The study on the effect of mercury pollution on soil microorganisms around mercury mining area

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
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.

Effects of a Commercial Microbial Agent on the Bacterial Communities in Shrimp Culture System

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Commercial microbial agents (e.g., probiotics, microbial products, microorganism preparation et al.) have been widely applied for disease control in shrimp culture.

Studies of Bacterial Branching Growth using Reaction-Diffusion Models for Colonial Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
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]

open access: yes, 1998
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]

open access: yesarXiv, 1998
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]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
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]

open access: yes, 2019
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.

The Contributions of Sub-Communities to the Assembly Process and Ecological Mechanisms of Bacterial Communities along the Cotton Soil–Root Continuum Niche Gradient

open access: yesMicroorganisms
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 ...

Effects of Reforestation on the Structure and Diversity of Bacterial Communities in Subtropical Low Mountain Forest Soils

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
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 ...

Impact of soil inorganic nitrogen on bacterial phylogeny in estuarine intertidal zones: a study of nitrogen metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Here we investigated the potential impacts of soil inorganic nitrogen (SIN) content on the phylogenetic characteristics and ecological functions of soil bacterial communities in estuarine intertidal zones in China, aiming to comprehend the response ...
