The study on the effect of mercury pollution on soil microorganisms around mercury mining area
In order to further explore the effects of soil mercury pollution on soil microbial diversity and community structure, soil samples were randomly collected from 2 m, 20 m, 30 m, 500 m and 650 m periphery of Wanshan mining area, as 5 different treatments.

Studies of Bacterial Branching Growth using Reaction-Diffusion Models for Colonial Development [PDF]
Various bacterial strains exhibit colonial branching patterns during growth on poor substrates. These patterns reflect bacterial cooperative self-organization and cybernetic processes of communication, regulation and control employed during colonial development.

Spatio-selection in Expanding Bacterial Colonies [PDF]
Segregation of populations is a key question in evolution theory. One important aspect is the relation between spatial organization and the population's composition. Here we study a specific example -- sectors in expanding bacterial colonies. Such sectors are spatially segregated sub-populations of mutants.

Continuous and discrete models of cooperation in complex bacterial colonies [PDF]
We study the effect of discreteness on various models for patterning in bacterial colonies. In a bacterial colony with branching pattern, there are discrete entities - bacteria - which are only two orders of magnitude smaller than the elements of the macroscopic pattern. We present two types of models.

Bacterial Community Reconstruction Using A Single Sequencing Reaction [PDF]
Bacteria are the unseen majority on our planet, with millions of species and comprising most of the living protoplasm. While current methods enable in-depth study of a small number of communities, a simple tool for breadth studies of bacterial population composition in a large number of samples is lacking. We propose a novel approach for reconstruction

Mapping the bacterial ways of life [PDF]
The rise in the availability of bacterial genomes defines a need for synthesis: abstracting from individual taxa, to see larger patterns of bacterial lifestyles across systems. A key concept for such synthesis in ecology is the niche, the set of capabilities that enables a population's persistence and defines its impact on the environment.

Soil microbes are crucial in shaping the root-associated microbial communities. In this study, we analyzed the effect of the soil–root niche gradient on the diversity, composition, and assembly of the bacterial community and co-occurrence network of two ...

Reforestation with different tree species could alter soil properties and in turn affect the bacterial community. However, the effects of long-term reforestation on bacterial community structure and diversity of subtropical forest soils are poorly ...
