How do the environmental extremes of Siberian permafrost soils shape the composition of the bacterial soil community? [PDF]
Microbial communities in permafrost soils of the Siberian Arctic are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. The soils are frozen throughout the entire year except for the short summer period, when thawing of the uppermost 20 to 50 cm of the ...

Investigating exudate- and habitat-mediated effects of phytoplankton on lake bacterial community dynamics [PDF]
Correlated patterns of abundance, activity, and composition are commonly observed between phytoplankton and bacterial communities. There are a number of potential explanations for correlated dynamics.

Are Bursaphelenchus xylophilus-associated bacteria playing a role in pine wilt disease? [PDF]
Pine wilt disease (PWD), presently the most severe coniferous disease worldwide, is caused by the plant parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pinewood nematode (PWN).

Vaccine implementation: Alaska 2017 [PDF]
Bacterial meningitis is a serious disease that causes permanent dysfunction or death; adolescents and young adults carry the greatest risk. The national Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has released vaccine recommendations that include

Day-length is central to maintaining consistent seasonal diversity in marine bacterioplankton [PDF]
Marine bacterial diversity is vast, but seasonal variation in diversity is poorly understood. Here we present the longest bacterial diversity time series consisting of monthly (72) samples from the western English Channel over a 6 year period (2003-2008)

The effects of environmental conditions on quorum sensing and community interactions in coral-associated bacteria [PDF]
The coral holobiont contains diverse communities of bacteria that play a role in the maintenance of coral ecosystems, however little is known about the structure and conservation of the host-bacterial relationship.

Microbial diversity in Baltic Sea sediments [PDF]
This thesis focuses on microbial community structures and their functions in Baltic Sea sediments. First we investigated the distribution of archaea and bacteria in Baltic Sea sediments along a eutrophication gradient.

Can the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli colonize the gut of Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum)? [PDF]
Ticks are obligate blood feeding ectoparasites and vectors of several mammalian pathogens (Williams-Newkirk et al, 2014). In addition to pathogens they also carry a bacterial community with commensal and symbiotic relationships (Bonnet et al, 2017 ...
