Bacterial Communities: Interactions to Scale [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
In the environment, bacteria live in complex multispecies communities. These communities span in scale from small, multicellular aggregates to billions or trillions of cells within the gastrointestinal tract of animals.

Profiling of Oral Bacterial Communities [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, 2020
The profiling of bacterial communities by the sequencing of housekeeping genes such as that encoding the small subunit ribosomal RNA has revealed the extensive diversity of bacterial life on earth.

Integrated biogeography of planktonic and sedimentary bacterial communities in the Yangtze River

Microbiome, 2018
Background Bacterial communities are essential to the biogeochemical cycle in riverine ecosystems. However, little is presently known about the integrated biogeography of planktonic and sedimentary bacterial communities in large rivers.

Bacterial Communities and Their Role in Bacterial Infections

Frontiers in Bioscience-Elite
Since infections associated with microbial communities threaten human health, research is increasingly focusing on the development of biofilms and strategies to combat them. Bacterial communities may include bacteria of one or several species. Therefore,

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.

Nutrient supply controls the linkage between species abundance and ecological interactions in marine bacterial communities

Nature Communications, 2022
Nutrient scarcity is pervasive for natural microbial communities, affecting species reproduction and co-existence. However, it remains unclear whether there are general rules of how microbial species abundances are shaped by biotic and abiotic factors ...

Life history strategies of soil bacterial communities across global terrestrial biomes

Nature Microbiology, 2023
The life history strategies of soil microbes determine their metabolic potential and their response to environmental changes. Yet these strategies remain poorly understood.

Variability of plasmid fitness effects contributes to plasmid persistence in bacterial communities

Nature Communications, 2021
Plasmid persistence in bacterial populations is strongly influenced by the fitness effects associated with plasmid carriage. However, plasmid fitness effects in wild-type bacterial hosts remain largely unexplored. In this study, we determined the fitness
