (Bellamya aeruginosa) living on submerged plants [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
The combination of submerged plants and snails can combat eutrophication of freshwater systems by suppressing algal growth and assimilating nutrients. By consuming epiphytes, snails can benefit the growth of submerged plants.

Functional properties of bacterial communities in water and sediment of the eutrophic river-lake system of Poyang Lake, China [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
In river-lake systems, sediment and water column are two distinct habitats harboring different bacterial communities which play a crucial role in biogeochemical processes.

Structural Composition and Diversity of Bacterial Communities in High- and Low-Yielding Moso Bamboo Forests

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: Bacterial communities play an important role in helping plants absorb nutrients, promoting plant development, and preventing diseases. Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis [Carriere] J.

Bacterial and Eukaryotic Small-Subunit Amplicon Data Do Not Provide a Quantitative Picture of Microbial Communities, but They Are Reliable in the Context of Ecological Interpretations

mSphere, 2020
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) of gene amplicons is a preferred method of assessing microbial community composition, because it rapidly provides information from a large number of samples at high taxonomic resolution and low costs.

Spatiotemporal Assembly of Bacterial and Fungal Communities of Seed-Seedling-Adult in Rice

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Seeds harbor not only genetic information about plants but also microbial communities affecting plants’ vigor. Knowledge on the movement and formation of seed microbial communities during plant development remains insufficient.

A cross-taxon analysis of insect-associated bacterial diversity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Although it is well known that plants and animals harbor microbial symbionts that can influence host traits, the factors regulating the structure of these microbial communities often remain largely undetermined.

Resistance of freshwater sediment bacterial communities to salinity disturbance and the implication for industrial salt discharge and climate change-based salinization

Frontiers in Microbiomes, 2023
The impact of salinization on freshwater ecosystems became apparent during the 2022 ecological disaster in the Oder River, located in Poland and Germany, which was caused by salt discharge from mining activities.

Bacterial Community Spacing Is Mainly Shaped by Unique Species in the Subalpine Natural Lakes of China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bacterial communities have been described as early indicators of both regional and global climatic change and play a critical role in the global biogeochemical cycle. Exploring the mechanisms that determine the diversity patterns of bacterial communities
