Ecological networks reveal contrasting patterns of bacterial and fungal communities in glacier-fed streams in Central Asia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Bacterial and fungal communities in biofilms are important components in driving biogeochemical processes in stream ecosystems. Previous studies have well documented the patterns of bacterial alpha diversity in stream biofilms in glacier-fed streams ...

Dietary and developmental shifts in butterfly-associated bacterial communities [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Bacterial communities associated with insects can substantially influence host ecology, evolution and behaviour. Host diet is a key factor that shapes bacterial communities, but the impact of dietary transitions across insect development is poorly ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Bacterial communities are fundamental symbionts of corals. However, the process by which bacterial communities are acquired across the life history of corals, particularly in larval and early juvenile stages, is still poorly characterized. Here, transfer

Plant-Environment Interactions, 2023 Bacterial communities play multiple functional roles in soil that have positive and negative feedbacks on plant health. However, relatively few studies have focused on the ecology of soil bacterial communities in commercial strawberry production systems.

Flow Cytometric Single-Cell Identification of Populations in Synthetic Bacterial Communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Bacterial cells can be characterized in terms of their cell properties using flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is able to deliver multiparametric measurements of up to 50,000 cells per second. However, there has not yet been a thorough survey concerning the

Structured foraging of soil predators unveils functional responses to bacterial defenses [PDF]
, 2022 Predators and their foraging strategies often determine ecosystem structure and function. Yet, the role of protozoan predators in microbial soil ecosystems remains elusive despite the importance of these ecosystems to global biogeochemical cycles. In particular, amoebae -- the most abundant soil protozoan predators of bacteria -- remineralize soil ...

Bacterial Communities: Interactions to Scale
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.

Mechanically-driven spreading of bacterial populations [PDF]
Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simulat. 35, 88 (2016), 2015 The effect of mechanical interactions between cells in the spreading of bacterial populations was investigated in one-dimensional space. A continuum-mechanics approach, comprising cell migration, proliferation, and exclusion processes, was employed to elucidate the dynamics.

Animals, 2023 The ecological functions of bacterial communities vary between particle-attached (PA) lifestyles and free-living (FL) lifestyles, and separately exploring their community assembly helps to elucidate the microecological mechanisms of shrimp rearing ...
