Journal of Biosciences, 2002 For a long time, the ability to communicate has been considered as an exclusive property of multicellular "higher" organisms. However, research over the past few decades has raised serious doubts about this point of view. Complex behaviours such as chemotaxis, quorum sensing and biofilm formation show that bacteria can communicate with the environment,

Shifts in the bacterial community composition along deep soil profiles in monospecific and mixed stands of Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium [PDF]
, 2017 Our knowledge of the rhizosphere bacterial communities in deep soils and the role of Eucalyptus and Acacia on the structure of these communities remains very limited.

Comparative Study on the Characteristics of Bacterial and Microeukaryotic Communities in Aquaponics and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems [PDF]
Progress in Fishery SciencesThe aquaponics system, an integrated ecological agriculture model, effectively combines aquaculture and the cultivation of aquatic plants. This system not only utilizes the nutrients in aquaculture water to promote plant growth but also purifies water ...

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 ...

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.

Geography and Location Are the Primary Drivers of Office Microbiome Composition. [PDF]
, 2016 In the United States, humans spend the majority of their time indoors, where they are exposed to the microbiome of the built environment (BE) they inhabit.

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 ...

Intercellular Nanotubes Mediate Bacterial Communication [PDF]
Cell, 2011 Bacteria are known to communicate primarily via secreted extracellular factors. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized type of bacterial communication mediated by nanotubes that bridge neighboring cells. Using Bacillus subtilis as a model organism, we visualized transfer of cytoplasmic fluorescent molecules between adjacent cells.

Increased variability of microbial communities in restored salt marshes nearly 30 years after tidal flow restoration [PDF]
, 2012 We analyzed microbial diversity and community composition from four salt marsh sites that were impounded for 40–50 years and subsequently restored and four unimpounded sites in southeastern Connecticut over one growing season.
